one of my all time favorite songs...

I love when she uses her low register...

Where did you go...

I like that song

VoicesCarry said:

Wouldn't think you were the type.

But yeah, great song. It's the best one from their only weak album.

GangstaFam said:

Wrong! "Don't Ask Me Why" is better, and We Too Are One is NOT weak!

Moonbeam said:

I just don't like it very much. I'm glad she went solo after that. The 2 songs mentioned are the only ones I'm crazy about.

GangstaFam said:

Diva is definitely better, but I really enjoy 8 of the 10 We Too Are One tracks, plus the B-sides.

Moonbeam said:

"See No Evil" rules! It's so Princed out!

GangstaFam said:

Yeah!

Around November, I went through a Eurythmics phase. Anyway, now I have almost everything except 'We Too Are One', 'In the Garden' and 'Sweet Dreams'. I know I need 'Sweet Dreams', but are '...Garden' and '...One' essential also?

If it helps, "Savage" is my fav. Eurythmics album.

Axchi696 said:

In the Garden is an unheralded masterpiece- definitely crucial.

Axchi696 said:

"Sweet Dreams" is their defining moment. It's perfect.

"In the Garden" gets overlooked a lot because it's a bit more fractured and guitar oriented than their other stuff. But it's probably my favorite thing they ever did. It fits really well with Bowie's Berlin era stuff and reminds me quite a bit of "Lodger" and "Scary Monsters".

Definitely pick it up.

I've never been a big fan of "We Too Are One", but most folks dig it.

GangstaFam said:

Cool. Will have to keep an eye out.

Really digging 'Thorn in My Side', 'Shame' and 'Conditioned Soul' lots right now. Annie and Dave.

Axchi696 said:

3 of my faves!

GangstaFam said:

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, I never really thought of it in those terms before, but you're right there are definitely some ties w/ "in the garden" and Berlin-era Bowie. Very cool. Great album.

I've been digging "your time will come" and "she's invisible now" lately.

VoicesCarry said:

Actually "This is the house" has the same effect on me!

"Esta es la casa..."

Axchi696 said:

Mine too, and I can't stand We Too, save for "Angel" and a couple others. It's very much the beginning of the Adult Contemporary sound that Annie carried on with...

I don't dislike it. There just aren't a lot of songs that really grab me on there. And I'm a huge Eury/Annie fan. It's probably my least favorite post-Tourists project she's been a part of.

NorthernLad said:

shoulda been a single.

GangstaFam said:

That album was loaded with great potential singles.

GangstaFam said:

sigh.. I can't really argue with that. It's hard to argue that it's the weakest Eurythmics album. I still love it, but side 2 in particular has always struck me as fairly weak. "How Long" is among their weakest tracks, IMHO. It definitely sounds like a b-side to me.

MikeMatronik said:

see: "Jennifer"

CinisterCee said:

Another shoulda been single!

NorthernLad said:

Should we go for a Annie/Eury power ranking?

NorthernLad said:

"How Long" and "Revival" are pretty bad, but I really like the other 8 tracks. I actually prefer We Too Are One to Revenge and Savage.

Moonbeam said:

Well, if "We Too" is better than Revenge and Savage, then I'm really in for a treat. Revenge is excellent, and I'd rank Savage up with the best releases from '87 (Joshua Tree, Sign, Document, Nothing Like the Sun, Faith.... actually one of my favorite Musical years ever)...

And having Stevie play the harmonica part, was just an added bonus!!

I really don't think the Eurythmics albums get the respect they deserve. They are all just stellar, really. Very few weak tracks on any of the albums. They are edgy while still being very accessible. Perfect mix of alternative/experimental and pop... and amazing songwriting. Fantastic melodies, and Dave Stewart was completely underrated as a producer and arranger.

Listen to the bridge section of "There Must Be an Angel" that begins: "I must be hallucinating, Watching angels celebrating..." Annie's vocal is simply sublime, the arrangement is wonderful... it's moments like this that make Eurythmics so great.
