Ali Thomson - Live Every Minute (1980)

There's nothing too special about this song. I like the feel and the subtle Supertramp vibe of this recently discovered gem.

Styx - Snowblind (1980)

On The B Side of what Styx released as their single, Mr. Roboto....hated that song by the way. I can see why Dennis had to leave...any how...the flip side of that is a musical treasure. From the Paradise Theater album, which I had the privledge of attending a show on that tour, comes this incredible song.

Secret Affair - Live For Today (1980)

A happy little Power Pop song that is well crafted and well produced. Awee bit of bells, a little bit of sax and a lot more guitars makes this one worthy!

ABBA - Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! (A Man After Midnight) - 1979

Layered harmonies, well crafted melodies along with lyrics that envoke mental imagery and an emotional response. Yet another way to describe the incredbile music of ABBA. There are not many, if any, songs from ABBA that I don't find enjoyable. A staple in the era of music!

Eddie Money - Baby Hold On (1978)

I don't rememer exactly when I heard this but it stood out from many of the other songs in 1978. It's simplistic approach with a fully layered produced song...This is fantastic. He had a unique look at the time too. Longer hair, but not a hippie or a hard rocker, with an open knotted tie with a sport coat. I loved it and mimiced it whenwver I got a chance.

The Dead Boys - I Need Lunch (1977)

I did have a very small group of friends, three of them, that were also unaccepted in the high school cliques. I wasn't allowed to play sports, and wasn't about to smoke weed with the 'freaks'. But I did love music, and in the late 70s, our escape was Punk Rock. Mike had an extensive imported vinyl collection that opened my ears to things I would have never found on my own. I had him make me a tape of songs I liked and that tape became infamously known as "THE TAPE". My young younger brother and I LOVED that tape. We still do to this day. This song was on it.
