Hm...I dunno.  The only song here I've heard is "With or Without You."
Spandau Ballet is that 80s band (recently chided in these parts) responsible
for that one popular song "True" which indeed was remarkably hideous.  Jane
Wiedlin, the one Go-Go that seemed to perhaps have some smidgeon of talent,
managed to make a few dollars with that one solo track "Cool something" (the
only thing sticking in my mind here is "Cool in the Pool" but that's Holger
Czukay).  Moby is that bald dude that does summathat hip electronica stuff.
I've seen the names Jamiroquai (they're not 80s are they?  Neither is Moby
for that matter.) and Manic Street Preachers before, but have no idea what
they sound like.

Surely this isn't/wasn't mega-popular music is it?  Atomic Kitten?  I'm not
*that* out of it am I?  I'm sure it's all crap, and that it's sold 17 times
as many copies as 'Yule Ritual,' but I imagine it could be worse couldn't
it?  Like who is this Robbie Williams person Harvey was telling me
about...I'd never heard of him before.  And they *did* say 'cheesy' didn't
they?  Surely that's accurate!
