TOTHWOS, "Abracadabra", Steve Miller

We should make a list of the established rock acts who tried to make a New Wave-ish record circa 1980-83, and how many failed miserably.  This certainly qualifies.

The short list of those few who pulled it off includes Bowie & Robert Palmer, any others?

did he just say "silk & satin, leather & lace, black panties with an angel's face"?

You are correct, sir.  He feels the magic in your size, too.

Linda Ronstadt could go either way. Let me think about that.

BOS1 to "Valerie", which could also qualify for 1987.

sorry I gotta WOS this for the precise reason in my previous post.  Woulda been a much better song if it had been produced in 1978 or something, with real drums and maybe some saxophone.

BOS Talk Talk2.

Now this is how you use a drum machine & synths.

ETA: and having gotten myself into this frame of mind, I realize how effective the use of accoustic drums & piano are on the bridge there.

Talk Talk sounds amazingly OK and you know I'm not a big 80's type.
