    Best Hair Metal Band of All Time

    When i first heard and saw the imagery of those Def Leppard videos on MTV, that made a profound impact on me musically. Plus Mutt Lange..... I would add Winger as Honorable Mention. Great musicianship and 'higher-end hairmetal' then just pretty hair.

    Rick Springfield

    Definitely one of the top singers from the 80s. He continues to write and play regularly. I admire that he is a diehard songwriter. He has written some amazing songs even after his 'peak' years.

    Bay City Rollers (Official Thread)

    I've been trying to learn more about this band. I think they are phenomenal. Coming from a 'metal' guy, i really like the bubblegum quality. Especially the vocals. Its great to read about their history. Started in 1966. I was wondering where that music was coming from? What musical influences...

    Disapointment of 2016

    Rolling Stones Mag says these are the top songs of 2016. Talk about disappointment. Its much better to listen to new music over in Europe. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-songs-of-2016-w452313

    KISS ALIVE Vs ALIVE 2

    Thats tough. Both landmark records of all-time. i gave the edge to Alive II. My fave all-time live recording is Van Halen: Live without a Net but that was on DVD. I think that was also magical.

    Top 5 Journey Records

    hey everybody: I've recently been listening to the full Journey library and re-discovering how great this band is. Didn't know they had a different singer earlier. So, was wondering what are your top 5 records and why. I'm amazed with how much they wrote from late 70's up to '86. Thanks.

    Toto (Official Thread)

    Ok, i'll start listening to the first one. I really like 'Hold the Line'. Don't think of them heavy either. According to YT, their debut album went 2X Platinum in US/Canada. g50YoC6cFes

    Toto (Official Thread)

    Me too. I never really listened to them seriously but i've heard 'Rosanna'. Guessing Toto IV was their biggest hit? Shouldn't they be considered more an '80's band' then 70's with the height of their success?

    Which 70's female artist/singer do like better?

    Yeah, 2 great vocalists. I would have to give the edge to Ann as far as vocals alone but i like Pat's songs more overall.

    Boston - Don't Look Back (Rate this album)

    Listened to Third Stage last night. I didn't realize that there was an 8 year gap between that and Don't Look Back. Was it just touring and typical life changes for the long period? Boston were much more forward thinking in production and innovation then most bands of that era. Tom Scholz is a...
