Colour
by Numbers was Culture Club's most successful album, and, undoubtedly,
one of the most popular albums from the 1980s. Scoring no less than four
U.S. hit singles (and five overseas), this set dominated the charts for
a full year, both in the United States and in Europe. The songs were
infectious, the videos were all over MTV, and the band was a media
magnet. Boy George sounded as warm and soulful as ever, but one of the
real stars on this set

WHO’S THIS THEN? It’s
a band called Culture Club who were lead by the flamboyant, colourful
and determinedly single-minded Boy George (born George O’Dowd in my
hometown of Welling). The band had what pundits might call ”a string of
hits” from 1982 to their (or rather George’s) drug-assisted demise in
1986. George returned in 1987, semi-clean, with a number one cover of
the David Gates song Everything I Own. This was also covered by

Three
years after Ten Summoner's Tales, Sting released Mercury Falling in the
spring of 1996. Although the album debuted highly, it quickly fell down
the charts, stalling at platinum sales and failing to generate a hit
single. While the album failed, Sting remained a popular concert
attraction, confirming his immense popularity. Brand New Day, which
followed in 1999, turned his commercial fortunes around in a big way,
and 2003's Sacred Love did well also.

The
Best of Heaven 17: Higher & Higher is an extensive, 17-track
collection that contains all of the group's best moments, including
"Temptation" and "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thing, " plus
several album tracks, lesser-known singles, and remixes of their two
greatest hits. It's too much music for casual fans, especially since the
sequencing is slightly illogical, and it's n

Review: One of the most assured debut
albums of the mid-1980s, and one of the finest pop-soul confections of
all time, No Parlez was the record that, following on from the stellar
success of Young's earliest hits, left him poised to dominate the
remainder of the decade like no other vocalist could have. Three
singles laid bare all that Young was so eminently capable of. "Wherever I
Lay My Hat", a beautifully impassioned take on

Kajagoogoo's light synth pop and pretty,
photogenic look made the group an instant sensation in the early days of
MTV. Led by vocalist Limahl (born Chris Hamill), the group also
featured Steve Askew (guitar), Nick Beggs (vocals, bass), and Stuart
Crawford (vocals, synthesizer). Produced by Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes,
Kajagoogoo's debut single "Too Shy" hit number one in the U.K. in early
1983; it peaked at number five in the U.S. "Too Shy" and the following
