Monday: Xanadu, "Orignal Motion Picture Soundtrack" (1980)
A soundtrack featuring Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton John is a match made in Heaven. We played E.L.O.'s "All Over the World."

Tuesday: The Flamin Ohs "Oh!" (1981)
This is the second Flamin' Oh's (Twin Cities local band) album, released on Fat City Records. We played "I Won't, She Don't."

Wednesday: Kiss, "Alive!" (1975)
"Alive!" is one of the mothers of all live albums. Who cares if it had a little post show overdubbing and touching up in the studio. We played a tune with Gene Simmons singing, "Deuce."

Thursday: Sugarloaf, "Sugarloaf" (1970)
The big hit from this album was "Green Eyed Lady" (their biggest hit in their entire career). The self titled debut is a collection of rock pop tunes and organ driven, psychedelic instrumentals. We played the groovin' instrumental "Gold and the Blues."

Friday: Elvis Costello and the Attractions, "Trust" (1981)
Not a commercially successful hit, but contains some gems produced by Nick Lowe. Costello has said in interviews that this album was made under the influence of some... substances. We played "Fish 'n' Chip Paper."
