Summary: With brooding ‘80s hits like “The Ghost in You” and “Love My Way,” the Psychedelic Furs were one of the most influential British acts of the postpunk era. The band left a mark on everyone from the Killers to Tame Impala. But frontman Richard Butler says he recoiled when the Furs went mainstream via “Pretty in Pink,” the song that inspired the John Hughes film of the same name.
