    Poll: What's your favorite Romantics or Mike Skill tune?

      Having been a private disc jockey for hire for over 30 years, I have to say "What I Like About You" is a massive party favorite. It always packs the dancefloor! So that's my answer and I'm stickin to it!

      @@doctorkayak That song is nuts how it's taken off! I understand it wasn't a hit for the longest time, now everyone (even my kids) know and love that song!

      “What I Like About You”…was NOT a hit at the time…1979-80… it made little impact at the time… #80 position……maybe…in the charts at the time… The song was exploited and used in commercials and other venues over the years, Without the Bands Consent…pathetic!…!!

    I absolutely love all their songs, but I’ll pick When I Look In Your Eyes! A track on first album that is just as great as What I like About You! Honorable mentions: Still We Remain and Out Of My Mind from their last album “61/49”!! A classic Romantics album!! Why oh why has it been 21 years!!! Please 🙏 one more!! Great interview with Mike. He gave me a high five at a show a few years ago! What a night! They always deliver!! Cheers, Matt 🍻😎👍🎇💥☘️❤️🎆

      Love that song! When Mike said the producer told them when they finished recording "In Heat" that they still needed a single (so they wrote "Talking In Your Sleep"), I couldn't believe it. "Rock You Up" would have been an awesome single. Ah, well... Thanks for watching!
