Sheriff - When I'm With You

[avvie]

okay, first off, Thomas Dolby released a new album just this year. It's pretty good but IMO not quite up to par with "Astronauts and Heretics". And I was under the impression that anyone who was a serious musician had to own a copy of "Aliens Ate My Buick" by federal mandate. They got so hard to find that I traded a compressor pedal for the vinyl.


Second: The Lords Of The New Church "Method To My Madness" was the last rock and roll album ever made in the 80's...and possibly the only one.

Yeah, Aliens Ate My Buick is definitely in my top 10 of all time. Whenever I see a copy on CD I buy it and give it to a friend. I'll have to check out his latest.

Danger Danger's second album "Screw It" for me is almost perfect arena cock rock!

Tora Tora is a really cool band. Their whole first album had some great blues rock. And cooler ballads than the average hair band.

Fastway is a British rock band formed by guitarist, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, formerly of Motörhead, and bassist, Pete Way, formerly of UFO. In 1983, both players had been disgruntled with their own bands and decided to work together in a new outfit. They recruited drummer Jerry Shirley, formerly of Humble Pie, and the then unknown vocalist Dave King. They took their name from a combination of the founding members' names. However, Way then discovered that he could not escape from his recording contract with Chrysalis Records, and then received a tempting offer to play for Ozzy Osbourne, so abandoned the project. Bringing in session bassist Mick Feat, the band then recorded their debut album, Fastway.

Love Fastway!! The soundtrack for the movie Trick or Treat was also a great one by them.

Here is a very obscure one. I remember when the song came out-the identity of the band members was an unknown for several years, I think it was figured out later to be a group of studio musicians. This song got a fair amount of airplay in the Detroit area in the early 80's and I have always loved the dominance of the bass line...

A few forgotten 80s songs by the same guy. Danny Wilde scored a few solo hits in the 80s as well as wrote songs for others. He also was in the bands Great Buildings, The Quick, and formed The Rembrandts with Phil Solem and had several hits including That's Just The Way It Is and I'll Be There For You (also the theme for the TV show Friends)

This artist, Mike Grosvenor, is from Barbados. Still active, I think. The record's from '82 or so. One of the most amazing grooves ever.

Here is an obscure but really cool band from Atlanta, Art in America. The album was produced by Eddie Offord (Yes, ELP) and Steve Morse was a guest on guitar.

Bourgeois Tagg - I Don't Mind At All

[Unprofessional]

I can't think of the 80's without The Sherbs (Australians formerly Sherbert). These two songs just scream 80's to me and I always liked Tony Mitchell's bass tone:

I Have The Skill - 1980

We Ride Tonight - 1982

Billy Satellite - Satisfy Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAQ7u-6UDjs

Danny Chauncey, who is now with .38 Special, was in this band. They also did the original version of I Wanna Go Back, which was later a hit for Eddie Money when Chauncey played in his band.
