Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

[Holbert71]

Show some love for The Cult. This was a big milestone album for them. Sonic Temple was the main album I listen to in the 80's as a teenager while in to bmx freestyle.

I honestly don't like any songs by them, except this one, which I freakin' love! Is it the influence of Bob Rock? We may never know...

Gwen Stefani (EDIT: it was 'No Doubt', thanks @TSJMajesty ) did a good cover of this song, but IMO 'Talk Talk' can't be topped.

Here's one more bit 80s awesomeness by 'The La's', and I'm about to go and post the 'Boo Radley's' cover in the 90's thread!

Great tune!! I love both versions. (I believe it was No Doubt, not her as a solo artist though, that did the remake.)

Yes! You are correct. Let's face it though, she was no doubt 'No Doubt'!

You can defiantly tell on sonic temple they strayed away from what I call the punk thing to more rock thing. the guitar tone and technic got way better on this album. something changed for the better for sure.

Up the Irons!

 

[Holbert71]

Can't forget Firehouse.

 

[Holbert71]

And Whitesnake.

Can't forget Firehouse.

Believe it or not, this is actually a 90s song (1991).

It just caught my eye because I posted it in the 90s thread the other day.

Too bad these guys are only known by most Americans for 'In a Big Country' as they have lots of great tunes. This is one of my favorites.

Debatable.

I was fresh out of basic training in the Navy in 1986 when a dude turned me onto The Cult. Sooo cool!

Bob Rock ruined more than one band. Just ask some Metallica fans.

Need some Police!

“Soar-ry”

I always thought that Mike Reno was an underrated vocalist! That guy has a great range and pitch!

Another incredible song by Floyd Rose's old band, Q5. I can't believe I didn't discover them until a few years ago:

My favorite Dream Theater song, from 1989:



Not a fan of Charlie Dominici, but I like him more than James LaBrie. Most of all, I just love Kevin Moore!
