Lex's 365 Forgotten Retro Songs for 2010

[G-Lexington]

Someone suggested I do this thread at the start of the year - post an old retro song each day for an entire year - and I thought it'd be a good idea.

Then I forgot about it. Which is why I'm starting late. Well, I'll post a couple each day until I'm caught up.

Day 1 - "Cavern" - Liquid Liquid

Day 2 - "Hit the Floor" - Earth Quake

Can I help you out? What are the parameters?

Day 3 - "Moody" - ESG

[G-Lexington]

None, I guess. Other than they should be from "retro time" - which for me is 1976 - 1992 or so. Don't lap the current day, though. ESG rocks!

Day 4 - "Field Work" - Ryuichi Sakamoto/Thomas Dolby

So this is what people listen to when they don't listen to mainstream...

You know your a mess when you only listen to music that is over produced lmao.. Only thing missing in these joints.

I always wondered why this song wasn't a bigger hit. Now I know - they put an annoying mime in their video.
