Third & fourth studio releases from 1979 The Fine Art of Surfacing and from 1981 the Mondo Bongo by the Irish Punk/New Wave Band The Boomtown Rats, were a bit of a departure from previous material.  I prefer the first of the two with such songs as Someone's Looking At You, Diamond Smiles and the hit I Don't Like Mondays, about the school ground shooting in California by a 16 year old, who's reason for the act was "I don't like Mondays".

Wild Jungle Rock is the second full length release by the Toronto Rockabilly band The Bopcats.  Although short lived as a band, they did put out some very good music and were followed by bands like The Stray Cats, UranusThe Razorbacks. From 1982 on Attic LAT 1130 here is What Did I Do Last Night?




Released in 1976 the self titled debut album by the band Boston was a huge success and became one of the best selling debut albums of all time.  More That A Feeling, Peace of Mind, Smokin' ... all great classic rock songs and in my opinion the best album the band put out. An essential for any classic rock collection.  Epic PE 34188.
Here is Foreplay/Long Time
