5 for playing: Eurythmics

here we are again, trying to filter 5 (plus 1) songs i can call my favorites, and the band of choice for this post is making it difficult. the Eurythmics do not sound like your regular rock band or pop minstrels, yet they have a body of work that made them the best selling British duo of all time. the distinctive Annie Lennox remains one of my favorite female vocalists, and she can outsing anybody. it is a testament to their creative vibe to stay in the game so long, despite her and partner Dave Stewart's early romantic mis-entanglements. in the interests of keeping it with the name of this post, i have to cut other classics like Sweet Dreams, the Aretha Franklin-jam Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves, and yes, Sex Crime.
