    I had the Greg Kihn album "Rockihnroll". That's the first time I heard Shelia. Long before I heard the original.

    Hot Stuff

    I've been listening, too, off and on. I think I first caught it starting 1972.
    Also listening to the free XM event.

    I like Romeo's Tune. In fact, I like that whole album, "Jack Rabbit Slim".
    I like a lot of Steve Forbert's music.

    Jump

    I had to do a search for that one. I looked through the Wikipedia discography for both bands and missed it. Look like the Loverboy version of Jump peaked at 101 on the US charts. The album is one I thought I was familiar with, but I guess only the hits. Pretty sure I never owned it.
