HM to Billy Squier's "In the Dark."  Would like more of him all around.  Ahem.

BOS H&O, discovering a formula and unashamedly reveling in it with "Private Eyes".

one of the most overplayed rock tracks of the '80s: "Under Pressure". Sending this one out to Vanilla Ice -- Word to ya mother!

"Life of Illusion", another one I'd be happy to see mothballed for a year or 2.

VHM Mean Joe Greene. "A Coke and a smile!"

I have been on a big Joe Walsh kick lately, so I was loving that. In particular because it resonated with me on how I keep reporting to duty at all these places where my heart just isn't into it anymore.

This was the last Steve Perry/Jonathan Cain track that I liked, but I too still like it a lot.  In fact it's the only Steve Perry vocal after "Wheel In the Sky" that I can stil get behind.

But Phil Collins, I'd still like his percussion on this song (remembering when it was novel) if it weren't A) overplayed on every format of the radio today, and B) if his vocals didn't sound like the second-most-tortured after only Michael Bolton.  And of all the songs about a which a controversy of interpretation swirls, this is by far the least deserving in my book.

Bob pulls a Morey and gives us "Jessies Girl".

It's funny -- I brought a "Great Pop Singles of the '80s" tape to the gym the other day... I made it in 1990, and it has its share of what are now Katrinas (long before I knew what a Katrina was, obviously) like Tracey U, Crowded House and K & the Waves, along with I-wish-we'd-hear-this-occasionally hits by Sly Fox and Lisa Lisa.  And "Jessies" is on it too, and divorced from the 10@10 context, everything sounded wonderful. Funny how that works.
