Oh yeah, they were great.  Many favorite songs of theirs.

Hold on loosely is some very good advice as well.  :D

I love second chance too.

Great 80's rock/hard rock band with traces of country.

Overall my favorite album is Rock & Roll Strategy, even though it's slightly different from their trademark sound with new lead vocalist Max Carl. More straight pop.

That's where the power ballad "Second Chance" is from, but it also had great other songs. "Midnight Magic" and "What's it To Ya" are harder rockers that are just as good as any big hit they've had. Same with "Love Strikes".

I also think 1986's Strength in Numbers was way underrated. Especially songs like "One in a Million", "Against the Night" (LOVE this one!!) and "Never Give an Inch".

Yeah, I remember them.  I just saw them in August of this year at the Clearfield County Fair in Clearfield, PA.  They are still great!
