Yeah, but Barry loves Tom Waits
Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

Perhaps Tracy Chapman’s self-titled debut from 1988, Barry?

It seems I have shaken things up a bit!
Tracy Chspman, Susan Vega, etc. OK, but try as I might, I just can't get on with Tom Waits. Its his voice I dislike: sounds like a lot of phlegm gurgling in his throat.

Ah, dear old Sheriff Fatman.
I think that you and I could have a very interesting music chat.

The '80s to me seemed to be dominated by ephemeral pop groups which despite having imaginative names such as: Aztec Camera; Cabaret Voltaire; Altered Images; Duran Duran; Culture Club, etc. only produced a couple of decent songs that lasted.
There were however some good post-punk bands of the '80s such as: The Police; U2 and the Cure.
Just my ten penny's worth.

I agree, much better examples of that period imo. You had 'grunge', and bands like Faith No More, Nirvana, Guns 'n' Roses, Pearl Jam, Pixies and various other 4AD labelmates, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also a great time if you were into EDM, with The Orb, Underworld Primal Scream, Orbital, Chemical Brothers, to name a few. Really revived my interest in buying musicHmm have to say Tom Waits wouldn't have been my first pick of an example...
