What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Aussies with some spunk. Formed in 1981 in Sydney, the group has gone through numerous changes, but still at it, with an album out in 2010. Had no idea they were still a group, as the last I remember is the album after this one. Vocalist Dave Faulkner is the only member that has been there for the long run. This is their third album and came out a little lower than I expected. Guess it didn't live up to Mars for me. Label was trying to put forth a more serious group. New producer Mark Opitz, who had done the trick for AC/DC and INXS. The Bangles show up on backing vocals on Good Times. With only that and my fav of Come On being the only great tracks, and four failing to even make the grade, this just barely passed. The album only reached #120 here in the states. I'm sure it fared much better in the homeland where the single of What's My Scene reached #3.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Where Nowhere Is

Best Track - Come On

Oh, come on,
I've been hanging out,
Had some nagging doubts,
But that was until now.
Oh, come on,
You are all I want.
All I want.
How could I hold out for long?

Oh, come on,
Who cares what people say?
Cause we can sleep all day,
Tonight won't keep away.
Let's just play.
Oh, come on,
How can we be wrong?
We're not wrong
When we both feel so strong.
We're so strong, we're so strong
Come on.

Come on,
The last train's almost gone.
Really gone!
Let's enjoy the ride we're on.
So come on,
We can take our time -
We can walk the line, after all.

So come on,
Cause it's you I love.
When push comes to shove
You're more than enough.
You're more than enough.
Come on.
