Shall we not forget ABBA? Still love 'em to this day.
A classmate turned me on to KISS, both old and '80's back in middle school.
I'd hafta tell the truth and say that my first concert, well I was dragged along by my folks, was Captain & Tennille. "Muskrat Love" anyone?
The Carpenters come to mind.

80's music my friend, 1983 to be specific, those guys won a ton of Grammys for that album. Them and Chrisopher Cross a couple of Grammys biggest mistakes next to Milli Vanilli
Now Meat Loaf, there was an artist! him and Jim Steinam wrote some great teen angst songs and he still can do it. I was in Cambodia a couple of years ago and was watching this special on Aussie TV on the making of Bat Out Hell, apparetnly Meat Loaf was huge down there before hitting it big in the states. Can our Aussie posters confirm that?
Trivia question: The woman who sang with him on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" she was known for something she did on tv, what was it? |

Meat Loaf and Jim Steinem... genius... Bat out of Hell was a smash.... 10 years later (?) Bat out of Hell 2 was also a smash...
Meat Loaf was in the movie Rocky Horror... he's also a pretty good actor.
Chris Cross? isn't he a homeless, street bum now? if not, he should be!
Captain and Tennile: muskrat love is the worst song ever recorded...
what's next?
a thread on Rick Dees and his cast of Idiots? |

The guy used to play piano in a texas restaurant for a living. I'd hope he saved more than a couple decades worth of whatever 4-figure income he was making then. |

| Don't know about Aus, but in NZ, I bought 'Bat out of hell' in 1977/78. Still one of my all time favourites, and yeah, Jim steinman was a good producer and even had a great song 'Rock and Roll Dreams' which Meatloaf covered. |

(somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m...........)
It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far |
Yeah I know it was 1982, but who the hell cares!

Your tone, as usual, is dismissive. What' wrong with nostalgia? Only a die-hard cynic would criticize or avoid it. Hey, that sounds like you!
You can sneer all you want: we who lived that era to the fullest will only pity you.

Hey, you're not stuck in the '70s; you're reveling in it. Don't be so hard on yourself. |

wife remembers when he used to live in the neighborhood she grew up in, in Austin; he played a lot of places there and is one of the "sucess stories" of the Austin music (not like Willie or SRV more like Timbuk3) |

Don't have time now, but wanna pop up my hand and say, "Me, too!"
1967 - 1978... or so... Been a few decent songs since and before, but... pound for pound... those were the true golden days of R 'n R.
Anyone recall Grand Funk Railroad? |

Of course, I still have this album back at my moms house in storage:
Favorite song: Closer to home (I'm your captain)
| Quote: |
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.
Ive been lost now, days uncounted,
And its months since Ive seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone.
If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
So, please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.

Mark Farner in interviews said this song "came to him" early one morning while sipping coffee in his Michigan farm house. He also said it was about the vietnam vets returning home from the way. This song was recorded in Cleveland and orchestra was conducted by Tommy Baker.

Jim Carroll Band
People Who Died
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9RUge55cKE
Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine
Refrain:
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died / I miss 'em--they died
Repeat Refrain
Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
And I salute you brother/ This song is for you my brother
Repeat Refrain
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly . . . Tony died
Repeat Refrain:
Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous,
but it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
by the very same bikers |
