Would love to hear from this year, but probably won't: Power Station, "Communication"
Interesting choice. My brother had the Power Station cassette, and I remember that one. My favorite from them, though, was their cover of "Harvest for the World," which I haven't heard since '85.
Drummers like Slade astonish me, the way they can learn so many bands' catalogues. I mentioned this to Prairie Prince years ago after a Jefferson Whatever concert he'd played with Kantner et al.: That's an amazingly vast amount of material to absorb. I'm ever in awe.
