Why US radio ignored both this song and Airport is quite criminal. Those songs should fit perfectly in any US Rock format. It's also incomprehensible that the band's first 2 albums ("1" and "Approved By...") never made the Billboard Top 200 album chart (unless both Bubbled Under).

Not all U.S. Radio. It was WBCN in Boston who first turned me on to these guys by playing "Airport" in a regular rotation. They also played "Love And Loneliness", if memory serves me greatly. I found the vinyl and to this day, "Tenement Steps" is a Desert Island Favorite of mine.

You only heard this on college and alternative stations here in the USA, so it's kind of a lost oldie. The silver lining is that it never got overplayed, so it sounds as fresh today as it did in 1978. Leif Garret did a passable cover of it the next year, but it only sounded OK if you'd never heard this version.

@AlexAlexon3897 Жыл бұрын

Whereas Airport was an early summer hit, Forget About You was in the charts in late summer, and it has a touch of autumnal regret. Both emotional songs from blokes who looked pretty hard. Think the follow-up should've been Soul Redeemer rather than Today. It was time for a jolly singalong after these beautiful but sad songs. I remember building a bonfire for our village Bonfire Night with a mate, and we were singing Forget About You and thinking how well it fit with the nicely downbeat November vibe. 🙂💙💢
