Hidden Treasure

Not enough attention, plaudits, respect, love, airplay, $ - at least in my O-pinion:
Dwight Twilley
Greg Kihn (The Greg Kihn Band)
Mason Ruffner - Gypsy Blood
Shawn Phillips - Faces
Smash Palace

If I recall correctly (without digging out the record) Jimmy Page produced the Gypsy Blood album.  Didn't know Mason toured with JP.  

Godley & Creme - Consequences

Well worth hunting down and listening to the whole thing.  A great "radio play" musical.

The Blue Nile - Men With Hats
The whole thing here:

@boxer12 - Thanks for bringing this thread back to the surface. Agree with your David & David. Lived in Houston when Boomtown was getting some airplay. Talk about timely social commentary. Great song too.

@boxer12
FWIW (you might already know)...one of the Davids (Baerwald) has some solo stuff that is worth checking out. The other David (Ricketts) has been musically active (as per Wikipedia) but more of a behind the scenes guy with some impressive production and co-writing credits to his name. You are right, however, no follow up to their excellent Boomtown album.

Check out the 4th entry (back on May 12) after the OP kicked things off.

Amen to The Greg Kihn Band.  They never got enough love.
