I think TT's 2nd album was "radio friendly challenged" with it's material but this upbeat one might've been given some spins back in '86 =

I have no skin in this game since I loved all their albums, in their entirety.

That doesn't happen often anymore.

Til Tuesday was a band that was just getting better and better with each album. With the exception of Voices Carry, there wasn't much to recommend on the first album. Welcome Home had some fantastic cuts and was one of the best albums of '86. However, I think Everything's Different Now was their crowning achievement. I think the problem was that Voices Carry was somewhat of a gimmick single (however good it was) and Aimee Mann wasn't looking to repeat that, so radio ignored them.

I think the same thing happened with Katrina and the Waves, who did much better work in '86 and '89, but everyone was looking for Walking on Sunshine 2 (why, I have no idea- that fucking song was awful) and they ignored their subsequent releases, which were much better.

I hated STP when I was in high school (mid 90s). They were just so uncool and only basic kids liked them.

First, they were Pearl Jam lite. And I didn't even like Pearl Jam all that much. I was a Nirvana devotee.

Second, Weiland was just a total douche. Cobain and Vedder and Staley and Cornell were way more interesting frontmen.

But now that rock music is dead? I kinda love them. They really have some fantastic songs. I love the song, OP.

(Weiland, RIP, never wasn't a douche however. But he had a great voice.)

"Heart Like A Wheel " was an instant dud. I heard the song once on a tv video show & although I loved the band had no interest in hearing it again (or even seeing the video again).

None Of Laura's upbeat singled from this album made a dent on the charts.

She should've released one of the ballads from it -

Good call, R27. This track and Take a Bow are the only songs off that album I'd give repeated listens to.

Even the religious right folks would've enjoyed this track on their radio & she'd probably would've had another top 10 :

I never understood The Big Sky being released from Hounds of Love, it's utterly forgettable when compared to the other singles from that album.

Any track from side two of HOL would have shown a broader range of her musical abilities than The Big Sky.

This 60s themed album had a clunky title which also was the clunky lead track & clunky lead single.

This should've been the awesome album title, awesome lead track & awesome lead single.
