yay!  Bonnie Pointer's cover of "Heaven Must've Sent You" -- I still have this 45; this (disco) version is on one side, the flip is a note-for-note rendition of the Elgins' original.

Words you'll almo0st never hear me say: WOS Jefferson Starship.  "Rock Music" is just ham-handed and ridiculous.

Agreed.  You can totally see "We Built This City" lurking in the back of this song.

BOS to little-played ELO, "Shine a Little Light."  This is in Xanadu, right?

OMGWTF! BOS3 ELO, "Shine a Little Love", their disco-y-est confection and one of the few tracks of theirs that Dave rarely plays.

It's on Discovery, another one of the few albums my brother had like the aforementioned London Town.

Those sound effects would resurface two years later in Space Invaders.

BOS2, "Up the Junction," a former Dave fave from the late '90s that I doubt he's played in the past 2-3 years.  One of those rare story-songs that has no chorus whatsoever.
