After the success of their debut album Shuttered Room and its charting single, "Red Skies" (#183 on this list) in 1982, Cy Curnin and The Fixx retooled and returned in 1984 with Reach the Beach, which would become their bestselling LP. The second song released from the album was "One Thing Leads To Another", and its groovy bassline and iconic video propelled the single to #4 on the US Hot 100 and a stellar #1 north of the border in Canada. Those numbers make "One Thing Leads To Another" The Fixx's biggest hit of all time in North America. I have it at #137 here.

Romantics 'Talking in your Sleep' came out right about the same time with a similarly groovy bass line ... 33 years later watch & listen to both videos and compare and contrast .... Fixx were timelessly awesome in every way including hairstyles
