It was one of my favorites back in my teen years in the 80s. (My neighbor had it and I'd listen to it non-stop when I was over there babysitting his kids.) A few years ago I searched out my own copy and when I was listening to it, something about one of the singers kept reminding me of Julia Fordham. I dug a little deeper and discovered that he had sung on one of Julia's albums! I own the CD by Millions Like Us. It was one of my favorites back in my teen years in the 80s.

Love all five of the singles, as well as the entire SPRING SESSION M album and their first EP. The dance mix version of "GIVE" that appears on their Classic Masters CD compilation is killer! I'm chomping at the bit for the 1981 movie LUNCH WAGON to be issued on DVD, although I'm not holding my breath (they appeared in this cheesecake comedy flick before they hit it big).<br><br>Not only did Kim Mitchell's "GO FOR SODA" get a bit of airplay on the rock stations in Chicago back in the day, but his (obviously non-charting) song "PATIO LANTERNS" did as well... both cool tunes!

Not only did Kim Mitchell's “GO FOR SODA” get a bit of airplay on the rock stations in Chicago back in the day, but his (obviously non-charting) song “PATIO LANTERNS” did as well… both cool tunes!

And the jazz records, i.e. "Miles Davis Quintet," last name of the band leader. Comps I file at the end of each genre, and soundtracks get their own section. It's not perfect, but it has been working for me for a good number of years now.

I had never heard the song before building my collection and now I can't get enough of it. I honestly didn't realize that so many people knew “Go For Soda”.

The classic "complete the sentence" ending to "oh, well" -- the more people tossing in a word or phrase like a verbal hot potato, the better. Kinda like our own "c'est la vie" and "que sera sera" rolled into one only better. “Might as well go for a soda” became quite the linguistic currency in my high school for the brief period.

I thought they made the switch for 1988's <i>Rock & Roll Strategy</i> and then moved back for 1991's platinum-in-Bulgaria <i>Bone and Steel</i>, or whatever it was called. (I'm too lazy to look.)
