5 out of 5 stars 1982 Rocks.......2001-08-28

Rock On's 1982 collection is another first rate compilation. The album opens with Toni Basil's classic number one cheerleading song "Mickey". The J. Geils Band's "Freeze Frame" is a fun song with a memorable keyboard riff. The Motels' "Only The Lonely" has a film noir quality to it and supergroup Asia's "Heat Of The Moment" is a great rocker. The Stray Cats evoke the ghosts of 50's rockers on the hell raising "Rock This Town" and Foreigner aim for glory with their rousing "Jukebox Hero". Quarterflash's "Harden My Heart" has a moody sound while Juice Newton laughs at love's heartaches in the fluffy "Love Been A Little Bit Hard On Me". The Little River Band's "The Other Guy" isn't one of their best, but it is still decent. Paul Davis' "'65 Love Affair" is a bouncy trip down memory lane about a long ago teenage relationship. Ray Parker, Jr. shows off his guitar skills on the fiery "The Other Woman" and Patrice Rushen closes out the album with the pumping "Forget Me Nots" which Will Smith heavily sampled on his hit "Men In Black".
