It's a shame this isn't in HD
Stay with this one until the end of Clapton’s solo.

I probably listen to more Cars now than I did back then. Their stuff just holds up. Dangerous Type would be my choice for their most underrated.
This may not fit in as a "hidden gem" but man, I do love it. The older I get the more I find myself humming this song.............
Seeing a lot of 80's songs boys. Do better.
I’m seeing generic classic rock ******** too...deep cuts, let’s go.
I was ten. It was funny. Probably too young to understand most of it then. I knew CB Savage was light in the loafers.
How they ever snuck this gem past the radio censors back in the day remains a minor miracle...
High school, college in the 80's, my crowd was classic rock, mocked the college station playing indie rock, bummed years later when I found out what i was missing out on, by not embracing more styles of rock, and now seeing posts of The Jam, Joy Division etal, brings me joy. Don't get me wrong, I knew Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello but no deeper or harder than that. But still, it was rock. More rock than what a lot of the 80's offered.
-singer had substance abuse issues. They were cocky(other bands didn't like that they referenced the beatles overtly/unashamedly)...and they took a lot of heat for being super misogynistic.
That was kinda par for the rock-n-roll course back then. Not saying it was right or wrong, but pretty much came along with the territory.
Lesser known to his Baker Street hit but outstanding in its own right...
NOW you are talking!! Although that was actually a hit, How about "English Civil War"?
