Eurythmics for Prog-Related

I didn't know the album, but can hear where you're coming from with that album based on the tracks that Dean posted from it, and disagree with those who seem to think there are no merits for Prog Related (wonder if they all are reasonably familiar with the album you suggested the Eurythmics for -- would hope so) -- getting into Prog Related is quite an involved process, though, so I'm not saying the album SHOULD render the Euryhtmics includible..  It's quite reminscent in part to me of David Bowie's Krautrock influenced albums (Berlin trilogy).  Good stuff, and glad to hear music off it.  I like Eurythymics later work (group i alwys enjoyed), but music from this album really appeals to me. Thanks. I do plan to get the album at some time.

By the way, I've been listening a bit to The Tourists (the pre Eurythmics group), and since I've heard In the Garden called a link between the two groups, I hoped for something more interesting with The Tourists.

There is no need for this kind of remark.

My future ex-wife likes them, and that's baaaad news.

Very talented songwriter/studio boffin (Stewart) wedded to a charlatan quine whose wardrobe contained most of her creative output. The Eurythmics were better than the Tourists though. They once made a video in Orkney when I lived there - Here Comes the Rain Again?

However, there have been even more tenuous inclusions....

Oh no! I think I'm gonna *bjork*!

Personally I am biased against inclusion as I really cannot stand to listen to a minute of their music. I hate them.

Eurythmics was my first love, great band. But not remotely prog.

Their best song ever:

One Krautrock-influenced album is not enough considering they were pretty much a pop band after that.
