Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

[la szum]

Riverdogs from the !st album, the single, "Toy Soldier" and the albums epic closer, "America." Rob Lamothe's killer voice/songs with Vivian Campbell.

What a great band that also got "grunged." Talk about bad timing.

A few of these did great acting perforances I recall: ie: Dwight Yoakam in "Slingblade", Cher in many movies of course but I'm thinking of "Mask" in particular. A fav of mine is Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band) who did a fantastic job playing Silvio Danté in The Sopranos with no prior acting experience.

One of my fave movie scenes. So good. So damn accurate, too.

Great shout! Their last album is EPIC! They still deliver.

Guilty pleasure. Not sorry.

The production is still amazing.

Maybe my favourite album of the 80s. This is a truly timeless work. Daniel Lanois's
production along with Peter being at the peak of his creativity and skill. I'll never get
tired of listening to So.

Tony Levin's bass work on the record is perfection!

Continuing with the "one in a million" lyrics.

Some catchy Southern Rock??





Check out the killer Gibsons. Donnie Van Zandt is now fronting Skynyrd. In the middle on the stage in the video.

So many 80's songs are driven and glued together with some great bass playing. Is it
becoming a lost art???

Nice pick. Too many songs to list here, so here's my offering from 1984:

One of the first bands I played in after getting out of the military in my
early 20s was fronted by a woman and we played that song. It was literally
my favourite song to play in the band. So. Much. Fun.

Yeah, we did the same thing. It was fun playing Heart, Pat Benatar, and songs that were out of our vocal range, but she was hot, and 3 guys in the band were elbowing each other to become more than bandmates with Sevesty (what a name!), and it tore the band apart.
