Are you familiar with the Steve Winwood song "The Finer Things"? Boy is it good. I first discovered this song in high school when I used to check out CDs from the old Neenah Public Library. I got "Back In The High Life" because I knew the hits such as "Higher Love", and the title track but when I came across this song that I heard many times before, something about it was just perfect. Is it the quiet unassuming keyboard intro? The sweet bridge? The catchy chorus? or the rad synth solo in the end? Regardless, it's totally 80s in every sense. I think the only really instrument on the entire song is the drums. I especially love synth bass. I downloaded this song on iTunes and I forsee adding this song to a lot of a mixes coming up. Perhaps I'll put it on the "Rewsta Flo Jamz" CD I'm making Amber.
Check it out:
Cheesy video, great song.
Speaking of great songs with cheesy videos...
Stupid, stupid video. Ringo ruins everything. And Tom Petty is not a good looking person.

Steve Winwood is awesome, you have to respect a guy who says to himself, "You know what, this synth is pretty cheesy, but to hell with it, I'm putting it in."
Also, Steve Winwood has more hits than you think he does. WAY more.
Man, Steve Winwood! He's great. I heard "While You See a Chance" a few weeks ago on the radio, that's one of my favorites. He's got a really solid catalog, both solo and with various groups.
