Kate Bush has a phenomenal voice and has done lots of wonderful music, but that "WANK-WONK" sound in "Running Up That Hill" is the utter epitome of awful 80s synths, and the song is terrible because of it.
Counter take: awful 80s synths are actually awesome and make everything they touched better.

I'm sorry, I'm still laughing at Wank-Wonk.

Those aren't the '80s sounds I need the most, by a lot. Instead:
People seem to rave about the comedic genius of Andrew Kaufman but the guy was mostly annoying. Christopher Lloyd was far more entertaining to watch in Taxi.
It warms my heart to see this. Kaufman felt ahead of his time in that the world of youtube pranksters hadn’t been invented yet. He’s a 70s Jake / Logan Paul.

He was a comedic genius the same way some people put literal trash in the corner of a museum and call themselves artists.
Kaufman wasn't really someone we were exposed to much in Australia. I think the first I ever heard of him was that Jim Carrey movie, and even then the only positive thing about that was the REM song (I know the REM song was written before the movie existed, but it had a resurgence thanks to the film. Or at least that's how my addled brain remembers it).
Everything I've read about him since just makes it sound like he was a total asshole.
