Although Yazoo only released two albums in their career, both were absolutely brilliant and put an end to the prejudice that electronic music sounds just cold and sterile, because many of Yazoo's songs are deeply moving, such as ‘Bad Connection’.

When I first heard this song many years ago on a Goth/Dark Wave compilation, I was immediately fascinated by its structure and drama: it starts off very calmly and then builds up to a symphonic chorus carried by highly emotional female vocals.

Founded in Belfast in 1964, Them were a fantastic band who, with Van Morrison, had a much better singer than the Stones, played a harder blues than them, and yet still managed to produce such wonderfully melancholic tracks as ‘My Lonely Sad Eyes’.

I am sure that almost everyone knows Laurie Anderson's 1981 hit ‘O Superman’ because this song was so unusual that it stuck in the memory of everyone who heard it. But the New York performance artist had a lot more to offer...

Warren Zevon, who died at the age of 56, was an outstanding and brillant songwriter who really deserved a career similar to that of Billy Joel or Elton John – but he was probably too cynical, too political and too dark-humoured for that.
