I suspect this 1984 will not be doubleplusgood.
-
Pretenders, TOTHC and BOS1: "My City Was Gone".
-
uh-oh, it's 'trin-agic. And that's a cold shot, babe.
-
dunno if gaz is listening but here's his WOS: Henley, "All She Wants to Do..." VHM from me for the politics alone.
-
eek! Bryan Adams "Run To You". I'm gonna run to 'BCO if Bob keeps this up.
-
I'm gonna give a BOS to "Against All Odds" just because Bob had the cojones to play it in its entirety. Still a somewhat guilty pleasure of mine.

Yikes, you're wearing contrarianpants today. It woulda been great if they'd had the cojones to have Barry Manilow sing it -- mighta been his career peak. Collins-as-Manilow is the worst of both worlds.

BOS2 T.Heads , live "Burning Down the House", VHM David's big white suit..
-
BOS2 to "I'll Wait," VH's most adult songwriting, and a forgotten gem from the 1984 album.

I feel like this is hindsight talking. I for one didn't think of Collins as a pesky cheezball at the time AAO came out. (But yeah, Barry's take would have been smashing.)

I said the first time I heard it in '84 that "this is a Manilow record without Manilow". No, Collins wasn't yet reviled, but the hypocrisy of album rock stations playing a drippy, Manilow-esque ballad they would've otherwise ridiculed, simply because it was Collins, really stuck in my craw, then and now.
BOS3 VH; VHM Brooce, only because I heard it twice yesterday.

This is *precisely* the moment that Collins lost me & I began to think of him as a "pesky cheezball" (nice turn of phrase).

Having been a Genesis fan in the latter 70s, my realization of his cheezier side came with his second solo album and the cover of You Can't Hurry Love. Much as I wanted to continue my devotion to all things Genesis-related, I just couldn't buy into this bit of cheeze. Still, for some reason, I didn't mind AAO that much--certainly it fell into the Guilty Pleasure category, but the melody really sucked me in, I guess.
