Great Songs from My Favorite Year in Music: 1985, Part 3

apb - "Something to Believe In"



(Single Release: 1985)
I must admit, I hadn't heard every single track on this list in the year it was released. Case in point: apb's "Something to Believe In." It took another 20 years for this Scottish band's brilliant music to reach my ears. It wasn't for lack of trying. I was in a prime location for college and alternative radio. I seemed to hear most other great bands from overseas, but in the time before the internet, not everything made it across. Hearing apb, it is now fairly obvious where modern bands such as Franz Ferdinand gained their influences.
