Now that the Furs have been mentioned, I'll be bold enough to suggest a dumb
topic that I thought of earlier.

In the midst of all this EATB talk, my mind drifting backward, today I
happened upon a website in which an author referred to Talk Talk as an 80's
hair band.

My suggestion:

Since a bunch of gatherers seem to be in agreement about the significance of
EATB, what other bands can you think of that have been maligned or otherwise
written off just because they were victims of a fad or a superficial era in
history?

I'll take Talk Talk and offer the albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock
as proof of brilliance dwarfing any commercial success they may have enjoyed
earlier in their career, hair or no.
