Yes - Cinema This instrumental track bears the name of the original band
Yes - Leave It A vocal and harmony-driven song, Leave It showcases the soaring talent of Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin. Yes - Our Song This is a deeper cut on a hit-heavy album. You can hear a variety of movements that were typical of the prog rock genre. It's a positive, major key song, but still maintains the complex musicality expected from Yes. Yes - Changes Meter complexity and continually shifting movements characterize this minor key hit. Trevor Rabin leads the vocals after a lengthy marimba (not a common rock instrument) and percussion instrumental set, followed by Jon Anderson taking the high notes. The Cure - The Walk This is the first of 17 commercial top 20 Irish hits at the time. The Cure was the original "Goth Rock" band. The Fixx - The Sign of Fire The album Reach the Beach was hands down the biggest commercial hit in the repertoire of The Fixx. Joe Boxers - Just Got Lucky While they had more success in the UK, Joe Boxers was a one-hit wonder in the States. You can hear similarities between this group and other New Wave groups like Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. The Romantics - Talking in Your Sleep The most commercially successful song from the Romantics, though "What I Like About You" is often the first that comes to mind. Jump 'N The Saddle Band - The Curly Shuffle A big band homage to The Three Stooges was popular in December 1983, and finishes off our podcast for this week.
