Level 42- Best Fusion Band of All Time?

Most people would recognize the 1 or 2 BIG songs Level 42 had...and these were songs from the 80's- quite some time ago, of course. Probably the biggest hit they had was Something About You and maybe others might know their other big song Lessons In Love. You'd think that this band was truly a one or two hit wonder, and they had no other really good songs...not true. Level 42, as I have discovered thanks to Real Rhapsody (the music service), is one of the best fusion bands from the 80's and beyond...they have albums from a year or two ago, I believe. From what I can tell, they have a great many albums, and each one has a number of great songs on it.

Real Rhapsody actually only has 2 albums from the group that you can listen to- Level Best (a best of album) and World Machine.

Some of my favorite songs from the group, (from what I've been able to listen to):

  • The Chinese Way
  • Running in the Family
  • Lessons In Love
  • Something About You
  • To Be With You Again
  • Good Man in a Storm
  • I can't believe this band has been around for so long, and has had so many great songs that I've never heard until now. If you were interested in hearing any of their stuff- I'd recommend amazon.com which has all of their albums, including a number of great priced double sets- various combos of 2 of their albums combined.
