This is my favorite Eurythmics album. Is that weird?

GangstaFam said:

Nah- it's the most Bowie-esque.

I will say that it is the most oddball in their career though, and doesn't represent the full "Eurythmics sound" that made them famous, although the seeds are there. Still, top notch.

GangstaFam said:

With those b-sides? I think that's cool!

CinisterCee said:

I'm happy with them, but they've left so many of the best ones off!

GangstaFam said:

Not at all. I think that with artists obscure albums...it's usually the most dedicated fan that "gets" the stuff most regular fans don't. It just happens to be their first album.

poop!

Anxiety said:

Double poop!

Anxiety said:

Licensing issue possibly? Was it on a different label?

I heard one cut off of it that was cool.

Poop motion passed!

If Annie had made "Lodger" I imagine it would sound something like "In the Garden". Love it.

call me greedy, but I want the Tourists, too.

Tell me: am I the only one who thinks "One Step Nearer The Edge" is strong enough to stand up w/ many of Eurythmics classic songs?

JonSnow said:

Will have to revisit. It's been awhile.

GangstaFam said:

please do. it rocks like sweet dreams era material, only on guitars instead of synths.

JonSnow said:

I'd like to condense all of the Annie sung Tourists tracks onto one disc. I think I'll be able to absorb it better that way.

GangstaFam said:

not a bad idea! if you do it, pls post your tracklisting

JonSnow said:

k.

regarding 1984 label ownership?

CinisterCee said:

CinisterCee said:

1984 was issued on RCA, so licensing shouldn't be a problem. In an Ice Magazine article way back when the reissues were first being talked about, there was a quote that 1984 would come later, that they wanted to get the main catelogue albums out. But that was a couple years ago, so they should have had time to do 1984 by now. maybe they just don't think it will do anything sales-wise, or maybe they no longer like it. after all, sexcrime didn't make the "ultimate collection"

JonSnow said:

I think it's easily one of their best. Definitely their "Low".

GangstaFam said:

Hayll No...that ain't wierd at all.
"Caveman Head" is in the top five of my Favorite Eurythmics songs ever!!!

I only have their Greatest Hits - and that's pure pop perfection.

As someone unfamiliar with most of their work, which one is generally regarded their best?

Sorry! Just read the headline, then posted!

I'll read all your comments then take the plunge...

JonSnow said:

Thanks Jon. Maybe they will release it if the other remasters sell well.

I had in my hands used CDs of Touch and Sweet Dreams (I have them on tape) a few weeks back. I was so close to buying them, because I was getting damn impatient for these remasters. Glad I held off...now I just have another damn 2 months to wait.

RipHer2Shreds said:

That's nothing compared to the relative ice age we've been waiting so far.

GangstaFam said:

No doubt. I don't think I'd heard about them until a year ago.

Moonbeam said:

I agree. As a whole, it's much better. I mean, I really dig "Savage," but I have to admit to ffwd through some of it, especially the grating "Do You Want to Break Up."

"Peace" is a great disc.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I'm pissed off because just a month ago I bought all 6 cds that I previously only had on cassette.

So, I for one am much more excited about the "Savage" dvd.

GangstaFam said:

"In the Garden" may be my favorite as well. "Belinda" and "Your Time Will Come" kick ass.

After all this waiting I want hybrid SACD with 5.1 Mixes
