Thompson Twins combined intelligent lyrics, sparking synth-pop and a unique visual image to spawn an international hit with their 1984 album Into the Gap. For the follow-up they didn't change the formula much, but producer Alex Sadkin was out and, eventually, former Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers was in. Several factors delayed production of the album but, in the end, it was still a moderate success, although nowhere near as good as the two that came before it. https://www.patreon.com/ericwincentsen728

Foreigner was immediately popular from the start, with their 1977 album being a major hit. Things just got better until 1981's 4, which spawned a number of hit singles and hand multi-Platinum success.  When Agent Provocateur was released in late 1984 it produced a number one hit with "I Want to Know What Love Is", but failed to reach the heights of its predecessor.  https://www.patreon.com/ericwincentsen728

Achtung Baby was an even bigger hit for U2 than The Joshua Tree. With a change of sound they increased their worldwide fandom yet continued to make challenging music. During a lull in their tour they decided to make a quick EP of new material, but that soon expanded into 1992's Zooropa. While still a hit with fans and critics it would signal a turnaround in the fortunes for the Irish band.
