They also played some great power pop that barely got played anywhere else, including this gem from The Beat. The Beat Don't Wait Up For Me The Beat 1979 KWK played more than Journey, Rush and Styx. The Babys Back On My Feet Again Union Jacks 1980 Produced by Keith Olsen, this song has the Babys at their best… ready to rock, even when John Waite sings about being lonely.īad Company Crazy Circles Desolation Angels 1979 How stoked was I during the summer of '79 when I bought the 45 Rock & Roll Fantasy and Crazy Circles was its B-Side? This song continued to get strong airplay during KWK's prime years. This is one of better ones I don't hear much today. The Babys Everytime I Think Of You Head First 1978 The Babys had some good songs that started as a ballad but built up to a rockin' song. Here they really sounded like a Southern Rock band. This is the rocking song that kicks off the album that makes people go 'Oh Yeah' when they hear it again.Ītlanta Rhythm Section Homesick Quinella 1981 When I first heard this I found it hard to believe it was the same band I knew for 'So Into You' and 'Imaginary Lovers'.
It's an injustice only 'Just Between You And Me' from this album gets airplay today.Īpril Wine All Over Town Nature of the Beast 1981 Unlike Sign of the Gypsy Queen, many people have a tough time remembering this song by its somewhat generic title. This was an example of a band that had paid its dues and finally hit it big. It's one that always gets me fired up.Īpril Wine Sign Of The Gypsy Queen Nature of the Beast 1981 1981 was a great year for album rock. It's never on any of the compilation CDs and still isn't cited by critics as a better song on the album. I get bummed when guys like him trade this in for a more adult contemporary sound.Īpril Wine Oowatanite Stand Back 1975 What's that April Wine song that starts with the train bells?Īpril Wine Shot Down The Whole World's Goin' Crazy 1976 I can't believe this wasn't a hit outside of St. (Thanks Mark G.)īryan Adams Take Me Back Cuts Like A Knife 1983 Bryan Adams' first couple of albums had a good number of songs that rocked. I'm glad it's not overplayed today.īryan Adams Lonely Nights You Want It - You Got It 1981 Although Adams was trying to find his sound on a few tracks I thought this album had at least four great songs worthy of being a strong follow-up to this debut. AC/DC Let's Get It Up For Those About To Rock We Salute You 1981 A huge song from a huge album.
