Rick Springfield's combination of muscular pub rock and romantic longing—as well as his General Hospital soap star bona fides—made him one of pop's premier ‘80s heartthrobs. The frustrated anthem “Jessie's Girl” shot the Australian singer to superstardom in 1981, and he became a radio fixture with uptempo-yet-agitated power-pop gems like the frantic “I've Done Everything for You,” the glittering “Human Touch,” and the pleading “Don't Talk to Strangers.” The paranoid “Bop ‘Til You Drop” and the generation-gap-decrying “Celebrate Youth” show off Springfield's versatility, pairing state-of-the-world lyrics with churning synths.
