Careful, from the Berkeley, California new wave band the Motels, came out on Capitol in 1980, and it belongs to Martha Davis. Her voice, cool and smoky, carries the whole thing, drifting over twitchy rhythms and moody keyboards like a woman walking home alone at 2 a.m.

"Danger" is the pick, tense and taut, and it did well enough in France to become one of their early calling cards. All Four One followed.
