The story Eurythmics is my favorite band. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart paired up as Eurythmics in 1979 after leaving 'The Tourists'. Annie and Dave wanted to have more freedom in making music and writing lyrics. After working together as Eurythmics for 10 years Annie and Dave decided to put Eurythmics on hold and Annie began a solo career Here's a discography of Eurythmics ordered by year: 1981: In the garden 1983: Sweet dreams (are made of this) 1983: Touch 1984: For the love of big brother (1984) 1985: Be yourself tonight 1986: Revenge 1987: Savage 1989: We too are one 1991: Greatest hits 1993: Live 1999: Peace 2005: Ultimate collection Eurythmics made albums non-stop untill 1989, Annie and Dave needed a break from eachother. Annie began a solocareer and released three albums: Diva (1992), Medusa (1995) and Bare (2003). Diva entered the UK album chart at #1 and had three top ten hits ("Why", "Walking on broken glass" and "Little bird").  Medusa was released in 1995 and entered the UK album chart at #1 too. Medusa was a sort of 'tribute' album, all the songs were written by other people. In 1999 Annie and Dave were 'reunited' when received the brit award for "Outstanding contribution to music" They made an album named Peace and toured. This is the last studio album they released.  Bare was released in 2003. Annie had taken time off from writing and recording to take care of her daughters Lola and Tali. At the time it was 11 years ago when she last released an album with self-written songs. Bare became #4 in the Billboard chart. Currently (august 2006) Annie is writing and recording a new album. There is no information about the album yet. Dave also had a solocareer, sadly less succesfull as Annie's but Dave had/has many projects: Dave worked with Candi Dulfer on the "Lily Was Here" soundtrack. Candi and Dave became #1 with the song "Lily was here". Dave produced and wrote for many artists (Anastacia, Jagger, Geldof etc..). He wrote a musical called "Barbarella" which premiered in Vienna in 2004. He worked with Mick Jagger on the Alfie sountrack. Dave has a band now called Platinum Weird with Kara DioGuardi.  When Annie and Dave met up in LA (where Dave lives) in 2005 they recorded two new songs; "I've got a life" and "Was it just another love affair?". The songs were released on the Ultimate Collection album and "I've got a life" was also released as a single. They also remastered 8 of their studio albums ("For the love of big brother 1984" not because it was released under record label Virgin) and added previously unreleased songs and put it together as an collectors item. Annie and Dave have always said that they never split up as Eurythmics, the door to recording and writing together is always open. I think we can expect a new Eurythmics project in the future. |
My favorite Eurythmics songs: For the love of big brother There must be an angel (playing with my heart) Sweet Dreams (are made of this) Revival Who's that girl? Wide eyed girl A little of you Missionary man Would I lie to you? Julia Never gonna cry again I've got a life I want it all Here comes the rain again Love you like a ball and chain Sex crime Brand new day Was it just another love affair 17 again Love is a stranger It's alright (baby's coming back) Sisters are doin' it for themselves Savage When the day goes down Power to the meek Miracle of love Adrian Anything but strong I need you I need a man How long? Better to have lost in love The last time I saved the world today |
