Best Singles of the 80s, #16

16. FURNITURE — BRILLIANT MIND

You wouldn't think that this dark, almost gothic cult classic would have much in common with George Michael's Careless Whisper but — factoid ahoy! — this, too, was written on a bus. But unlike George's single, this never reached the mass market or the top of the UK charts. Instead, it's spread by word of mouth, subtly creeping into more and more people's iTunes libraries as the years go by. And with good reason.
