3.  You and Me and the Moon

Erasure - My Top 10 pt 1

I was challenged by a friend from RYM to create a Top 10 favorite songs list for Erasure.  It was a little challenging but ultimately very fun!  In honor of this challenge (and two subsequent challenges he gave me), I have decided my NEW weekend series will be "My Top 10" songs from some of my all-time favorite artists. 
Erasure is a special band in my life and while they haven't produced such great albums lately, there is a lot of brilliance in their early/mid catalog. 

Here is the first half of My Top 10 Erasure songs!

1.  Fingers and Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)



2.  A Long Goodbye



3.  I Love Saturday



4.  Breath of Life



5.  Love to Hate You
