Talk Talk - It's My Life (1984)
I only hear the Gwen Stefani version on the radio, and I think she is a genuine musical talent, I think the original is better imo, shame Mark Hollis is not with us anymore.

This is a classic, love Mark Hollis so much but particularly partial to the jazzy, experimental fragile proto-post-rock soundscapes that came on the Talk Talk or solo albums that followed.
A lot of 80s music one can boil down to a DX-7 synth and a certain drum computer with gated reverb. His sound is timeless.
RIP, Mark Hollis.
No Doubt also felt it was a great song, so much that their cover actually syncs well with the original. The sound is different, but it's essentially the same.
