Glass Tiger first appeared in 1986, the year that Cutting Crew and the Outfield
also debuted on pop radio. What do these bands have in common besides being from
the same graduating class? Glass Tiger, like Cutting Crew and the Outfield,
roamed between Top 40 rock and mainstream new wave. The Best of Glass Tiger: Air
Time collects choice cuts from a group that is usually remembered for one song,
Dont Forget Me (When Im Gone). Probably inspired by Simple Minds similarly
titled Dont You (Forget About Me) a year earlier, Dont Forget Me (When Im Gone)
still sounds like Wham!, mainly because Alan Frews vocals during the chorus are
nearly identical to George Michaels. Bryan Adams prominent cameo -- theres no
mistaking that raspy voice -- epitomizes the bands desire to make it big, and
for a little while Glass Tiger was on MTVs roll call. Dont Forget Me (When Im
Gone) is pure saccharine, 80s FM candy at its most frothy, but its undeniably
catchy. The ballad Someday is even sweeter. One can only imagine how many high
school boys were beaten up by heavy metal cliques for admitting to like Glass
Tiger in the mid-80s, and even now theyre still a guilty pleasure. However, The
Best of Glass Tiger shouldve stopped with their second LP, 1988s Diamond Sun; by
their third record, the group had become nearly unlistenable. On Animal Heart,
Glass Tiger sounds like Def Leppard, trying fruitlessly to imitate Leppards
arena-filling harmonies and immaculately polished hard rock guitars. Perhaps
Glass Tiger realized that their hopes for another Top 40 single had faded and it
was time to court the AOR market. From Dont Forget Me (When Im Gone) to My Song,
The Best of Glass Tiger is the perfect CD to sing along to when nobody else is
around; after that, even the most hardcore aficionados of 80s fluff will feel a
tad queasy.
