If it's Ian Gomm, then it's '79 for sure.

Another very punny album title, too: Gomm With the Wind.

I'd've never made that connection in a million years (I certainly didn't back then), but now that you mention it there is a similarity.

VHM2: Mr Ferry & his c-c-castinets.

Here's the disco, where's the Alicat?

This should be her final Monday on the job, iirc.

Is that what SH6 is today? Don't recall it from back when, but it's not sounding too bad today.

I don't remember it either; it's a Narada for me too. Dave's played it maybe one or twice but I had to Google some lyrics to pin it down.

Aack! When Cars attack!

second song with nice sax work, but I coudn't find a sax credit for Ian Gomm.  In this case it was the great jazz clarinetist Eddie Daniels on tenor sax.

There seems to be a lot of Cars bashing around here, and I just wonder what the rap is against them.  I remember a time when I had to take the MUNI a lot, and listened to them and Hall and Oates a lot on a Walkman.  Very cool headphone music as far as I was concerned.

It ain't a Monday '79 set without "I Don't Like Mondays". A Katrina, I suppose, but VHM to Sir Bob anyway.

I was being a bit facetious, but they're one of the most-played groups in the entire 10@10 oeuvre, right up there with ELO. I was bemoaning their inevitability if anything.  I wish H&O got played as much -- they had lots of hits Dave's never played.

Dave was complaining about having it being Monday "...and I'm really feeling it" in the 8 o'clock hour.

HM to The Knack and their thing for young girls. I mean, seriously- these guys were hella preoccupied.

Killer hooks, though!

An HM for me as well, with props to Burton Averre for one of the better three-note guitar solos ever.

"Good Girls Don't", "That's What the Little Girls Do", "Maybe Tonight"... the list goes on.

"My Sharona" was their only real hit, right?

They totally influenced the "look" of the decade to follow- what with dem skinny ties & all.

I don't know what qualifies as a hit, but I certainly heard GGD on the radio a whole hell of a lot!

Good Girls Don't reached #11. But the following year, the 2nd album ("But the Little Girls Understand") produced a "Sharona" soundalike (Baby Talks Dirty) that just grazed the top 40. And then-- oblivion.

I remember them having a third track that got airplay, but damned if I can recall which one it is now, even after looking at the track listing--"Frustrated" maybe? Not as big as either of the other two in any case.

Indeed. I was listening but not logged in. Not the best 79 ever.
