The Fixx

Continuing the the 80's thing, here's an album from the British New Wave outfit, The Fixx. This is probably the high point in their career. This album is actually a really good listen though the style is definitely a product of its time: it screams 1984.

Two particular songs stand out. First, the ubiquitous One Thing Leads to Another. If you don't know this song, you obviously are either over 70 or under 5. It was their biggest hit and is played frequently on 80's channels and other 80's, 90's and today stations. Second, the song Saved by Zero. This song was not a big hit back in 1983. But it was resurrected last year by Toyota for their annoying ads. Don't believe me? Watch this!

Yeah.... I let it go in the background and after a minute I was going to throw my laptop off the balcony! But The Fixx did it much better.
