Modern English

The epitome of the one-hit wonder, Modern English jammed radio waves around the world with "I Melt With You," then malingered on by cloning their one claim to fame into a seemingly endless number of blanched, bloodless remixes. With their dreamy, Byrds-inspired melodies and dandified vocals, this is the band who wrote the theme song for all those sensitive boys and girls of the '80s for whom hairspray and eyeliner were as necessary as air and water.
