Number 19: Strange Advance - Perfect Day

Canadian new wavers Strange Advance reunited in 1991 to work on the Worlds Away And Back greatest hits album. They included their best-known songs, some previously-unreleased material, and one new track, "Perfect Day". I'm not sure what the song is about (A terminal illness? Suicide?), but the track is one of my favorite ballads of all time. Somehow not released as a single from Worlds Away And Back, I think "Perfect Day" might be the band's best song. It gets the #19 spot here and marks Strange Advance's third and final appearance on my Top 200.

    Now that, ladies & gentlemen, is some smoooooth synthpop right there... maybe the song was about the end of the band ... or 80s synthpop itself ?

      Hmm...good ideas. Fitting if either was true.
