Comment on Skyhooks by Vic Stathopoulos
Skyhooks was one of my favourite bands. Skyhooks simply combined great melodies with Shirley's unique voice and great backing band. I like the first 3 albums. I like lots of songs, but I think my favorite song was Hooor Movie. I remember how the song started with the synth sounds and the guitars entered. Songs that inspired me with my songwriting were: Living in the 70s, Saturday Night, Mercedes Ladies, Women in Uniform, This is my City, Love on the Radio.
