LOVE "Unguarded Minute" & "Your Imagination" (the "disco" remix is really nice too)... "Go Solo" & "Open All Night" are not bad tracks (and I agree, probably could have been singles), but they don't really stand out to me either. I had the same issue with Big Bam Boom... "Possession Obsession" & "Going Through The Motions" still have that H&O sound, but fail to really stick out at all. I do love "Out of Touch" & "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid" though... great, great tracks!

While not a favorite either, I actually like quite a few of the tracks on Ooh Yeah!...kind of a different sound for them. It has "Everything Your Heart Desires", which is a classic H&O track for me. 1990's Change Of Season is a different story... really disliked it when I first bought it (except for "So Close" which I always liked). It has grown on me a little, but still don't care too much for most of the tracks.

I guess despite my love for all of their 80's hits, that's not necessarily my favorite period for them album-wise. Marigold Sky was actually one of the first H&O albums that I heard all the way through (I think it was the second after their Rock 'N Soul Pt. 1 collection). That one really impressed me in that it felt modern for the time it came out yet maintained their classic sound... that may be a part of why it sticks out to me.
