This is called "not doing your research"! And I overlooked the Screamers being mentioned in the Earth Dies Burning post. My apologies! What abominations from the '80s should I listen to in penance?

Wait, are you going all anal-retentive on us and insist on the presence of a synthesizer of some kind?! (All I hear w/the Screamers is electric piano and organ, but I could be wrong.)albrecht koschnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499910614283064820noreply@blogger.com
