Hold the Line is excellent.
So is Africa and Rosanna.
Rosanna isn't bad. Nor is Africa to be fair though it suffers from over exposure.

Though that may be for my colleagues' insistance of Smooth FM.
I flick about in the van at work and sometimes hang around on Smooth FM. Easy listening music can be good.
It can be, though they seem to recycle the same 20 songs over and over. There's only so much You're So Vain you can listen to.
Yeah, I've heard it 3 times this week along with Heartbreaker by Dionne Warwick. Still a great song though.

That's another one yeah. The only one I don't mind hearing time and time again is I Want to Know What Love Is.

You're So Vain is a monster good track, though.

Hardest of passes. Toto, Asia—please, young people, leave shitty four-letter 80s bands on the trash heap.
Hold the Line is excellent.
In that "80s Top 40 was wretched" kind of way.
I'm quite firmly in Doc's camp on this. Honestly for me about (with some exceptions) the only saving grace of the 80 was bands like Dead Kennedys, MDC, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Minor Threat etc much of what we called hardcore at that time.

Totally, and the "I bet you think this song is about you" line is pretty genius when you think about it.

great song, you can hear Mick on background vox at the end

Yeah, I like it when Jagger comes in, sneering along.

I saw them live before their first single was released they were great. Youthful punky energy with catchy songs a great cover of Little Bitch. All before Preston was on BB and their music came second to his celebrity bollocks.
