Laid Back Anyone?

Postby newwavepopman » Mon May 17, 2004 5:06 pm

Here is a group who should have gone places,but only really had that one hit "White Horse" They did some other great songs like "Sunshine Reggae" Elevator Boy and Don't Be Mean,all for that smae album that "White Horse" was on.I found about a year ago in a used CD store,a used CD oif their greatest hits,and picked it up for like $6.99 and it was better than what I expected from them.

What do any of you think of Laid Back? I believe they were two guys from Denmark.

I recall "White Horse" and the video still occasionally shows up on VH1 Classic. I can't say I was ever very fond of the song though. I haven't ever heard anything else by them, so my impression maybe wrong, but I just sort of viewed them as a mediocre

I've always like their song "High Society Girl" which reminds me of Dead or Alive.

They were actually a danish band.
"White Horse" and "Sunshine Reggae" were never big hits here, unlike "Elevator Boy", my favorite one.
I remember listening the tune "Elevator Boy" many times on the radio.
