Here's a thread for all those that love Pat Benatar!!! Share our favorite tunes, videos ect.! For those still learning or wish to know more about Pat, pop in and you will get an eye and earful!!

I still remember getting her first album "In The Heat Of The Night" back in 1979...I flipped out! It was Pop, Metal, New Wave...all rolled into one. I had a hard time going between Pat and Debbie Harry!! Fun time for sure!

Little side trivia: Pat was a trained Opera singer. Due to a strict upbringing she would only attend Opera's and Musicals as a kid. She was quoted as saying, ""I was singing Puccini and West Side Story but I spent every afternoon after school with my little transistor radio listening to the Rolling Stones... "

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

Mmmmmm. The girl of my dreams.

I love Pat Benatar. I have a handful of her records.

Her cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" gets me every time. Pat's music was a very large part of my childhood and adolescence. And her voice is just so massive; it demands to be heard.

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

I have her Greatest Hits

pat_benatar.jpg

but this is an artist that I want to delve into greater as she has an amazing vocal. I listened to the debut "In The Heat of The Night" and I agree with Metal that the "Don't Let It Show" ballad is a highlight but the track I can't stop listening to is the Sweet cover:

No You Don't


I didn't know it was a cover until Metal informed me but after hearing the original I like what she did even more! What a powerhouse of a female vocalist! :cheers2

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

Hell Is For Children is a MONSTER cut off of her Crimes Of Passion album!!



That may be on your greatest hits so here is another cool tune from the same album. This was her second album. :grinthumb

The Kate Bush cover that LiL talked about!! Wuthering Heights!!

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

Dude, she's a beast by the end of "Hell Is For Children"! I love it! Her cover of "Wuthering Heights" is spot on as well! Kate Bush is another artist I've explored this year and bought stuff from so saying an artist covers her well is a compliment on my end! :grinthumb

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

:grinthumb GREAT to find a Pat Benatar thread on CRF.......what took us so long to start one on here :bonk:.........sorry Pat .

I agree with all of the comments in the previous posts. Pat has such an awesome vocal range,and as such can produce some truly outstanding rock songs and beautiful ballads. 'Fight it Out' from Get Nervous is awesome. And there are several outstanding tracks on Seven the Hard way. In recent years her gigs have included accoustic versions of some of her hits,and by doing this it really allows the natural beauty of her voice to be heard. Check out some of them on her 'Summer Tour...Live ' cd. I will upload a stunning song that she did at a tribute gig in the 80s.....it is simply amazing!!.


BUT......I do have one question....Why does she never come to see us and do some concerts in the U.K ????:pullhair:.


:cheers2 Bryter.

Re: The Official Pat Benatar Thread!!

^^^ Cool to see another fan!!!! What do you think of the Get Nervous album?? Not many people talk about it outside of Shadows Of The Night...but I thought it was pretty good!!
