Regarded by many as one-hit wonders for "Under the Milky Way" (which is, to be fair, a fucking amazing song) but they've put out close to 20 albums since, are touring right now and continue to be great.
Seriously, check them out, they're fantastic. I'm especially fond of Hologram of Baal, but

I imagine it's an old man thing but I have a serious love for songs that remind me of Cold War Europe.
The Bowie Berlin albums, Kraftwerk, Leipzig, Berlin's The Metro, Ultravox and so on.

What are the other 39?
If Lexicon of Love isn't one of them, don't bother answering, you're wrong.

Damn straight!

He put out an album called "A Map of the Floating City" in 2011.
It's good. It's not Golden Age of Wireless all-time classic good, but it's good.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I must have this.
Seriously.
Is it more bizarre than Bryan Ferry's cover of It's My Party?

I bought the Dolby best of just because it was the only way at the time to get Leipzig, which is an amazing song.
I don't regret it, because it's great through and through, but I question the judgement of whoever thought Leipzig shouldn't have been on GAoW.

Cloudburst on Shingle Street and Leipzig are just… transporting.
The weird, chilly, proto-steampunk feel doesn't hit as hard now as it did back in the Cold War days

Beema, could you please supervise JaneSays2.

What's the dividing line between world-straddling rock gods and decades-long punchline and how does one locate it?
Well, I'm not sure what the line is, but I'm damn positive they crossed it somewhere between June 1991 and July 1992.
I saw them in '91, when they were supposed be touring for Use Your Illusion, which had

By all means keep calling out the metal purity police to make sure nothing tuneful or pleasant gets included.
Please, please keep insisting on proving how "not gay" you are by loudly playing terrible music that repels any and all non-deaf females. Nothing says "not gay" like a bunch of shirtless, long-haired dudes all

Well, weren't you just too cool for school.

She just wanted a Pepsi!

When I was in high school. we had to do a 'journal' every day, where we wrote something based on a title the teacher gave us. My friends and I routinely plagiarized song lyrics for them and our teachers routinely used song and album titles for the topics.
It was all a long time ago, so the details are a bit hazy, but I

I could do that at home.
