Song #378: "Red Skies"--The Fixx (1982)

Just like yesterday's entry, here is another act from the 1980's that ended up snagging one spot in our Top 500 countdown.

Again, it was close, as it's hard not to jam to "One Thing Leads To Another", that's for sure. But we went with this song, the second to chart on U.S. mainstream rock surveys, and the first song I ever heard from them.

I remember distinctly the first time I recorded the song off the radio on my 8-track stereo (that's right, baby, I re-recorded over old 8-track tapes!), I caught the song in, like, late in the first verse. But I'll be glad to give you the entire version here.  :)
