Anyone remember the Hawks? All I remember is the tune Its Allright Its Ok that was pretty decent. Think it was around 1980?

There is very little on their self-titled record that I consider remotely new wave. Their hit, "Right Away," could have been recorded by Poco for all it mattered. The other two singles off it were better (not that they did anything), but a good half of the album is '70s Light FM -- and hardly the cream of the crop as far as that genre is concerned.

(I've never listened to "Otho" or "Perfect World Radio.")
