Robert Palmer R.I.P.

Horribilis of rock? Palmer will likely be remembered more because of his classy suits and trendsetting videos during the eighties (which did contribute to some pre-puberal fantasies of mine) than of his music, whether justified or not. I did like his Power Station stuff though - and after a decade of denial (see also Duran Duran, Wham!, Depeche Mode,...), I'm quite willing to openly admit this.
