I always thought Hall & Oates’ 1982 single “Your Imagination” shouldve done much better than it did. I remember radio stations were shipped a more R&B inflected (albeit inferior) bass-heavy remix of the song. The new wavey-state of the art Private Eyes album version was much better.

For Hall & Oates, I’d add their cover of Me & Mrs. Jones to your list of the greatest things they’ve ever recorded. As far as covers go, it was much better than their cover of You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling (which was still respectable and far better than Paul Rodgers cover of that same tune with The Firm a few years later).

Great single! I was teaching at a small women’s college in Missouri and advising the student newspaper in 1990-91, and I remember hearing this song coming from the radio in the newsroom. Looking in, I saw a number of the young women doing a languid dance. Quite a memory.
