From 1983 to 1987 I did what R.E.M. told me to do, This generally meant following trails, buying records and getting to know artists that they brought up in their interviews. This led me to dBs, the Power Pop pioneers who had formed in New York City in 1978.
It took me a while to really process dBs. They were sweeter and poppier than early R.E.M. who had more of a Bohemian Rock edge. I've definitely come round to their cause over the years. This is a rather spectacular listen nowadays. A glorious skewed Pop Record.
