A nice improvement for this song from its performance in the Modern Rock rankdown although it wasn't quite able to match where it finished in Lost Hits of the Mid 80s 71

#85
It's more '80s Stones. The chorus isn't the worst they've done, but it's still the same old formula.
#84
While I couldn't rank it too high, this was still a decent tune from Joe Jackson. The verses drag a bit, but I like the way the chorus hits and there's some slick jazzy instrumental work. He's done better though, both in his early power pop phase and in his later jazz influenced phase.
#83
Raised on Radio is a mediocre Journey album, easily their worst with Steve Perry. However, I feel like the band managed to cherry pick the best tracks for those first few singles. The keyboards are too dominant in the mix here, as they are on most of the album, but Steve Perry sounds great on vocals and the band comes through with plenty of energy, classic Journey hooks, and solid solos. Admittedly, it is fairly formulaic, but I feel their formula still had a little life in it at this point.
#82
Despite my fairly low ranking, I don't think there's anything wrong with this Billy Joel track. It's built on a strong guitar riff and chugs along nicely despite the flat song structure; I think I may actually have under-ranked this one a bit. Honestly, the biggest demerit for this song is that while listening to this, I was constantly distracted by how similar it sounds to Graham Parker's "Local Girls," a song which I enjoy a good deal more.
#81
Paint-by-numbers Johnny Cougarcamp. He's certainly capable of writing great tracks, but so many of his lesser hits just run together for me. "Scarecrow" would have been greatly preferable.
#80
This heavily showcases Raised on Radio's dated production, which is a major reason why I ranked it lower than Be Good to Yourself. The verses are too synthy, but Steve Perry nails that chorus as only he can.
#79
It's overproduced and pretty cheesy like most of the ZZ Top tracks on this list, but the solid guitar work and the novelty value of them performing an '80s love ballad kept me entertained, so I can't dislike it.
#78
I'm not going to have any songs in the 20-30 range by the time we get to the 2nd half of this game, am I? At any rate, this Seger track was an pleasant uptempo heartland rocker; I especially love the way it builds into the chorus. It's certainly nice to hear him step away from the ballads every now and again.
#77
My lowest ranked Journey song does the best in this countdown it seems. Suzanne and Be Good To Yourself have their cheese value to be sure, but at least they're more exciting than this. It's not a bad song - there are still some hooks and solid Steve Perry moments here - but this is the sort of mid-tempo AOR plenty of other bands from this era could have done.
#76
I'll admit it's a pleasant enough pop ballad on first listen, but this gets old pretty quickly. Once you get past that hook, there's just not much here.
#75
This track really captures that vibe of things being not-great-but-still-alright, both thematically and musically. It's pleasant, breezy, and perfectly listenable, but as far as Huey Lewis goes, not exceptional.
#74
Much like "Stuck With You" this another pleasant but unexceptional '80s track, but with an overt AOR style instead of a breezy pop vibe. It's the sort of thing I'd listen to on radio but wouldn't actively seek out.
#73
I bought this album from a bargain bin a few years ago, and I can't say I was terribly impressed. The production work here is very mushy, the keyboards feel almost random, and the chorus (despite Paul Rodgers' best efforts) doesn't feel as intense as the band seems to think it does.
#72
What rowellfarm said. A perfectly fine listen, but the live element didn't add much, and I'd rather hear Tom Petty doing his own material.
#71
This is easily the best Fabulous Thunderbirds song I've heard. While that weird professionalism they have often works against the southern rock sound they're going for, it sounds fine on a more pop-leaning track like track. It's got a nice bluesy groove to it and Kim Wilson's vocals suit the style well.
