4.0 out of 5 stars A walk back to the '80s, January 8, 2005

If the '80s was the decade of the one-hit wonders, then the duo of Bourgeois Tagg was the shining example (for the song "I don't Mind at All"). Every once in a while you will here the song on a background music track in a store or restaurant and, if you are a child of the '80s, you probably say to yourself "I've heard that before," but can't remember who it was. Well it's Bourgeois Tagg. This song takes me back to a simpler time of OP board shorts, upturned collars on Izod polo shirts and Vans skate shoes.

However, it shouldn't just end with one song. Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg had very thought provoking lyrics and solid music to back them up. While "I Don't Mind at All" is clearly their most known song, two others are quite noticeable: "Waiting for the Worm to Turn," (which has an acoustic, upbeat feel) and "Pencil and Paper," (more intense and danceable).

If you are into rare '80s music, then Yoyo is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Made It, June 18, 2011

This review is from: Yoyo (Audio CD)

I was pleased to find this CD to replace my original (now stolen) copy. This was mid eighties in every respect and Bourgeois Tagg almost made it. This is their 2nd and last CD. They dotted all the i's, with management by Bill Graham, production by Todd Rundgren, and even an appearance on the Tonight Show (while Johnny Carson was still there). But, despite a modest hit with the heartbreaking "I Don't Mind At All," the band broke up, for personal reasons.

Brent left us some worthwhile songs, vocals and keys; Larry laid down a rockin' bass; Lyle's guitar is exactly right; and Mike, with Larry's bass, gives the whole thing a solid rhythm on the drums.

In sum, it's a worthwhile memory.

I love this album, great work.
If you like Todd Rundgren you will like this.
Also look for mutual surrender, another great song from this band.
It is on youtube.
