BOS Mr Stills' "Change Partners", probably the closest we'll get to a rarity in this set.

The Drive's trip to '84 promised to be predictable, but I'm enjoying Foreigner's "That Was Yesterday."  There were quite a few strong tracks on the Agent Provocateur album.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

OMG!  Major BOS to HoJo's "What Is Love?," definitely in my Top 10 for the decade.  "And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be."

remastered Rocks Off is welcome, but I'll Take You There by the Staple Singers and Bang a Gong (Get It On) are a little tired.
