The Pretenders : Message of Love
Bringing the 70’s female vocal thread together with the 80’s junkie theme.
Blondie, Hanging On The Telephone.
Fleetwood Mac : Don’t Stop
Fleetwood Mac, Go Your Own Way
80’s punk, 30’s banjo/fiddle, 70’s synth-pop cheese. My musical tastes are the auditory equivalent of a pizza designed by stoners.
I’m not sure it’s just us.

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel
It must be Tuesday…
I feel completely hit or miss with XTC. That was one of their great ones though. I think I might have shot milk out my nose when I first heard the Primus cover.
Elvis Costello, Watching the Detectives.
Entirely coincidentally, I was dancing to this song at the exact moment that my grandmother was watching the police deal with my grandfather’s corpse.
I liked this before I read the bit at the bottom. Probably not the same level of discord you felt there.
I thought you’d go with
Manic Street Preachers - S.Y.M.M.
