Mike! I was just about to chime in with "Women". Probably their best little rocker.
After the "4" album came out and every kid in my high school had it (or so it seemed), a bunch of us went to see them at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I didn't really care for the "4" album, but was hoping they'd play a bunch of stuff from the first three albums. There was a huge inflatable jukebox onstage ("Jukebox Hero") and the show was fairly cookie-cutter, even to my 17-year-old eyes and ears. They did play a bunch from the other albums and it was overall an "ok" show. Oh, and Billy Squier opened. ;-)
