The Balancing Act. Sadly overlooked when it comes to 80's nostalgia.


Continuing our survey of Christmas songs. Tonight it's another track off the IRS 1987 Just In Time For Christmas album. The Balancing Act and Green Pants And Finance.

I don't know why The Balancing Act are left out when it comes to reminiscing about the 80's. They weren't Techno, they weren't gimmicky, they weren't Metal. They turned out some pretty decent, intelligent music that was honest and not over-produced. The label may have had something to do with it (they were in the financial shits shortly after this album came out), but I suspect mainstream audience tastes may have been a bigger factor.

In any event, here they are doing their nod to Christmas.

More coming up tomorrow.
