I was definitely aware of The High Llamas at some point in the 90s but never investigated them too much. Time to revisit.

Microdisney - Everybody is fantastic

This is a fairly new to me band, and I had only heard their second album before this challenge. Really enjoying this debut I have to say.

Cheers for those. Soft Cell, Big Country, and Marillion are new to me so will give them a listen.

24. Robert Palmer - She Makes My Day

This has stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. Always struck me that there is something odd with the backing vocals in the chorus.
