Posted By scott4261 2 months, 3 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" (or simply "Sweet Dreams") is a song by pop music duo Eurythmics, David A. Stewart and Annie Lennox. It was released as a single and was the title track of their album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). It is notable as the song which provided the group with their breakthrough into commercial success. Its striking music video helped to propel the song to number two on the UK singles chart, and number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. It was the fourth single released from the Sweet Dreams album in the UK and the first single released by Eurythmics in the United States.

It's hard to believe that this was #1 26 years ago! OMG, I feel so old! I can remember when I first heard this song my first thought was that is was so soulful and simultaneously modern...

Dave Stewart is one of the most overlooked guitarists and songwriters... just his collaborations and his resume make that obvious. Truly seminal.

He also designed a diamond-studded, stainless-steel sex toy.
"Heart of Stone" is a great guitar song. -

The best concert I ever saw was in a little theater in Canton, MI one snowy January night in 1979. The band was The Tourists with Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart. I think there were about 35 people in the audience. They played for 3 hours- their own songs then Beatles and Stones covers while we all danced. I love Annie's voice and Dave is a master guitar player!
