The 1981 Listening Post - All Sports Band - All Sports Band

All Sports Band - All Sports Band 



#612

1981 Housekeeping

All-Sports Band

All Sports Band

Genre: Village People of Rock

3.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Jet Set



This is an impresario project. Taking a cue from the Village People they put a bunch of guys in sports outfits and put out a Power Pop/Rock record. 

The concept is awful. 

The songs…

Are not terrible. They are sound like they wanna be Styx at times (“Turn this Game Around”, “Run Away”) or The Sweet or Rick Springfield. 


There’s good stuff here. “Jet Set” could be covered by Foxy Shazam 30 years later. And we would have loved it. The Single, “Opposites Do Attract” sound like something that would show up in a Rex Smith TV movie. And the other one, “I’m Your Superman” would be the closing credits song in the Smith starrer, Sooner or Later 2.
