If It Ain’t Rough (1988)
MC Ren is rightly regarded as the third most important rapper in NWA; but this flow—and Dre’s deceptively simple beat—deserves to be remembered.

#DeepCuts1980s Went looking for The Vapors- New Clear Days the other week, and couldn't locate it. I could have sworn it was a #CDsOnTheShelf, but...Will fix that: Here's "Cold War"

#deepcuts1980s Roger Daltrey, from McVicar soundtrack- "Without Your Love" was a hit in some parts. I can't decide: Bitter & Twisted youtube.com/watch?v=SqH5... or My Time Is Gonna Come www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaA-...

The mind may have been troubled, but the pen and the music still went on. Apparently his infamous therapist was all up in the studio arguing over the sounds, pretty gross but you wouldn’t know it to listen

The Romantics - “First In Line”
From 1980’s The Romantics
#TheRomantics
Either I forgot, didn't notice, or didn't know #deepcuts1980s was over here. Sigh.
Tracy Chapman's first album is one of the best of all time. When I think of 'deep cuts' I mostly think of Side Two, Tracks 3-5. This one actually fits that designation- "For My Lover."

Driven To Tears - The Police (1980)
An interesting track highlighted by their whitey ska mastery, Copeland’s drums, clever lyrics—but best of all, some instrumental flights that really hit.

Day 25: Tiffany - "Should've Been Me" (1987).
The opening track of this chart-topping album polishes up a classic lovelorn trope among teenage female singers.
