Yeah. Hell of a voice on George, but man was (is?) he messed up.Eileen ranks way up there in the ranks of songs that I once liked, but would be happy never to hear again due to insane overplay.
As for DYRWTHM, I think it still sounds fresh - like that reggae tinge to it. The story between Boy George and Jon Moss is an interesting one. The Culture Club Behind The Music episode was one of the better ones in the series.
Good question, Vandenberg maybe. Never saw April Wine, fully expect to see them on a casino tour.warm up act for April Wine?
The Fixx and Saga came out roughly the same time, the guitar sound of The Fixx is what I liked more.I liked the Fixx because they had a 'guitar' sound. I've noted my distaste for the 80s electric drum sound and its a bit heavy on this tune.
Well, they are Rollers.Never saw April Wine, fully expect to see them on a casino tour.
Dude, I mean. Just...dude. One song? You can't negotiate more than one song for the nekkid hour with the Porcelain Princess? Ay de mi. I call foul here.if i had a heavenwish between spending a naked hour w '50s Grace Kelly or singing one song w Kenny Loggins' pipes, i honestly dont know which i'd choose.
well, i done the thing i'd do to porcelain before, but i aint never been able to make all the notes of which i could conceive, more possible from the Loggins voicebox than from any other i know offhand.Dude, I mean.

Effluvial in some way, I presume.well, i done the thing i'd do to porcelain before, but i aint never been able to make all the notes of which i could conceive, more possible from the Loggins voicebox than from any other i know offhand.

The baritone singer that looked like Larry from "Three's Company" always cracked me up. The lead singer also had a John Oates thing going on.83. Bobbie Sue - The Oak Ridge Boys - January
Always liked these guys.82. Mountain Music - Alabama - February
I like some southern rock and Alabama knows how to make it work.82. Mountain Music - Alabama - February
"Mountain Music," the sixth of an absurd 21 straight No. 1 hits for Alabama, offers fans a taste of the Southern music and rural experiences from cousins Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry's childhoods on Sand Mountain.
"It took me three years to write it, and I wanted to get my own experience of growing up in the mountains in the lyrics," Owen wrote in his autobiography, Born Country: How Faith, Family and Music Brought Me Home. "This came together in such very specific lines. Take, for instance, the stanza that begins 'swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man.' When I was a kid, if you could make it across the Little River and back in one fell swoop, well, that was a big deal. It doesn't look that wide today, but back then it seemed like an Olympian challenge."
Another line lifted from Owen's childhood mentions using regionally prevalent chert rocks (often misheard as "church rocks") as baseballs.

well, my real dream is to commit frottage in a fromagerie on a frontage road, but that's too MLK for these pedestrians.fromage over frottage?
... say it ain't so!
Nova Rags (Union Rags less heralded kid in the Fl. Derby) had a decent Tampa campaign (angle i been digging recently, save for the vastly overrated King G last year) ... he fires from the 1 hole on Saturday, can lay off the pace and give that 7 all he can handle ... Mott trainee with Junior A up - if GH has a hiccup, i think this will be it, which won't be the worst thing for his backers, as it will bode bettor value come May.well, my real dream is to commit frottage in a fromagerie on a frontage road, but that's too MLK for these pedestrians.

not sold on Nova's bro Spielberg at all, though a close encounter with this lot can sway things.

Always liked Melissa Manchester but didn't realize how proficient of an artist she was. I thought THIS tune came later but its from 1975.

Great song and tribute to John Lennon.@wikkidpissah no worries. Let's give you some more songs to discuss.
80. Blue Eyes/Empty Garden (Hey, Hey Johnny) - Elton John
I'll give some factoids when I get home.
That's a good tune and agree she’s got a killer voice. Also like Through the Eyes of Love (Theme From 'Ice Castles")Always liked Melissa Manchester but didn't realize how proficient of an artist she was. I thought THIS tune came later but its from 1975.
She is underrated and quite good.
I honestly can't recall hearing this song on the radio ever. But it is still grilled into my mind. The grocery store I worked at while in college used to play soft pop songs from some cassette player that looked like an old 8 track from the 70's. They only had about 3 tapes and most of it was complete dreck and I just tuned out. This song was actually decent and I remember noting the passing time by counting how many times I heard it on repeat. 6 hour closing shift when you were back stocking shelves with no one around was usually 3 or sometimes 4 since the tape was like an hour 40 in length.
I like their version of Wrap It Up from this album too. I've always enjoyed this band's sound, there's a decent new wave base, but the way they integrated the manic sax, and of course Debora Iyall's vocals made them distinct. I know it may not have been for everybody, but I dug it. Too bad their run got cut short for various reasons.89. Never Say Never - Romeo Void - ???
The video spoofs Jean-Luc Godard’s "Breathless.”
Lead singer Debora Iyall’s lack of popularity came down to her looks, or more specifically, her weight. Iyall’s weight pretty much resulted in Columbia Records pulling all support for Romeo Void because she refused to do anything about it when the company confronted her.
Isn't that a great punk thing to do? "Lose weight or we'll drop you." "Fine. #### off."

Empty Garden is a tribute to John Lennon, who was shot to death in 1980 by a deranged fan. Elton John's wordsmith Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, but Elton certainly felt a connection to the song, as he was good friends with Lennon and is the Godfather of Lennon's second son, Sean.@wikkidpissah no worries.

Excellent song.Fantastic song

Elton John's wordsmith Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, but Elton certainly felt a connection to the song, as he was good friends with Lennon and is the Godfather of Lennon's second son, Sean.
In the John/Taupin songwriting partnership, Bernie writes the lyrics first and Elton then puts them to music. When writing for the Jump Up album, Elton had some melodies handy and asked Taupin to write words to those, which he did. Taupin has described those songs as "awful" and said, "It's a very messy album." "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)," however, was written their traditional way with the lyrics first, and Taupin has said that it's the only good song on the album.
Funny how The Who’s “Farewell Tour” was in 1982. And here we are 40 years later.This song sure gets lost in the shuffle of his singles. An outstandiing song.
The Who was one of the worst concerts I've seen. It was at the time where Townsend's solo career was very successful. That was a show they mailed it in.
I saw the 25th anniversary show, 1988 maybe?Funny how The Who’s “Farewell Tour” was in 1982. And here we are 40 years later.
I saw them do the recreation of Tommy in the mid-‘90s. Was just ok.I saw the 25th anniversary show, 1988 maybe?
The Nicholas Roeg/Theresa Russel films are some of my favorites. You also get to see Harvey Keitel and Art Garfunkel at their most depraved.79. Athena/Eminence Front - The Who - September/December
a) Pete Townshend wrote Athena the day after he was knocked back by American actress Theresa Russell. By the time The Who came to record the song for It's Hard, Townshend was married to Karen Astley and Russell had wed another. The guitarist was nervous about publicly naming his crush so he renamed it "Athena."
Roger Daltrey felt that concealing the subject of the song's true identity was a mistake. "Pete was talking to me about Nick Roeg's girlfriend and how he fancied her, and that song was written about her - but then it changed into 'She's a bomb'.
Theresa was some piece back in the day.The Nicholas Roeg/Theresa Russel films are some of my favorites. You also get to see Harvey Keitel and Art Garfunkel at their most depraved.
