15. I Think We Would Disagree On That Title Line of Yours

Just What I Needed is an absolute gem of a rock tune. Great hooks, great vocals, and a guitar solo one could sing.

Now, if you mean the later stuff like "Drive", ok. That's a bit overproduced and it was super popular due to the MTV thing, but from that same era, "Magic" and "You Might Think" are, once again, superbly crafted tunes.

That said, my favorite thing from them, early days, was "You're All I've Got Tonight/Bye Bye Love" pairing, that, IIRC, was on the first album.
