Big woman and a short, short man. And he loves it when she beats his brains out.

I vote for "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names".

It was close between Quarterflash and Translator, but I am going with Un-Alone. What a great song.

Joan Armatrading...great song

I heard the Joan Armatrading song for the first time this year & loved it. I always liked that Quarterflash song though - about the only one of theirs I thought was worthwhile.

I'm going with Joan though!

I had the album - I don't know why it took me 20 years to discover "I love it when you call me names."

Drop the Pilot is a great song. If anyone is not that familiar with Joan Armatrading's work - check out the Me, Myself, I album - it's (in my opinion) her best.

I loved the key. Have you checked out the line up!?
