Thanks, Gerate, interesting list!
It’s true many of your top favourites aren’t my cup of tea, but I DO enjoy some Joe Jackson and Divine Comedy.
And your honourable mentions have loads of great stuff. Obviously Supertramp, but also Bacharach, Sting, Howard Jones, Cocteau Twins, Bush, Beatles. I even rocked out to System of a Down once upon a time, when nu metal was hot. 😀
But overall, I think you were more in tune with your own time than I ever was.
