Don't think I've heard "I Found Somebody", but Frey's second solo single "The One You Love" still gets tons of airplay in my area and I've developed a certain appreciation for it, such a sweet saxophone groove

It is interesting, on their first solo records, how closely Frey hewed to the Eagles sound while Henley was like "LOL time to make a new wave record!"

yeah i'll ride for the one u love. It has a v unfreylike grace.
still can't not love dirty laundry even though the scoldy judgy lyrics are abonimable. I just love the arrangement and production so much.

FM is a tough one. They have less of a lead singer than they do three singers who sing lead.

Not gonna lie, I stopped reading and voted after I saw the first choice.

I'm the one voting for Ice Cube, though I don't know if he would qualify as a "singer," per se.

Ian Anderson - Fly By Night
i'm going to be a good boy and not embed this clip of Ian twirling his flute around alone with a keyboard player on the leo sayer show, but it's fucking hilarious

nothing wrong with some hot ladies. Gives me something to grab for. My vote.

I wash hoping someone would talk about that first Ric Ocasek solo, supposedly more synth-heavy than his Cars stuff.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 22:15 (nine years ago) link
That particular song is more guitar heavy than The Cars at that moment. It might as well have been a Cars album. I like the single. Have the 45 with the picture sleeve.

literally just learnt that AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted was a single. If I'd known that all along, I might vote for it, but that whole album just feels like a piece to me. I Want Your Sex would be a contender, if it had been Yog's debut. If DLR was listed as the Crazy From The Heat EP, not just California Girls, hands-down winner. So that leaves me with .... voting for Suedehead?
:( you guys

Suedehead popped up on my giant spotify playlist this evening. It's still fantastic.

I saw R.E.M. do this on this tour in '87. A friend of mine who was at the same show ended up working out next to Lou Gramm at a gym sometime the next year and told Lou that R.E.M. had done his song. Lou was apparently very excited to hear it.

btw, "Spread a little happiness" doesn't count as he hadn't left the Police then.
Also, was in severe danger of voting that one, but for Morrissey.

well by that logic you'd also have to discount Phil Collins, David Byrne, Daryl Hall, Mick Jagger etc

Phil Collins over Ice Cube, because "In The Air Tonight" was his career high point.
