[Aztec Camera - Walk Out to Winter](https://youtu.be/kE3lTlPwykE). Has a really intriguing chord progression and pushes that 80s New Wave chorus-y rhythm guitar to redline speed. Supposedly this song motivated Johnny Marr of the Smiths to write “This Charming Man” because they needed an upbeat major-key song to compete with this one. (The two bands were on the same record label.) ---
