Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic staccato guitar riff that opens Jessie's Girl, instantly cutting through the air with a mix of jealousy and pop perfection.
The explosive, multi-tracked vocal harmony on the chorus of Love Is Alright Tonite that elevates a simple rock track into an anthem.
The surprisingly moody, slower burn of Inside Silvia which showcases a more vulnerable, atmospheric side of the production.
