"Who did Memphis Hipshake?:confused:"

How could you forget a song that you helped write and record, on a major release? Lol, he was sober at the time too, 'cause he said the only way he and Ian can survive on tour is if they alternate as to who's getting wasted the night of the show.

- WhirlyWhile I know the average listener is not aware of it consciously, it could be because they have about 15 songs with the exact same chord progression. I'd call it embarrassing if it weren't so comical.

An old girlfriend didn't believe me so in the car I sang Fire Woman lyrics(and melody) over 5 or 6 of their songs for her and it blew her mind. Lol.

Which two?? Because they had a long string of hits!I just like the hits....I always just like the hits (except in the cases of Led Zeppelin and the Beatles and lesser known bands like Raging Slab, etc.)

I liked "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" and I liked "Free Your Mind".

But I hated the ham-fisted lyrics to "Free Your Mind".

I liked the guitar riff on that and....just the texture of their voices.


I guess * :confused: * it was Vernon Reid that played "Black Cat" for Janet Jackson",....but, I have this vague idea that Vernon actually did the riffs for "Free Your Mind"....

Queen
The Ramones
The Misfits
Van Halen

There is a ton more I like, I'm just listing my top favorites.

Impossible to list all the talented musicians that were recording or big in the '80's, though there have been some great mentions in this thread. I can't believe no one has brought up Asia. They pretty much carried the torch for Prog-Rock in the early 80's.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Points if you know it :p
