Title: More Great 80's
Review: Like most of the other volumes of this series, we get the good, the bad and the obscure. The good include Asia's "Heat of the Moment" (cheesy classic rock pop but lots of fun), Outfield's "Your Love" (ditto), and Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway" (power pop uber alles). The bad includes the smells-like-tepid-hit "Suddenly Last Summer" and the song everyone's mom really liked, "Walking on Sunshine". The obscure is saved for the last two tracks, the Other Ones' bouncy "Holiday" (fun) and trivia footnotes Bourgeois Tagg's "Mutual Surrender" (musically interesting if lyrically lame). You can put "The Warrior" into whichever category - I like to think of it as tongue-in-cheek, and then it goes down smoother. Put it in and enjoy the ride.
