wiffleball 4,788 Posted March 9, 2023 And I guess I'm trying to say, not like the rolling Stones or Who, a Fleetwood Mac, some of the maybe a little bit less known bands? For me, it's night ranger, 38 special and triumph. It just takes me back. Simpler days. Girlfriend who had that hung literally like vomit in a tube sock. And was open to anything. Part of what got me thinking is apparently there's a big '80s revival at Red rocks pretty soon. Anyway, guess just feeling nostalgic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 517 Posted March 9, 2023 Survivor. I listened to the Vital Signs album a thousand times. Police before that and U2 after. I know those are cliché, but it’s true. Also loved Asia’s first two albums. Asia’s debut album was the first cassette I ever bought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, given your man love for Night Ranger, The Damn Yankees fukkin killed it the late 80's - mid 90s Best "Supergroup" evah imo. Your boy Blades from Night Ranger, Tommy Shaw from STYX, Ted Nugent, and a drummer. Their live shows were epic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pimpadeaux 2,404 Posted March 9, 2023 Other bands I'll mention are The Dream Syndicate, The Feelies, R.E.M., Jane's Addiction, Guns 'n' Roses and Metallica. The Dream Syndicate put out an insanely important and classic album called "Days of Wine and Roses." The Feelies put out three great albums in the 1980s but didn't really hit their classic until "Time for a Witness," which I want to say was around 1991. R.E.M. is one of America's greatest bands, and their 1980s albums are all great. Then you have Jane's Addiction and Guns 'n' Roses in the latter half of the decade, plus the stuff Metallica put out then. I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
