Back to the Eighties: Crash


Original video located here. Accessed 7th January 2023

Song title: Crash

Artist: Primitives

Year: 1988

Why I like this song:

This song is further evidence to my hypotheses that the music of the late eighties was already providing signposts to what was going to happen in the following decade. In fact, if you played this to someone who hadn't heard it before they would think that it was a nineties song. But no: It's a still an eighties song.

It would be easy to consign this song to the bin of One Hit Wonders but what a song! It's pop perfection with a brief run time, snappy guitars and a singalong chorus. Lightening in a Bottle? One would think so

And to think I would never have heard of it if I didn't purchase Lego Rock Band XD
