I'll bet I haven't heard this since it was originally on the charts, but, Jesus Frankenstein, what complete and utter garbage. Just one more rebuttal to those who valorize 80s chart music.
Arcadia was definitely an overblown vanity project. Nick & Simon's pretension unchecked. What made DD work was the balance between the art rock leanings of Nick & Simon with the tougher edge of John & Andy.
Sounds/looks like cocaine & hubris.

John Taylor is also the best bassist in rock. Fight me.

I know you all hate it, but Save a Prayer is one of my favorite songs.

Gene Simmons finished several places ahead of Wobble. I think that list can be thrown at as so much Hoy playlist.

I LOVE Save a Prayer and yes - JT is a GREAT bass player. The band really suffered when he left - thankfully he came back!!

I've actually never thought much about Gene's bass playing skill - good or bad - I think because he (and KISS) are so much about hype that the music takes second stage.
