Speaking of Stones blasphemy, I’m always way more drawn to their attempts at pop or weird genre exercises than I am their blues-oriented stuff … big fan of “Too Much Blood” lol

Love this one, mine might be “Out of Time,” QT nailed it picking that one for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

I liked how driving this one is, they’re obviously masters at ballads, but I loooove it when they rev up a little bit

Don’t mean to hijack your thread, but YMO as always way way ahead of the curve, Takahashi wrote this immaculate sophistipop tune for Rajie’s 79 album all three guys play on it. Stunner:

Taeko Onuki was doing her take on French pop basically, but her 80s stuff with Ryuichi Sakamoto absolutely slots in I’d say:

It’s insane how hard this one goes

Are you familiar with the short-lived Act, featuring Claudia Brucken from Propaganda and Thomas Leer? Definitely one to add to the sophistipop playlist:
