This is Good Old Fashioned Rock And Roll. I can't recall when or where I heard this song, but I do remember enjoying it. This was at a time were I was musically buried with Mtv and Post Punk and New Wave, and Kiss and Queen as well as my garduation year. It's simple, melodic and full of hooks.

I always thought these guys were a little 'out of the box' and thought Fee Waybill is a little goofy. I can honestly say I never really gave them a chance, and that still holds to this day. I can say that their hits are spectacular. I recall seeing this on Mtv as well as a local band Milwaukee band called "Smart Aleck" doing a cover of this.

The playfulness and innocence of the Power Pop genre never fails. Thoughts of happier times and a carefree spirit is quite the change of pace form the real world. This is quite the rare one as it was recorded in 1980 but wasn't released until 2018. It has a flavor of XTC, as well as The Buzzcocks.

I am not a huge 'progressice' rick fan. Every once and a while I hear a song that is so well done it 'breaks' my way pf thinking. Like Electric Light Orchestra, The Alan Parsons Project uses a mixture of guitar and string, albeit synthesized, and creates masterpeices of audio pleasure.
This takes me back to the days of my older brother's good hearted friend, Larry Larry did follow what was popular, nor did he care. Hanging around with Larry was my first tatse of Styx, Rush and The Alan Parsons Project.

I first heard this song woring in a Screw Machine shop in South Milwaukee. WMSE had a weekly alternative music countdown that I would listen to religiously. That countdown opened my ears up to more of the obscure music that wasn't mainstream. It wasn't long after Mtv was made available in the area and the video blew me away. It was an artistic production that fit perfectly with the eerie and melodic track.
