Quite the opposite here! I'm not much of a fan, but I find this beautiful.

Love The Boss.

never heard of this one

reply

Might as well post another one from Bruce ...
I'll Stand By You - https://youtu.be/hwfPtkxF0aA

The song is from the film, Blinded By the Light, which did not do too well at the box office when it was released last August.
It was made by the same director who did Bend It Like Beckham.

I've never been huge on the Scorpions, but they did have a kick ass song called Alien Nation.

Here's some more:

Warren Zevon - Run Straight Down
Ozzy - SIN, Killer of Giants
Guns N Roses - Civil War
Alice Cooper - Desperado, Halo of Flies, Pain
Three Days Grace - I am Machine
Iron Maiden - Judas my Guide
BOC - Nosferatu
Metallica - Whiskey in a Jar (cover)


That's all I got off the top of my head.

reply

Love all these artists.

reply

You, sir, have excellent taste!

reply

you like the heavy stuff.

reply

I do tend to favor the harder stuff, but I do enjoy more mellow or trippy rock music as well. Ill give it a chance as long as it’s rock. But when it starts getting toward the death metal end of the spectrum, that’s where I draw the line because that shit is just ridiculous.

Knopfler songs in his solo albums are quite underrated in general

Love Knopfler.

reply

hmmm... whose music don't you love?

reply

I've got very eclectic tastes - I just really love music of all kinds, but 70's rock is my favourite.

(I'm not a big fan of UB40).

He can keep playing the same song for a quarter-hour and make every minute of it amazing.

reply

A top, top musician!

reply

he sang it with James Taylor

No fan of rock can listen to Sultans of Swing and not marvel at that guy. Similarly, I don’t see how anyone can hear Lights Out and not consider the guitarist for UFO among the upper echelon of rock guitarists.

White Heat - Madonna.

The song that got me into James Cagney movies, White Heat remains among my fave movies to this day and the song is decent too!
