Rob promises one or two we've never heard before.  Could be interesting.

The Motors' "Airport" is new to me and gets an HM.

The set-closing Chris Bell is a breakout to my ears.  Is he from Big Star?

That woulda been my BOS for sure -- one of the great power-pop singles of that era. A band that never got their due in the US
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Rob confirms as much.  BOS2 from me.
