People forget how much fun Night Ranger's first two albums were. First concert I evar went to was Tesla opening for Night Ranger at the Concord Pavilion
Saw Europe open for Def Leppard at the Shoreline in 1988. Lep was great, Europe was nothing special
I like Leppard. Europe never did it for me. They had that once song they played the shit out of on the radio. Hated it.
Didn't Tommy Shaw really hate that strummy ballady shit?
That's what he claims when it's convenient for him. More like he didn't like having to sing about robots when I told him to because I had all the #1 hits and he had all the #10-35 hits.
He wrote fucking Boat on the River and many of his 'rockerZ' weren't particularly stellar.
I respect Tommy as a songwriter, singer and teen idol, but you know your place Tommy and it's not in the driver's seat.
The Police lyrics thread got me thinking of a new idea for a shitty YellowSnow music snob thread /pole.
With that said, what is a band or artist that you think is outstanding and amongst the all time greats that most (i.e., < 81%) here think suck?
For me it's the Grateful Dead which are my all time favorite American rock group. But from what I can gather over the past 1.5 years of research we have no other Dead fans and most are either meh or hate them outright.
The wife and her best friend are huge dead fans. I honestly had zero interest until I saw them live. I can only imagine how much better they must have been before their current line up.
Stevie Nicks and Don Henly "Leather and Lace." If I could turn one woman's voice into a vagina and fuck it, I'd pick Stevie Nicks.
This song made my all time play list
I had a vinyl collection , a CD collection and now I'm downloading my all time play list. Around 300 songs
Its not really bout what is greatest - songs from the 60's and 70's hardly make it since i have heard them thousands of times.
It songs I am not burned out on that I still enjoy when fucked up.
I hear you on the burn out factor of songs you've heard too many time (and for more decades than many of us). The great thing about today's streaming technology is I'm still finding recordings by the 50's, 60's and 70's that I had no idea of 20 years ago in college.
I still love Paint it Black even though I've listened to it thousands of tims. I can remember the first time my father played his vinyl copy. To me, it's a song that was so ahead of it's time and the production still holds up to contemporary music.

Jerry Garcia was the Grateful Dead. No Jerry, no Dead; it's just some surviving members who love touring and god bless 'em, but it's not the same. I never got to see them live before he died in '95. I would have had to catch them on tour when I was in HS and I was a sheltered SLOW STRATEGY kid who probably wouldn't have been a good fit at Dead show. By college I would have been fine and smoked weed and talked shit.

threefourteen hours watching youtube videos.Here's one that will get no play but absurdly good. The blonde gave me a boner in '91. Still does.
Andrew Strong is a beast.
I love Def Leppard. I only started listening to then this century so its still kind of new
I spent the 80's listening to funk and dance music
