ツーリストというモダン＋パワーポップ・バンド（個人的にはこっちのほうがニッチで好き。BCRの「I Only Want To Be With You」のカヴァーをやってます。）を母体として黄金の男女デュオ・ユーリズミックスは誕生し、エレポップの中では大きな成功を収めた。『スウィート・ドリームス』がやはり代表曲と言えるが、『１９８４のテーマ（セックス・クライム』がとても好きです。ツーリスト時代のポップさとアニーのソウルフルかつ芸術的なヴォーカルとディヴの巧妙なサウンドが独特の世界を作り出しています。解散後、アニーはソロとしての評価を受けたが、ディヴはプロデューサーとしての才能は認められているがソロとしての評価は低い。またディヴの奥方は元バナナラマ、シェイクスピアズ・シスターのシボーン・ファーヘイです。このところカルチャー・クラブ、ブロンディー等８０年代に活躍したグループが再結成していますが、ユーリズミックスも再結成し99年に新作を発表。

Eurythmics was born from the Modern + Power Pop band called the Tourists (I personally prefer as it's niche. They covered BCR's "I Only Want To Be With You".) the golden male/female duo and they made major success among the electro pop bands. "Sweet Dreams" is considered to be their representative song, but I personally like "Sex Crime (1984)" very much. Their unique world is created by combining Tourists' pop-ness, Annie's soulful and artistic vocal, and Dave's tactic sound. After disbanding, Annie continues to get good credit as solo, but Dave does not get the same credit while his producing skill is more regarded. Dave's wife is Siobhan Fahey, formally in Bananarama and Sheakspear's Sister.These days popular 80's groups have been reunited such as Culture Club and Blondie, and reunited Eurythmics release a new album in '99.
