The Drive, 1/17/08: 1981

[RGMike]

True to form, Bob begins an '80s set with AOR dreck: "Hold on Loosely".

[RGMike]

VHM Stones, "Slave" -- given Bob's '80s history, this may be the best we get today.

[RGMike]

The waiting for a bustout is the hardest part...

[RGMike]

no surprise here: WOS Rush. They seem to show up in every '80s set Bob does.

[RGMike]

It says something about an '80s set when Phunky Phil's "I Missed Again" is a highlight.

[RGMike]

We've got too much album-rock fodder on our hands: WOS2 Styx.

[RGMike]

aaack! WOS3 Saga, for the 2nd time this week.

ETA: wait a minute... Dave played this in '83, Bob's playing it in '81, and Top40 db has it as '82. WTF???

[RGMike]

and we close, ever-so untastefully, with the Cars.  I'm gonna start skipping Bob's '80s sets altogether.

Ok, as usual, Wiki knows all!

In 1981, the band's 4th album Worlds Apart was released. The lead single "Wind Him Up", finally broke them into the Top 40, peaking at #22 on the Canadian Charts in January of 1982. A second single "On the Loose" also fared well, and in December of 1982, proved to be their breakthrough in America where it peaked at #26 on the Billboard Charts in March of 1983

Wow--a rare triple-year qualifier. Right up there with the Nazz.

Only other triple-qualifier I can think of is "One Tin Soldier."
