'Songs from the Big Chair' - their biggest hit and second album (1985), which I have on vinyl.

Featured:"Everybody wants to rule the world", which Groom mentioned and another hit was "Shout". All good stuff! -Glenn

There was a lot of great music recorded in the 1980s. It wasn't all hair bands and stale disco. Also, we had a great New Music station in Toronto, CFNY - 102.1 - The Edge, that played a lot of good stuff heard nowhere else, locally at least.
