DonS 3,067 Posted May 18, 2020 1 minute ago, Strike said: This is blasphemy in some of my circles but "Don't come around here no more" from TP and the Heartbreakers. I focking hate that song. If they wanted to do a cover of "Sweet Dreams" they just should have. And they put it on a "theme" album about their southern roots. God that could have been such a great album if TP hadn't been so loaded up on drugs and met Dave Stewart. That's the one with the Alice In Wonderland video, right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or just "Centerfold" Yeah that song is in the same category as the kid who's father was blind and died and he begged the coach to put him in the game so his father could see him play. Cats in the Cradle is one i hate. Love Harry Chapin's stuff people never heard of like, "A better place to be." But Cats just is awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted May 18, 2020 I was always a huge Kansas fan (Leftoverture is on my top 10 all-time albums list) but they had an MTV hit in the early 80's called (Fight)Fire with Fire. All synthesizered up. Sounded nothing like Kansas. Definitely their worst hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just bringing this up as you might find it interesting being a huge fan but Steve Walsh grew up here(only member from Missouri),in fact at one time he was married to my best friend's Aunt.I'm assuming as a huge fan you're also familiar with his solo work the first being a smash called Schemer Dreamer? Anyhow the song Every Step Of The Way about their struggles making it includes the line, " And from hand to mouth I was livin' playing every bar in town" is in reference to one of the bars just across the state line called The Breezeway that was 18 and older and we used to frequent when young.

No way. That's awesome. Yes, I have that album. Or did. It was on vinyl. I never did replace it with a CD. For a while back in the late 70's, Walsh had one of the best voices in rock. He was awesome.
