Neapolitan - The Broadcast song is gorgeous. And what a lovely voice. (Edit: listened to it again and it actually made me cry. First song in this thread that did that, although Frown's Drone Bomb Me rec came close).
I'm humbled by that, I don't know what to say.

What can I say but I have varied taste and like both eventful and uneventful music. I can understand why Ladytron might not wow!!! people but there are all these little things I like Ladytron, it's hard to explain. There were a couple of songs I could have gone with, but I decided to go with the first track off their debut album. I am going out on a limb and say they named their band after a Roxy Music tune. There a few bands that do that, name themselves after a tune. Which reminds me of the next couple of songs.

It's either a coincidence ... or the Finnish band named them after a My Favorite song. My Favorite were a group that cultivated an 80s sound while other bands were Grungey. They toured Europe and were suppose to be influential there, so it's possible.

Well at first I intended only to post Revenge Of The Black Regent but I posted the wrong song. While I was editing the post I decided to keep Black Regent so you know why the Black Regent got revenge.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
