One Hit Wonder THIS...

Steve Peake's article on About.com about his Top 7 RS tunes is a must read for anyone who has to explain yet again to their friends and family that Rick Springfield is not a one hit wonder:
"I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of apologizing for digging much of the '80s output of Aussie heartthrob Rick Springfield. I’m not threatened by his empirical good looks, and I choose instead to focus on the fact that he was a consummate songwriter with a gift for melody who also knew his way intimately around rock guitar riffs. The songs on this list demonstrate without question Springfield’s significant contributions to '80s rock and pop, as all of them showcase pop confection melodies but none so sweet that the singer’s male bravado and rocking inclinations don’t provide an appropriate balance."
