Anyone else hear that song "1985" in the guitar break?

I was the same way: I thought this song would be a huge hit -- surprise! But I still think it's great. I thought I was the only one who really liked it.

I love this song. That hook is incredible.
Roxy Roller is amazing too, sometimes you will hear it on Canadian oldies/Classic Rock stations.

Congrats to you, although Stephen Sondheim is crying 'cause you gave him no love.

It's good to finally find somebody who likes this tune as much as I do. One of the happiest jukebox moments of my life was finding it at a rural Wisconsin bar in 1978, one of the only rock records on the whole box.

The Sweeney Todd stuff is pretty good, especially "Roxy Roller" (which Nick redid note for note for his first album, I believe). Vallance wasn't involved with the Todd.

Here's their Wiki page.

I made it thru that entire response without making an all-too-obvious Johnny Depp/Tim Burton joke, so congratulate me.

I've read about Sweeney Todd for years but never actually heard any of their material. Is it any good? Also, was Jim Vallance involved with them in any capacity?

Had no idea about the Nick Gilder / Bryan Adams connection.

Another nice benefit of Popdose – good to have you post more often, John!
