@HighRiseChateau In my last novel The King of The Woods, there are no less than 20 pages about Eurythmics. The novel is set in New York during the 80s. Kevin (the narrator and protagonist states how he prefers Dave on synthesizer rather than guitar. Kevin is angry when he sees Eurythmics perform Sweet Dreams with Dave on the guitar. Kevin wanted to see Dave playing Synths. Later in 1990, he is dismayed seeing Martin Gore from Depeche Mode play I Want You Now on guitar rather than on synthesizer.

@HighRiseChateau You are correct! Without Dave, Eurythmics would have never gotten off the ground musically. His production gave the Eurythmics their DISTINCT sound that was never and is frankly unable to be copied. I'm also an electronic musician and producer. It was Dave Stewart who was the single biggest influence on me to become a synthesizer player and musician. Funny because Dave later on became to be known more for his guitar work. I've always preferred the techno-pop Eurythmics.

Whilst most people associate Eurythmics with Lennox, I personally associate it more to Dave. Being a synth player myself, I believe his synthwork was somewhat revolutionary and that he is one of the most underrated synth players in history. This tends to happen in duo bands. The singer gets the entire spotlight. To a lesser extent, this also happened to Dave Ball, the keyboardist from Soft Cell.

I love the polemic of comments here: Lennox fans love it, Hayes fans hate it. I see a band covering a song they like to try and establish their identity. This was 82, their prior release was bit of neo-psychedelic new wave, and they then turned to experimental electronic music in their home studio. Put that together and by 83 the sweet dreams of success would come true.
