I chose Eurythmics as the first entry into the MyLot Music Hall of Fame because they show up often in our music countdowns, and have been used by more than one of us. In fact, @JohnRoberts even did an entire series dedicated to them. Eurythmics were a synth pop duo comprised of multi-instrumentalist Dave Stewart and vocalist Annie Lennox. Eventually, they began to incorporate live instruments into their sound. The Eurythmics resume is quite impressive: they are Grammy winners, Brit Award winners, MTV Music Award winners, and are in the UK Music Hall of Fame. They have also been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide. Not counting a nine year hiatus, Dave and Annie lasted 16 years, during which they released eight studio albums, a soundtrack album, a live album, two compilations, and 33 singles, most of which charted in multiple countries. What can I say? I would listen to Annie Lennox if she were singing the Denny's menu. It won't surprise me if Eurythmics continues to appear in these music series'.

Eurythmics and their fantastic song "I've Got an Angel" live from London nightclub Heaven, 1983. The song was written by Dave and Annie. You can find this tr...

One of my 80s favorites! She has a unique voice - and I always thought she was beautiful in a way that set her apart from all the others of that time!

@much2say - I saw Eurythmics at Red Rocks in the mid 80's. Jean Beauvoir opened. Awesome!

Annie Lennox has one unique voice. which I love. I admired her in the 90s when I was a university student. It was only later that I found out she was in Eurythmics and I liked some of the songs by Euryhtmics back in the 80s.

Such a talented writer and performer. She wrote "Into The West" for the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack and won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2004.

@teamfreak16 Yes, according to Wikipedia. You music posts spark an interest in the artist/bands you review. I like seeing what other interesting facts pop up about them.

Never heard of them. Meanwhile, I'd like to dedicate this song to Louisville, expecting another 2-3 inches over the weekend....

It's insanity they are not in the R&R HOF.
