I challenge anyone to not like that song.

Great driving tune!

Nothing like sitting at a set of lights, music cranked, me singing, and other drivers going WDF

Welcome to my world I pity anyone who has to drive with me...

I'll put in another vote for Yes. 90125 is a great album and not only because of "Owner with a Lonely Heart". Progressive rock = awesome.

I'd respectfully like to put in a vote for the 70s incarnation of Yes. Fragile is a great album.

I like Yes as well.

One of my favorite Yes tunes, and certainly one that you'd never hear on the radio.

Slick video I like the painting effect - 80s videos are great!

The fact that this thread title just screams "Thin Lizzy", and nobody has mentiones them in three pages, makes them the winner in this gategory. Bunch of great songs and a killer live act.

Asia could also fit in this gategory

Blue Murder for sure, everyone know whitesnakes self titled album, but after John Sykes had made most of those songs for Coverdale, David decided to fire him. So he formed this supergroup and made 2 more albums of that great stuff.

Don't know if you would consider this classic but it certainly is good...
Barney Bentall, he went 9 years in between albums, he's got a lot more good music unavailable on You Tube...



^ tell me you don't like this.

Yes - An incredibly talented band
Asia - "Heat of the moment" a song that still makes me hum
J Geils band - "Angel in the centerfold" is still in my mind one of the top ten theme songs
Heart - They rocked harder then the elevator music that was being manufactured at the time.
The Pretenders - I swear she was born a dude
Genesis I liked them better with Peter Gabriel, but they were an amazing band
Triumph - Didn't get much play, but I contend that Rick Emmit is one of the top ten guitarists of his day. Just listen to the Canadian release of Rock and Roll Machine with a 15 minute guitar solo.
Payolas - I love this band a lot. And one of my favor songs is still "Where is this love"

Wow Barney Bentall and the legendary hearts, I had forgotten about them, but they were an amazing live band especially in a bar setting.

George Thorogood and the Deleware Destroyers was another band with a great bluesy influence.

Oh yeah! I knew I forgot someone. "It Must Be Love" always reminds me of my childhood summers in the 1980s...I'm not sure why. I just love hearing it. I remember reading up on the Payolas and apparently, they played the Coke Stage a bunch of time during the Stampede in the 1980s. Of course, I was only a five or six years old, but how I wish I could've seen some of these bands live.

I'm enjoying this thread. It really got my iPod going.

That was the first band to pop into my head when I read the thread.
