The Call

[Magic]

The Call, a new wave rock band from the 80's had some pretty decent songs and albums. Some are underrated, IMO. The most memorable song for me is "I Still Believe" off the Reconciled Album. The Call has christian messages at times, as well as political messages. Michael Been, the lead vocalist, is now the sound engineer for his son's band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Anyone else know this band? Any comments?

Missed "The Call", completely, not surprising that was during my hockey/football period, my music took a back seat for a few years, except for after game parties and other nefarious activities.

Best album not including a compilation?

 

[Soot and Stars]

Never heard this group. Not bad but not something I could listen to long term. It sounded like some parts INXs and some parts The Cure.

LG, Reconciled is the most commercially successful album and my favorite. But if you want to hear how diverse the band is, you should get their Debut:



It was never released on CD and the vinyl is out of print, so it is a rare album.

They have a song out that applies to our economic situation. It is one of the most prophetic songs ever made. Blew me away when I heard it months ago, and I put it in my I-pod.

Walls Came Crumbling Down.

Uh, yeah... something like that.

Here's their other most recognizable song, "Let The Day Begin"



I couldn't find a good Y/T vid for "The Walls Came Down", but that's their other big hit.

I remember let the day begin, never really got into their albums though.

Garth Hudson from the Band played on the Walls Came Down. Good tune!
