Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 2:46 is brilliant! It's as if the song takes off into another realm. Shame they didn't do anything near as successful as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, the hits (with the exception of Eternal Flame) do not represent their best work. Take their 1984 album All Over The Place for instance. Strong stuff on there. Everything is a strong album. too, imo. And you guys know my feelings on Michael Steele's bass work. Ii2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 She had a unique touch and tone. She really honed her craft, and played the bass a bit differently from most players (preferring playing on different frets). Its buried under the typical 80s production more often than not, but when you listen close you hear some interesting harmonic creativity, and a strong sense of functional melody. Her lines are self contained, yet support their songs very well. Ii2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Welcome Home by Til Tuesday. This album suffers a bit from questionable production, but Aimee Mann's songwriting is on point. A couple of tracks have really effective choruses. "Coming Up Close" does not suffer from any weaknesses, though. This song here is not only an album highlight, but an 80s highlight. Leagues better than Voices Carry. Needs wider recognition. Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty Killer album overall. You really can't go wrong with "Free Fallin'"," Runnin' Down a Dream" and "I Won't Back Down". True classics. The only real weakness is that side two lacks anything of this caliber, though still bristling with some fine songwriting. Including "Waiting For Tonight," (which featured The Bangles) would have really taken things to that next level, and Petty apparently regretted not doing so.

If the Beatles really did get back together they would do something rather more original than this. Not too bad nevertheless. More a Canadian Supertramp than a Canadian Beatles.
