I've never heard the Pretenders' "Private Life" before, so BOS for novelty alone.  Good track, too.

That is astounding -- You NEED to own this album, one of the greatest debut LPs in history.

On the liner notes it reads:  "This LP is longer than the usual LP sold these days, so to enjoy it to the fullest PLAY IT LOUD!"

Emphatic second to this. It took me a few months to pick up this album after it came out, then it didn't leave my turntable for the next six months. And Private Life, as Ginger so rightly assessed, is hypnotic. Was a real highlight of their live show, too--extremely powerful.

Wow, here's a deep album cut I'd wager hasn't seen the light of day on the local 10@10: Roxy, Over You.

And Grace Jones' cover of "PL" ain't bad either.

Is that sarcasm? 'cause Dave's played this more than a few times.

[RGMike]

But here's an actual bustout, methinks: Pat Metheny.

Well you can't argue about that being true for this Pat Metheny cut.

ETA: while I agree that Dave must have played "Over You", it isn't in the Db, so he hasn't for a long while at least.

Shockingly, Roxy's nearly sole Hot 100 hit, charting at #80.  (I think "Love Is the Drug" charted as well, will check.)

Really? No sarcasm meant, but I have no recollection of it.

ETA: It hasn't hit the Shraytabase yet, either, so that'll give you some idea of how long it's likely been since he last played it.

LITD actually broke Top 40.

You are correct: #30.  And "Dance Away" made it to #44.  But that was it.

[RGMike]

BOS3 to that Metheny, and BOS4 Bowie.

And Dance Away didn't quite hit the top 40, but didn't miss by much, hit #44.

ETA: Oops, I see Gaz arrived at that conclusion himself while I was typing.

Jeez, this cover of Gimme Some Lovin' is over-produced, with a capital O. You'd never know that was Belushi singing.

Indeed -- I don't have the aversion to the whole Blues Bros thing that some folks have, and the movie is fun if overblown. But that version of GSL is awful -- def one of the least necessary covers in history.
