Pop ballads and AOR ballads (and even a few hair ballads) are notorious for these: Sweet Sensation's "If Wishes Came True", REO's "Keep on Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling", Firehouse's "Love of a Lifetime", "When I See You Smile", etc.

He's DEAD!

Honor, memory. Close enough for my confused brain right now.

I'd go with "Without Love", and that one's still pretty damn good. Really, the whole album is Jovi at their absolute best. Agreed that "Edge of a Broken Heart" should have been included.

Yeah, there should definitely be a ballad in his honor.

Great talented Grammy-winning sax player. Any fans? RIP, David...

"Heartline" was a fantastic song but he didn't get the momentum to follow it up. Talented bloke, but also responsible for probably the worst production job I've ever heard in my life - Wrathchild's Stakk Attakk. I actually like the title track from Stakk Attakk . And "Heartline"...

The Sweet - "Blockbuster"

I give the nod to 1980 as the greatest year in popular music, and I was 16 years old. The greatest year in popular music is always the year when you were 16... That would be 1999 for me. Definitely not! Lol 1998 for me. "Gettin' Jiggy Wit' It", "My Heart Will Go On", "The B...

"She Don't Know Me" and "Only Lonely" are both underrated early Jovi tracks.

I'd say about halfway through '82 up until the end of '92 was the golden era of music for me. 1984 had OOTC, Stay Hungry, Love at First Sting, Tooth and Nail, etc., as well as plenty of good pop/new wave music, so I'd say it's at least one of the greatest years of the 80's.

I voted Bach, but he has as much chance of returning to SR as pigs have of sprouting wings and flying.

She can carry a tune, but it was average. When I think of actors who are legit musicians, the only current one I can think of off the top of my head is Jared Leto (30 Seconds to Mars). I know he's polarizing, but the musical career is not a vanity project like Kate or Keanu's Dogstar...or Steven Se...

Korn. "Freak on a Leash" is a nu-metal classic. Close second would be Limp Bizkit for "Nookie" and "Break Stuff".

McClintock always has the best mashups! This one is just perfect!

Trixter's debut is great cheesy hair metal. Great story from Steve!

The correct answer is, as mentioned above, Whitesnake for WS87. Kingdom Come would be a close second, though. Honorable mention to Blue Murder's debut as well.

If you consider the concept/reality of benefiting from and contributing to systemic racism/“white privilege” as the wokies call it, then yes, you are absolutely 100 percent correct. This coming from a proud honkie.

Dr. Hook - "Sylvia's Mother"
Paul Simon - "Mother and Child Reunion"
The Scream - "Father, Mother, Son"
Tears For Fears - "Mothers Talk"
Bad 4 Good - "Mother of Love"

Helluva lot better than those scummy gay men that probably hang out at our local dive bars.

Not perfect, but very healthy.

And Thralldemonsweatlive in ‘93 with that classic live version of “Mother”. My first exposure to Danzig as a young lad.

Nah, Ashba seems more like Mattley’s type.

I like ‘em: “School of Hard Knocks”, “Chains Around Heaven”, “Hold on to 18”, and “Miss Mystery” are all great, and the Without Love title track is pretty solid as well. But yeah, other than that, B’n’B were fairly generic and inspired bands that did what they did a bit better.

I opened this thread hoping for some hair metal-themed parody of MLK Jr.’s famous speech. I was sadly disappointed.

After eating one Macdonalds meal I feel awful. Can't imagine how bad i would feel eating it for 30 days straight. Dmbrocker want to chime in? I'm sure you've had Macdonald for 30 days in a row in your lifetime. No, actually. Besides, if I were gonna binge on fast food for 30 days straight, I’d chan...

Years of tequila consumption will probably do that to you.
