There are three albums from the 80s which forever changed how I felt about music: China Crisis' Flaunt the Imperfection, Danny Wilson's Meet Danny Wilson and George Michael's Faith. All of them had this sound that touched me on different emotional levels, China Crisis and Danny Wilson being the most beautiful and somehow noble and George Michael the most base and yet still somehow beautiful. Listening to those three cds in recent weeks I find I still love them as much as ever...not for any memories they evoke (please! I'm trying to forget those!:) ) but for how fresh they remain....
Of the three, though, it was Flaunt the Imperfection that got me through so many hard times in high school and still remains a great source of peace during stressful times. It's a soft and beautiful and very different from almost everything else done during the 80s:)
