What songs from the Firehouse catalog are almost as good as - All She Wrote ?

Post by CanadianMetal »

After not really listening to Firehouse for decades , I decided to give their debut a shot after I got Spotify some time ago .

The song that ended up on my liked song playlist was :
All She Wrote

So for those more familiar with their albums and catalog , what are the song(s) from each of their albums that are almost as good as, All She Wrote ?

'Don't Treat Me Bad" is a classic from the debut, and the title track from Hold Your Fire is great. And their ballads are sappy, but I enjoy them.

The debut and Hold Your Fire are great (minus the cringe inducing sappy ballads)........

I have young teen twins (son & daughter) and recently they started (by their own accord) playing “All She Wrote” when we are in the car , and sing along to it.

Yesterday as I was driving my son to his practice he put an a different Firehouse song called ‘Overnight Sensation’ and it was quite good. So that was the inspiration to make this topic and will listen to your suggestions.

Yeah, the entire first album and this song are their best.

After that…

The ballads from 3.

I love the acoustic record. Great new songs and versions of other songs.

There are 2 hidden gems on the Catagory 5 record…
The Day The Week and The Weather
The Nights Were Young

Loving You is Paradise, Call of the Wild from O2 are cool.

As The Candle Burns…that’s Trixter but most think it’s Firehouse - 5 stars

Sleeping With You- I always listen to that at least 5x in a row when I play it. Reminds me of good time Courtney went live on MTV about good news about the husband
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"
