Number 183: The Fixx - Red Skies

I grew up in the late 70s and 80s, and the threat of nuclear war between the superpowers - the United States and the Soviet Union - was always present. Cold War nostalgia is now a thing, but back then it was no laughing matter. "Red Skies" by Cy Curnin's band The Fixx is about this ever-present menace hanging over everyone's lives at the time. The Fixx had a string of hits during the 80s, and we'll see them again before we hit #1 on this list. For now, "Red Skies" comes in at #183 on this Top 200.
