Loverboy was one of the most commercial mainstream rock bands of the early 80's. How would you rate thier s/t debut from 1980 on a scale of 10?

Re: Loverboy

I voted Good. I just read about them being booed off the stage when they opened a show for Kiss in Vancouver '79 after the third song. I seen them open for ZZ Top in '80 & Kansas the same year & they were over big with the crowd. I was impressed at how well a band with the name of Loverboy worked the crowd at those shows.

Wikipedia has them beginning in 1980 but I read they opened that show for Kiss in November of '79 & that was in the Kiss Book 'Alive Forever' which lists every show,every date, & every opening band Kiss ever had

Re: Loverboy

Poor. This album was one of the reasons why rock music was stagnet in the 80's IMO. I lump this album into the "Camaro rock" catagory.

Re: Loverboy

I VOTED good..it 's a bit outdated sounding nowadays..

but it is good descent basic rock ..it makes me think of school ..hanging out after football games /school band/choir trips/ and fun 80's memories whenever I hear their songs :):)

so I give them credit for that much :)


Yes This Video is a boat load of 80's cliche fashions RED leather/headbands/ewww lol=fun tho !
