Let Go- Heartbreakers
(Ever since the "Found Masters" were released a few years ago, I've played "L.A.M.F." more times than I did since 1977. If you love this record, you need the "Found Masters.")
Back 'N' Blue- Cheap Trick
(This may be too glossy for those who got off the Cheap Trick bus around "Dream Police," but I think this is big time power pop.)
With This Ring- The Platters
(What a record! One of the great beach singles of all time.)
Who You Are- Tears For Fears
(From my favorite TFF record "Everybody Loves A Happy Ending," which desperately needs a deluxe vinyl release.)
Jerusalem Tomorrow- Emmylou Harris
(Recently rated the entire Emmylou catalogue for PopSurfing, which you can read here. This reading of David Olney's song is a Top Ten Emmy track for me.)
Indian Love Call- Terry Adams
(Might as well be NRBQ. Genius take on the 1920's classic.)
Stand Down Margaret (Dub)- The English Beat
(A 3 CD set was released this summer, "Roots Rock Rebels-When Punk Met Reggae 1975-1982" and it's a doozy. Smart programming with tracks by Burning Spear, The Clash, XTC, Dennis Brown, PIL, Bad Manners, Black Uhuru, The English Beat and more. Check it out!)
