I still love this song to pieces, but admittedly I like more and more of this dude's pop songs as I get older.
like I will admit to liking or loving
"Shoulda Known Better""Endless Summer Nights""Hazard""Hold Onto the Night""Take This Heart"
fuckin hate most of the rest
"Hazard" was just the kind of dark that my childhood self could get into. with implied, non-explicit violence

the one I would add to that list (which may fall into your "fuckin hate" category) is "Angelia" - a near perfect version of that style of 80s/90s melancholy guitar ballad

I don't know if I know that one!

ok listening to it now, and I do remember this, but haven't heard it in decades!
this one will go on my 'good' list

when I rediscovered it about ten years ago, I also hadn't heard it since the 80s - radio has pretty much forgotten this song in favor of the bigger hits. but it was a #4 single!

“Keep Coming Back” (where he is chanelling El DeBarge with backup by Luther Vandross) is great.(so is “Right Here Waiting” of course, but I doubt me saying that is going to soften Neanderthal’s hardened heart)

The whole Rush Street album is pretty good imo, i like a lot of tracks on that as well as Hazard, like Take This Heart, Love Unemotional, Hands in Your pocket etc - Billy Joel plays piano on I Get No Sleep, Steve lukather & Jeff Porcaro are on a bunch of songs, Terry Bozzio, lots of cool session cats
