What Is Hip?

Tell me, baby, if you think you know…

Various artists pick their “Music You Should Hear” lists for Amazon.com. Donny Osmond, Tears For Fears fan. Andy from Erasure’s paen to Kirsty MacColl.

Other artists with lists include Tegan and Sara, Morcheeba, Kimberley Rew and Tears For Fears themselves.
