THANK YOU, 'lectric!

Dang, this album sounds as good as Rhythm of Youth! Can't believe I haven't heard it before. Thanks so much again.

PLEAE-- anyone--let me know if there's anything I can share back! My NW collection isn't that extensive or inclusive of much that is terribly obscure, but I have LOTS of music and I'll send anything along...

I ordered A Flock - Listen remastered from Amazon but it is taking forever because of some other stuff I ordered.

IMO Listen is a good album with songs like Wishing (If I had a photograph of you), Nightmares,Transfer Affection and I Ran Live, however you will not have the other Mega Hit of AFOS: The More You Live, The More You Love + all the tracks I cited earlier. A better option would have been to get The Best Of, then the Self-titled and then Listen.Well what is done is done![;)]

Not to worry, I do have "Best of ..." [:)]. "The More You Live ..." is one of my favourite Flock tracks.

You got any opinion on Folk Music of the 80s or Pop Goes the World?

Folk of the 80's III is pretty good, right up there with Rhythm of Youth. The original, 4-song 10" Folk Of The 80's, which pre-dates Rhythm is also really really good. I haven't heard Pop Goes The World since it was new, but I remember being really let down as it was more of a straight-up pop album along the lines of The Escape Club or something. I found a copy of The Adventures of Men Without Hats (or whatever it's called) a few months ago but haven't really listened to it yet.

Many thanks to Motors and Rubbeet for the music.

I'm working my way right now through "Rythmn of Youth." I found "I Like" (which I like [8D] ) very Devo-esque.

The Video for "I Like" was awesome too, only saw it once on MTV but that was my favorite song off the album, if anyone happens to have that I'd be very interested to see it again!

Sorry I'm late to this topic--been out of town.
MWoH is a very underappreciated band (which I've mentioned several times before on the NWO) Pop goes the World is one of the best LPs in my collection--certainly one of the best concept albums in NW (IMHO). Unfortunately after this LP and "THE ADVENTURES OF WOMEN & MEN WITHOUT HATS IN THE 21st CENTURY" LP it went downhill fast for these guys with Sideways taking a stab at AOR rock. Still Rhythm of Youth, Folk of the '80s part 3 and Pop goes the World are classic.
