Pretty much anything by Gary Numan, really...

I always found Numan's older stuff a bit hit and miss, I absolutely love his past couple of albums and the dystopian themes he's been going for though.

One of those few artists that can genuinely reinvent himself and still sound fantastic.
 
I still can see in my head when I close my eyes exactly where I was on the dance floor in the Rhythm Station, Aldershot back in 1995 when this tune came on and I was losing the plot with the little background 4 note sound thinking was it in my head or for real.

The first few albums were great. The later Beggars Banquet and middle-80s stuff was very hit/miss... and then in 1994 he came out with the Sacrifice album, which set the standard for everything he's done since. I even got a song off that album played during our wedding! :D
 
I don't even like this song that much, but it is the first one that comes in my mind when I think about clubbing back in the days.
Even that the original song is from the 80s, it came back late 90s

Nice!

I'll have to go back and listen to his first couple of albums, I've been listening to a lot of Savage and some of his Intruder tracks leading up to the album release.

Excellent stuff.
 
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child defines adolescence as the period between 10 and 19.
So as I was born on 26/11/39, (same day as Tina Turner), my adolescence was defined by a two way tie between “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis, and “Rock around the Clock” by Bill Haley and The Comets.
Culminating with “Will You still love me Tomorrow” by The Shirelles, which was ‘our song’ when I was getting serious with the girl who became my first wife as adolescence morphed into early adulthood.
