Forgotten Pop Gems of the 1980s | 2.0

[Oreb]

A couple of Phil Collins productions:

[Rarebird]

Another one from the debute of Mo, with a bassoon-solo

And I finally found it on CD, in a box, together with their second album, which only has the drummer from the original line-up.

Didn't producer Bob Rock play in that band?

Yes, he was! In fact, near the end of the band's existence, they were renamed "Rock and Hyde," possibly a play on the phrase "run and hide."

Dan Hill - Carmelia:



One of his most underrated songs.

Glass Tiger - Diamond Sun



A collaboration between the band and Jim Vallance.

[WeatherWiseCDC]

Chilliwack - I Believe



Chilliwack - Whatcha Gonna Do



Strange Advance - We Run

[WeatherWiseCDC]

Eight Seconds - Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)



Another great tune, this one called "She's So Young" by The Pursuit of Happiness. The album was produced by Todd Rundgren.

A couple from Gowan, conveniently uploaded from my channel:





The Parachute Club.

[WeatherWiseCDC]

Spoons.





This is actually rock, but I'll post it here anyway. This is "Teenland" by Northern Pikes.

[WeatherWiseCDC]

Doug and the Slugs - Day By Day.



Kim Mitchell - Easy To Tame

[Rand Kelly]

Eight Seconds - Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)



Another great tune, this one called "She's So Young" by The Pursuit of Happiness. The album was produced by Todd Rundgren.

I have a cd by Eight Seconds-Almacanter. There's a killer instrumental on there which was the main reason I kept it.

this one is still on yt – i have always liked that song (the guitar-led coda with the rocksteady crash cymbals always reminds me of 1980s RUSH). but it’s scary to think that IQ wouldn’t have stuck out at all among all these faceless late80s contemporaries of the day (think curiosity killed the cat, johnny hates jazz, wet wet wet and the like ... and shudder). still, a great song and “nomzamo” remains one of my fave IQ albums. yell at me now.

Never heard this IQ CD, but I did listen to a few songs from it on YouTube. I have(and like) Are You Sitting Comfortably.

Manzanera and MacKay

This was my first CD!

No video, but a huge chick song:
