This is my favorite rock album. It came out in the fall of 1980.
I never bought it but friends had it and sometimes on a Saturday night at Pacific Union College, we’d put it on, turn out the lights, and pile on top of each other on the couch and shmush each other fully clothed. These were wild times for Seventh-Day Adventist teens.
Everything is better when it’s shared, even REO Speedwagon.
I remember my Vietnamese roommate at UCLA had a copy of it on cassette. In 1989, I got my first real girlfriend and when she’d come over to my room and we were all alone, I’d put on the tape because she admitted it got her excited (it may have been the only thing she admitted that got her excited, so I seized on it).
I spent hours making out to this music.
