<<I hope I've not simply made the issue more obscure!>>
Not at all, that was precisely the sort of discourse I was looking for. And it serves
as a good summary of how Joni stayed 'in the period' yet still worked her own context.
Since she's not well schooled in music theory, the sounds in her head are rarely the
sounds of pop music, and probably also helps to explain why DED was not popularly
received even though it was music of the period.
Now how does all that stack up to The Fixx, who I know you tout as being
underappreciated 80's artists?
