@Scotty* Bucks It could be about just about anything. Politics, a relationship gone wrong, etc.. Depends on the person listening too it. What they take from it. The lyrics honestly don't do much for me, but the music itself, I will listen too all day long. Too each their own I guess.
Dude, the 80's decade is 40 years back now, it gives me goosebumps to think about it. Doesn't matter how far we're getting from it, my soul will always be there!
Me, I am as I'm cleaning the flood residue out of my apartment from a flash flood two days ago at Goodwell, OK. It's one of the few things that helps put a smile on my face.
@@Jerseymatt1865 I'm still mopping up mud residue on my floors. We got 11 inches of rain in four hours which isn't common for the western half of the High Plains region. The 11 inches we got in that one storm would be spread out over a year in normal times or be two years of rain in drought. My car has the windows open to dry it out. Wheat harvest barely started and it's questionable if we will have a wheat harvest which sucks because I work harvest for extra money.
Yeah, I was there too, once you've lived like that, nothing compares, my granddaughter told me when she was 13, "how did you not go crazy from sensory overload with all this great music coming out every week?"
@@ScottM-mds1hb Yes, the 80's were go good that music in the 90's took a giant leap down the cliff. Imagine, The Fixx compared to Bare Naked Ladies. Wow, the 90's was horrible. I'm sorry if I spoiled someone's day with that comparison. Wow, I remember hearing this for the first time in 1983 in my doctor's office. Good times.
At the beginnings of MTV they played some variety, and I remember DEVO, Bow Wow Wow, Public Image Ltd., the Art of Noise, Duran Duran, and Blondie, and Missing Persons were mixed in there along with pop and 80s metal, and I was GLUED to the television waiting through videos I didn’t love to be there for when a band I liked came on. I was in 1st & 2nd grade, and Lisa Lisa (Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam) and Joan Jet & Annabella Lwin were my first crushes.
Back in the day, I could only work out a simple version of that bass line. Although it was close enough to keep the correct beat in cover bands, it was only in recent years that I found tutorials for the intricate original line.
MTV was indescribable when it first came out. I feel fortunate to have lived through a time where it existed in its best form. What happened later on was ultimate BS. It was so exciting to see a new video and the thing was, videos weren't readily available like they are now due to the internet so ...I mean, I love RUclips and it's convenience but that magic can never be replicated.
Yep. Waiting all day listening to the radio for that song you wanted to come on, rushing to hit the record button on the cassette deck, the rush you felt when you finally got that song on tape so you could play it whenever you wanted... If you'd asked me then whether I would prefer having any song in history at my fingertips, I would have said yes. But now we know better.
Agreed! MTV is so horrendous that Martha Quinn, Alan Hunter and JJ Jackson must be crying. MTV = Marketing TV to sell teens stupid crap Never forgive them for Jersey Shore
You're right. The 80s were the pinnacle of popular music evolution: the 90s were good overall, but there were subtle signs of rot that are easy to see today in hindsight. And the 00s, the 10s? Don't get me started.
Rapscallion, although I'm ten years behind you; I'm right there with you. I was stationed in Landstuhl Germany when this came out. Great time to be young, wasn't it?
You guys are all referring to your own ages, since the song is not that old. Effed up band, great music. I wonder if they are all living in Saudi Arabia now and regretting life choices or if they got smart. Just as a matter of interest, cause and effect is contrary to a certain religion and yet you have this song.
Huh, not underrated at all? In 1983 I was 14, and this was one of many songs blasting in the arcade I hung out at. So many great memories of the summer of 83. This song is timeless.❤
It's more like they are underrated now, they were at the top back then with numerous hits. Now I'm surprised they aren't as famous still as some of the bands back then and they still are awesome performers.
I must be the Oldest Coot looking at You Tube videos of the Fix today... At 63, for this senior's money, this tune was ahead of it's time, & is still great lyrically & musically. 👍
+paradisecityX0 Doesn't compare to MTV when it actually showed music...DIVERSE styles of music. The 80s were a party, the 90s were about songs wallowing in depression. If you want to talk about childrens entertainment...Transformers beat the shit out of Power Rangers. Star Blazers destroyed all. Golden age of playstation?...you're ignoring the golden age of coin op arcades and the original home video game consoles. You had to live in that time to understand. 80s were the last decade of 'hometown cops' before we turned into a police state. We could basically do what we wanted as long as we weren't harming anyone. 90s blew chunks...and each decade has been declining since.
Synths were recentely invented in the late 70s and weren't integrated into music until the early 80s, so you get this whole new clash of synthetic and organic sounds coalescing together, really, for the first time in mainstream. There's modular synths, but moogs changed the dynamic immediately. You also had punk getting publicity, Michael Jackson. It was truly a time for freedom of speech and expression.
The same rules apply. Instant fame is just as it was, but now the talent bar is lower, and with it, the relevancy of that fame is far shorter. Unless you're an industry plant, of course!

@@SUGARMOMMYcrawford That's what I'm saying, though is that you probably shouldn't. I mean, just for your own good you don't even have to have consideration for anyone else.
I remember driving around in my '69 Falcon with this album blasting out of the stereo cassette deck. The sound system was worth more than the car! I was 18 years old and didn't have a care in the world. That would change in a couple of years, but hearing this song takes me back to that wonderful time!
Had a ‘68 mustang with the pioneer super tuner. House speakers in the trunk, amp sunder the passenger seat. Crazy that our old cars are now worth more than our parents paid for their houses
I was 24 and going through a divorce in 1984, ensuing relationships never lasted, but I had my MTV and I'm still listening and enjoying 50 years later.
When this song was a hit, I had a friend who owned a car stereo store. He invited me to sit in his 77 Monte Carlo, popped in the cassette, and played this song. It was the first car stereo I'd ever heard with a subwoofer. In 30 seconds I was about to throw up from the sound pressure. I've tried to recapture that feeling ever since.
Yes it does, but is actually describing pompous and lying politicians. If memory serves me correctly, the lead singer noted his dislike for world leaders and thus this song.
Every so often I need to listen to the Fixx to remind myself that the early 80's had some of the most underrated and precious music in all of history, and it was ours. Those of us who loved it are shared possessors of something brilliant and beautiful in the only wrinkle in time which it could have existed. And we get to know and remember that we lived during a time before the world went completely insane.
Started the game yesterday, finished I today I liked the 80’s music before but Flash FM is so great Vice city might not be the best, but it’s soundtrack is pure gem
The Fixx great band underrated as hell they should've gotten their place in the rock and roll hall of fame. Just on the fact their music kicks ass. You got my vote. They've earned their place as far as i'm concerned. They're still at it too. Love this song just a real tight jam from beginning to end. I never ever get sick of listening to it. I'm going to play it again.
@John Wadsworth ,More like best thing for them is to NEVER ! make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , the so called Rock n Roll hall of Fame is 90% rap and hip hop artist that place should be sued for false advertising
I was taking my 13 yr old son to baseball practice a few weeks ago and this song came on. I turned it up and he gave me that look. By the end, he was bobbing his head and feeling it. One Thing Leads to Another is a bad jam!
The Fixx is one of the most underrated bands in music history... They were a rock/new wave hybrid that kept releasing awesome music throughout the 80's and into part of the 90's.
The 80s. Hot summer nights. The unique bands. MTV videos, burning rubber in dads big Chrysler, Hormones boiling. What a decade. No decade will ever come close.
The music of the Fixx will never go out of style. This track hit the US hot 100 and peacked at 4 in September 1983. I was a toddler at the time. Now at age 41 this song is still fresh and clear. How fun.
Wow thanks for your facts flashback my friend! I do remember that and that was the beginning of my Senior year in high school. The Class of 1983! So so long ago but can remember it like it was yesterday! Miss the 80's!
I was in first grade during this time and I can still hear this music in my ear, knowing where I was, what I was going through, how the world was, it was just 'that time'... what's funny is you knew that time was special while you were living in it.
Chuck Wasson This bass line kills me. Back when music actually made you walk differently cause you were badass just for knowing it came out not to mention actually walking and listening to it. I can never decide whether this bass line, the one in Dream Into Action by Howard Jones or the one in All She Wants to Do is Dance made me feel like the coolest chick in my clique but I had a shit eating ear to ear trollface grin whenever any of the three came on, I can tell you that.
Love 80s music. All of it, we used to love rock, pop, new wave and everything in between, but mostly this type of music, The Fixx, and bands that we enjoyed a lot, danced to it and brings back incredible memories. Great music and it is timeless.
I had to come watch this because this song was playing on the radio at the local convenience store when I stopped by this evening. This was my favorite song in late 1983, though I can't really explain why. I was a 17-year-old metalhead, into Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. There's just something about this song. It has such a great groove to it. That dead-simple (but grooving) drum part, combined with a captivating bass line (although, interestingly, The Fixx didn't actually have a bass player at the time, so the part was performed by some studio cat). I liked this song enough that I bought the album (Reach the Beach), and ... I still love that album. It really was a good album.
+Rik Spanks Geez, now I need to buy the album from the iTunes Store. I owned the album on vinyl, but it was stolen (along with the rest of my vinyl) when my storage unit got jacked a couple years ago, but in any case I hadn't listened to it in years because I hadn't owned a turntable in years.
+Rik Spanks Okay, I have to correct my statement about this bass line being performed by a studio musician. I remember reading the credits on the album liner and seeing more than one bassist listed, so I must have assumed "studio musicians". It turns out that the bassist who played on this song, (and on "Saved by Zero"), Alfie Agius, quit the band during the recording of the album, and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. My bad.
Me and my friends have a agreement that if ANY song from GTA Vice City comes on the radio you MUST listen to the entire song no matter where you are and it has to be FULL VOLUME LOL. Ilove it!
So my story is this. I always loved the Fixx Since "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies". In 1984, before I graduated High School, I had broken my hand during batting practice against a guy pitching 85 MPH (which was fast back then). But the Merchant Marine Academy didn't have "metal surgery" as a disqualification. Now, 40 years later, I got to see this band that NEVER LOST A BEAT. I'm so proud of the band. And I retired early after making my fortune. I hope to see them maybe one more time again.
So did I , But my music was the 70s ! I loved Aerosmith, Grand Funk, The Rolling Stones and Foreigner. the 80s was the beginning of Punk and Rap, Boy bands and Spanish girls. Spare me.
Ive watched this video millioms of times since the 80s. Im just realizing now in 2024 how dirty it is. We were more open minded in the past. What happened? How did we get so stuffy????
I have to admit the only thing the compares to MTV, in its' early days, is RUclips.Where else can you check out a great song with a great video with a million friends ?
A question for the ages, "why don't they do what they say, say what they mean?" Years now, scratching my head as I witness the world further descending into absolute absurd madness and that line has played in my mind.
EN EL 83..LA ESCUCHÉ POR PRIMERA VER Y FUE UN FLECHAZO DIRECTO A MIS SENTIDOS...PARA LUEGO ENTENDER QUE SERÍA UN ETERNO RECUERDO MUSICAL..DE LOS MEJORES

Yes and actually played good music.
That part. I was on summer vacation when I discovered MTV. Just VJs playing rock videos. Good times.
So what the hell happened?
Too bad they were all recorded on tape instead of film now we'll NEVER get hi-res versions of them. :(
Yeah, not the stupid sh*t shows they play now.

Don't expose your ignorance like that, much better to keep quiet and not be seen as a fool, or just the lazy music fan you are.
What is Radio?
Right! Metal, Madonna, Huey Lewis and the Fixx!

early 80s certainly
They sure did. They dont make it like they used to. And that goes for anything they made in the golden ages.
1983 was the best year as well, followed by 1982 and 1984.
VERY PROFOUND
"This is the set? This...tunnel."
"Yeah."
"...fuck it. Let's make it work."
They had a ladder too!TheKingOfRuckus
***** Is that right? I saw Cy in my dream in that outfit this year in May. I'm serious!
***** You did? That's interesting.
lmfao that was funny
+OkamsRazer wowzers! what a bunch of penny pinchers. oh well, I actually think the tunnel works a bit lol. amazing song too nonetheless.
I was 24 and going through a divorce in 1984, ensuing relationships never lasted, but I had my MTV and I'm still listening and enjoying 50 years later.
Who is still listening to this awesome song in 2024? 💥💥💥💥💥 😇
me 2
😎☝️😉😎

Yeah getting my Fixx 🤘

When this song was a hit, I had a friend who owned a car stereo store. He invited me to sit in his 77 Monte Carlo, popped in the cassette, and played this song. It was the first car stereo I'd ever heard with a subwoofer. In 30 seconds I was about to throw up from the sound pressure. I've tried to recapture that feeling ever since.
Exactly. This song taught me to JAM!
😂
I will NOT act like I'm not impressed!😎
Love this
🤣😂🤣
Cy Curnin - vocals
Rupert Greenall - keyboards
Jamie West-Oram - guitar
Adam Woods - percussion, drums
Alfie Agius - bass
You forgot me on the Triangle!
Love the bass line.❤ This song describes narcissism.
Possible.It could describe other things too.
Yes it does, but is actually describing pompous and lying politicians. If memory serves me correctly, the lead singer noted his dislike for world leaders and thus this song.
I was thinking cocaine use
The Dobermans with natural uncropped ears are beautiful. ❤️
I think its absolutely EFFING cruel to crop their ears to make them look more fierce. They are beautiful way they are. Smart animals
Every so often I need to listen to the Fixx to remind myself that the early 80's had some of the most underrated and precious music in all of history, and it was ours. Those of us who loved it are shared possessors of something brilliant and beautiful in the only wrinkle in time which it could have existed. And we get to know and remember that we lived during a time before the world went completely insane.
I LOVE this post it's so true the youth of today will never know what fun was and for us the music keeps us young and alive
It was a decade like no other. The 90's were special but lacked what the 80's had. It felt free, not like the insanity today.
Absolutely agree! 🎶
Beautiful, I couldn’t say it any better than David Barr.
Rub it in, why don't ya?
I'm so glad I grew up in the 1980s. That decade will never be duplicated. Best years of my life.
Never ever it’s sad
So true!!
60s 70s 80s incredible years. All have their own identity. That will never be duplicated.
Saw The Fixx open for the Police back in the day. Awesome show.
two of the best bands
Dude, I just saw them 3 months ago at the pedulo in Derry NH.
All original band. A small venue but a great show.
THE FIXX. Such an underrated band. U2 Stole their thunder Cy Curnin has awesome range and voice. Saw then in 1986 Los Angeles, CA!!!!😅
GTA Vice City. Ah, the memories man.
Started the game yesterday, finished I today
I liked the 80’s music before but Flash FM is so great
Vice city might not be the best, but it’s soundtrack is pure gem
Tell me my sister and I hung out with 3 detectives for years
I cantlie, this game introduced me to this song. This song is the story of my life.
I totally forgot this song was in that game lol 😂
1983...actually being there when this was fresh and new, and there was nothing else like it. Oh the memories.
The Fixx great band underrated as hell they should've gotten their place in the rock and roll hall of fame. Just on the fact their music kicks ass. You got my vote. They've earned their place as far as i'm concerned. They're still at it too. Love this song just a real tight jam from beginning to end. I never ever get sick of listening to it. I'm going to play it again.
I saw them three times!
@John Wadsworth ,More like best thing for them is to NEVER ! make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , the so called Rock n Roll hall of Fame is 90% rap and hip hop artist that place should be sued for false advertising
Agree. Stand out band have Pandora station. Stand or fall full version is great
John Wadsworth I agree with youb 100%."WAY"underrated.One of my favorites.
Deeper and Deeper plays in the end crisis for Caddyshack. My favorite by them!
Back in the day when MTV was music videos baby.👍🇺🇸
I want my MTV (back)!
The high point of the 80s was The Fixx opening up for The Police on their Synchronicity tour. It doesn't get much better than that.
I was taking my 13 yr old son to baseball practice a few weeks ago and this song came on. I turned it up and he gave me that look. By the end, he was bobbing his head and feeling it. One Thing Leads to Another is a bad jam!
You are a great cool dad, tell him i said so
This song is funky as siht!
The bass totally carries this song! One hell of a song!
The Fixx is one of the most underrated bands in music history... They were a rock/new wave hybrid that kept releasing awesome music throughout the 80's and into part of the 90's.
They are still around now and touring, with all original members and have a new album out. Saw them on 11/13, fucking excellent show.
The 80s. Hot summer nights. The unique bands. MTV videos, burning rubber in dads big Chrysler, Hormones boiling. What a decade. No decade will ever come close.
cruising mall parking lots was our trophy of generations.
Coming home late and not wanting to wash your face and hands........😊
Dam that bass player is a beast!
The Fixx, The Outfield, The Escape Club.
Three brilliant British 80s bands foolishly ignored by their home country.
+Obvious Bicycle Don't forget the Missing Persons and Flock of Seagulls.
I wish The Escape Club hadn't escaped Britain.
@@rommix0 Flock of seagulls was from Australia I thought.
Missing Persons is an American Band Mate.
Yes
2024. Jamming to this at 4 am to get my day started. Good stuff. 🔥
My mother used to think this song was entitled "One Hand Washes The Other." True story!
Him: what's that new song...I Reap, I Reap, I Sow?"
Her: "umm.. you mean Are We, Are We, Our Selves'"
Him" < (%*^^*@ > "Yeah! That's the one."
I listened to this tape until it snapped.
Most kids don't know what u mean by that!!!lol
Did you rewind it with a pencil?
We had a tape splicer kit, from Radio Shack! Fixx-a-Fixx, no problem!
they had those? i used to cut down a piece of scotch tape and fasten it to the back of the two torn parts....
oh yeah!
Remember watching this stuff for hours on MTV? Being a teen in the 80s was peak awesomeness.
This bass line for this song is addictive. As good as any rap or R&B bass groove I've ever heard. If you can't cut a rug to this you just can't dance.
Exactly 💯. The baseline is so great it imo helped with the songs longevity.
Rap steals other bands riff tracks, r and b is ok.
@@Workerbee-zy5nx70s, 80s and 90s R& B is sampled more than any other genre. Truth…
Their #4 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1983
after all these years, this song still kicks ass !
The music of the Fixx will never go out of style. This track hit the US hot 100 and peacked at 4 in September 1983. I was a toddler at the time. Now at age 41 this song is still fresh and clear. How fun.
Wow thanks for your facts flashback my friend! I do remember that and that was the beginning of my Senior year in high school. The Class of 1983! So so long ago but can remember it like it was yesterday! Miss the 80's!
I was in first grade during this time and I can still hear this music in my ear, knowing where I was, what I was going through, how the world was, it was just 'that time'... what's funny is you knew that time was special while you were living in it.
Imagine beng so good a band that one of your songs gets into Miami Vice and another into GTA Vice City. These guys have made it.
MTV, Wow im 60, Remember this song just like yesterday. Damn the years fly by .
Vice City, FLASH FM .. Memories :/
yes!!
vice city was a really good game
No Shit. .
Even GTA 5
I just beat it and posting the ending soon. (If interest ya know....;)
That funky guitar riff is awesome & one of the most memorable riffs of all time.
Tobias Chance Bass line is cool too.
Chuck Wasson This bass line kills me. Back when music actually made you walk differently cause you were badass just for knowing it came out not to mention actually walking and listening to it. I can never decide whether this bass line, the one in Dream Into Action by Howard Jones or the one in All She Wants to Do is Dance made me feel like the coolest chick in my clique but I had a shit eating ear to ear trollface grin whenever any of the three came on, I can tell you that.
Tobias Chance Honestly this is the shit.. back when puberty and now in middle agedom
Tobias Chance listen to blind eye by hunters and collectors!
pudzta Ok, i'll check it out. Thanks.
Thank God that we had MTV 2024 and still a jam ❤
Love 80s music. All of it, we used to love rock, pop, new wave and everything in between, but mostly this type of music, The Fixx, and bands that we enjoyed a lot, danced to it and brings back incredible memories. Great music and it is timeless.
Agree 100%
Mainstream music today is crap compared to the 70"s & 80's
When mainstream radio was still good...
I had to come watch this because this song was playing on the radio at the local convenience store when I stopped by this evening. This was my favorite song in late 1983, though I can't really explain why. I was a 17-year-old metalhead, into Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. There's just something about this song. It has such a great groove to it. That dead-simple (but grooving) drum part, combined with a captivating bass line (although, interestingly, The Fixx didn't actually have a bass player at the time, so the part was performed by some studio cat). I liked this song enough that I bought the album (Reach the Beach), and ... I still love that album. It really was a good album.
+Rik Spanks Geez, now I need to buy the album from the iTunes Store. I owned the album on vinyl, but it was stolen (along with the rest of my vinyl) when my storage unit got jacked a couple years ago, but in any case I hadn't listened to it in years because I hadn't owned a turntable in years.
+Rik Spanks Okay, I have to correct my statement about this bass line being performed by a studio musician. I remember reading the credits on the album liner and seeing more than one bassist listed, so I must have assumed "studio musicians". It turns out that the bassist who played on this song, (and on "Saved by Zero"), Alfie Agius, quit the band during the recording of the album, and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. My bad.
Album? What's an album?? ;)
A CD is still an album.
Heh, yeah, INXS is another band that we headbangers shouldn't have liked, but again, there was just something ...
GTA vice city kept all the 80s sounds alive for millennials like me.
💯💯💫
50 years later...still here..
It's incredible when a band releases a song(s) that could be released 40 years later and still be a hit. Where has all this creativity gone????
Yea it could, i think that's why so many great older songs get covered
It's coming back. But not yet.
@@jefferyrichardson1348 I hope so.
@@ElDOCTOR21 me too my brother from another mother 😊
No creativity or sound these days, no talent either.
Me and my friends have a agreement that if ANY song from GTA Vice City comes on the radio you MUST listen to the entire song no matter where you are and it has to be FULL VOLUME LOL. Ilove it!
So my story is this. I always loved the Fixx Since "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies". In 1984, before I graduated High School, I had broken my hand during batting practice against a guy pitching 85 MPH (which was fast back then). But the Merchant Marine Academy didn't have "metal surgery" as a disqualification. Now, 40 years later, I got to see this band that NEVER LOST A BEAT. I'm so proud of the band. And I retired early after making my fortune. I hope to see them maybe one more time again.
Still one of my favorite songs from the 80s
Hi I recommend checking out an indie pop/rock song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix who actually looks like Cy Curnin
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Love this song. This was on heavy rotation on MTV.
Lee
Nathan B now look at them yo yo’s, that’s the way you do it
OMG!!!! Why don’t they do what the say... say what they mean... one things leads to another!!! ❤️my 80s
thats what pisses me off when they don't say what they mean or do what they say. 1-5-21
Yes !!
The 80s was the best time for music!!!
Yes I agree with you, the 80’s music was so crystal clear sounding! Beautiful!!!!
I am total Metalhead but loved the guitar player in this band. Such good work. This band was always one of my guilty pleasures LOL.
Good old analog video.
Smooth motion, no pixelization, no colour blocking, no jaggies.
More, please!
80s MTV was the best. God I miss it...........
I turned 18 in 1980. What an awesome decade to be a young man!!!
I was 15. It was a good time. Just remember "You never know what you had until it's gone forever."
So did I , But my music was the 70s ! I loved Aerosmith, Grand Funk, The Rolling Stones and Foreigner. the 80s was the beginning of Punk and Rap, Boy bands and Spanish girls. Spare me.
I was 18 in '81. It was a great time to be alive.
Ive watched this video millioms of times since the 80s. Im just realizing now in 2024 how dirty it is. We were more open minded in the past. What happened? How did we get so stuffy????
Saw them live seven years ago at a summer concert series in Los Angeles. They still sound cutting edge, clean, funky rifts and synth. Still great.
John White
Really? I'm green with envy
@@prettygalprettycool5113 clever
@@johnwhite2412 wonder how old the fixx members are by now?
@@prettygalprettycool5113 Mr Curnin still sounded big. I was too far away to tell if he was chugging Ensure between songs.
@@johnwhite2412 lol he probably drank it backstage while everyone else was indulging in illicit drugs and premarital sex.
I remember watching this video on MTV, still one of my favorite videos of all time.
Thokozile Xaba Damn your hot..
I have to admit the only thing the compares to MTV, in its' early days, is RUclips.Where else can you check out a great song with a great video with a million friends ?
40 Years Ago. I bought the Album Reach the Beach. Great 😃👍 Memories from the Summer of 1983.
A question for the ages, "why don't they do what they say, say what they mean?" Years now, scratching my head as I witness the world further descending into absolute absurd madness and that line has played in my mind.
BOOM
Amen! I couldnt of said it better. Thats all it is demented insanity
One of the most underrated groups ever!
This 80's band had a unique sound to move and groove to. Bring back the 80's.
EN EL 83..LA ESCUCHÉ POR PRIMERA VER Y FUE UN FLECHAZO DIRECTO A MIS SENTIDOS...PARA LUEGO ENTENDER QUE SERÍA UN ETERNO RECUERDO MUSICAL..DE LOS MEJORES
70's & 80's music can never be beaten! Just Awesome! Some 90's is ok!
