"Touch that dial - turn me on
Start me like a motor, make me run
Lovin every minute of it
Lovin every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin every minute of it"
Not many Canadian bands from the early 80s cracked the American market, but Loverboy did. The first album was my favorite, simply called Loverboy. I'm not sure if it's because my music collection was limited or listening to full albums was the norm, but back then I listened to that first compilation a lot and i still like every song on it.
- The Kid Is Hot Tonight
- Turn Me Loose
- Always On My Mind
- Lady Of The '80's
- Little Girl
- Prissy Prissy
- Teenage Overdose
- D.O.A.
- It Don't Matter
As with a lot of Canadian music back then, the second album was actually the breakout release in the USA. Get Lucky contained the huge hit Working For The Weekend and When It's Over. Other good songs were Jump, Lucky Ones and Take Me To The Top.
If you bought the self titled debut Loverboy album and Loverboy Classics shown above you would probably have all you need for your listening pleasure. To be honest, i would say some of the next recordings were pretty sparse for hits. Keep It Up had Hot Girls In Love and Lovin' Every Minute had that song and This Could Be The Night. Singles like Heaven In Your Eyes is best known for being on the Top Gun soundtrack and Almost Paradise with Mike Reno and Ann Wilson as the love theme song for the movie Footloose.
