Psychedelic Furs: Beautiful Chaos

Psychedelic Furs were the ultimate post-punk band-combining the chaos and vocal rasp of the Sex Pistols with a Bowie-esque glamour. The Furs hit the big time in the U.S. when John Hughes wrote a movie based on their early single "Pretty in Pink." Poised to join U2 and Simple Minds in the premier league, they withdrew behind their shades, remaining a cult act, but one with a hugely devoted following.
