Em Casalena writes about “Sweet Dreams” :
When it comes to synth pop songs from the 1980s, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” by Eurythmics is by far one of the most well-known songs of the genre. It’s been sampled and covered for decades now, but nothing quite matches the quality and danceability of the original 1983 track.
