Howard Jones – Life In One Day
We have said many times that the first six months of 1985, let’s say up to Live Aid, were probably the highest and purest period of all the 80s. In that period new artists appeared, while others were definitively recognized as icons of the decade.

Kate Bush – Babooshka
