This is the strangest “song” of the year so far. Geils Band made a great choice in covering this one. ![]() This is a cover of The Strangeloves 1965 hit that reached #30. It has that “ Land of a Thousand Dances” vibe. Oooooh, I like this one! I love the way it starts with the piano and drums. But it does get a bit repetitive, especially towards the end. ![]() It has a good beat to it and the guitar is great. Perhaps it was too hard for pop radio, but not hard enough for rock radio. That’s unfortunate as it’s about as good as any of the major hits they had. Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh praised “Come Back” as a “full-scale showcase” for the band, claiming that it came “very close to the topnotch hard rock Geils has always threatened to make and too rarely delivered.” It really is a great showcase. charts and peaked at #19 for two weeks in Canada. This joins the long list of songs where Daddy doesn’t approve of the rebel boy who wants to “date” his daughter.Īnother great rocker! This was the first single released from the album, and peaked at #32 on the U.S. The album was released on Janufrom EMI Records, and was produced by Seth Justman. While the best was yet to come, Love Stinks hit some mainstream success. By the late 70s/early 80s, they were hitting their peak success. ![]() Throughout the 70s, they were leaning towards an R&B/Bluesy sound with songs such as “ Lookin’ For a New Love,” “ Give it to Me,” and the hit “ Must Have Got Lost“. I’ll also include the Spotify playlist at the bottom of each article, if the album is on Spotify. You can click on the song title to check out the YouTube video of the song. I hope we make some rad discoveries, and I know there will be songs that will bring us back to some great times! In either case, it is always awesome to Return to the 80s! I hope this is good and you all enjoy it. We’ll hear some classics, some hidden gems that not everybody may be familiar with, and maybe some nobody has heard of, which can be a great discovery, or something that will make you say What the HELL was that?!?! Hey Everybody, welcome back to Return to the 80s Music! As I mentioned previously, I will go through chronologically and cover as many 80s albums as I can.
