It's absolutely heartbreaking, detail by devastating detail about moving on from a love affair. It came out at just the right time in my life. LOL I also love Michael Johnson - his voice is so smooth, with a sad undercurrent a little like Karen Carpenter. His delivery added some extra poignancy to "Bluer Than Blue" and "This Night Won't Last Forever". Oh, the memories... :) My usual two cents, 12 months later…. :) I LOVE “A Lucky Guy” by Rickie Lee Jones.

However, as a former copy editor, I can guarantee that Judas Priest is not considered an acceptable style reference.

Saw Rob Jungklas perform at an outdoor free show when this album came out and he just did not fit the sound I had heard. I always thought that hurt him.

The Priest track is definitely more popular than it's chart status leads on; then again, that type of metal wasn't popular with the squares back then. Those bands(Priest, Maiden, etc) could sell out arenas, but Casey Kasem wasn't exactly singing their praises on the countdown.

I am also unapologetic in my love for Journey.

I am also forever amazed by our similarity in musical taste. I'm pretty sure we're the same age and from the same hometown too. Weird, right?

Otherwise … it's quite a nice upgrade. The only things I miss are the comments RSS, and the very rudimentary “scroll down to see if you missed it” nature of the old site.
