I was a fan in their heyday, but “Surrender” is the only one of their top singles that has withstood the test of time, imho.
I love Surrender. I’d have to say The Dream Police would be my next favorite. Then I Want You to Want Me from Live from Budokan.
You Done Dirt Cheap....
Robin and his brother had a band in Milwaukee before they headed to Rockford. I used to borrow amps from the band “Zander” when I was in Methyl Ethyl and The Ketones in Milwaukee. Nice guys!
