Eurythmics

Eurythmics was a post punk band primarily popular in the eighties. They are mainly known in the US for their one lasting hit Sweet Dreams, although they have actually had numerous bestselling albums and hit singles. They are commonly labeled as "new wave", which has for decades been a synonym for eighties alternative. However, new wave was originally a term used to describe the work of bands like Devo or Talking Heads. Eurythmics provided a more synth-based sound, different from new wave. They have also been considered by the actual Hall of Fame, but were not inducted.
