Wow; no one can accuse you of having a purely mainstream music collection! (I'm familiar with only three of the songs, at least by title -- and why I spotted the one from the artist who released the fewest albums of the three, I dunno! -- but hopefully it's somewhat to my credit that I've at least heard of seventeen of the artists!...)

Heh! A fitting tribute, that Duran Duran should have a song which mentions Barbarella... :-)

I think out of the lot of those, Kate Bush was the only one I would have gotten. (Oh, and the video for "Experiment IV" features a very young Hugh Laurie, for all the House fans out there.)
