"You wanna torture her
You wanna talk to her"

BOS2 "Pump it Up", making the rest of this set look like even more of an AOR crapfest than it is.

ironic that this LP was called Life Beyond LA when it finds them totally embracing their LA-ness.

Cars - Just What I Needed 
Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island 
Journey - Feeling That Way/Anytime 
Ambrosia - How Much I Feel 
Boston - Don't Look Back 
Steely Dan - FM 
Elvis Costello - Pump It Up 
Babys - Head First 
Rolling Stones - Miss You 
Heart - Dog & Butterfly

Yep, I believe you're right. Ferguson was Joe's keyboardist for awhile in the mid-late 70s; iirc he plays on You Can't Argue With a Sick Mind.
Let's get right to it.
