MikeCMM Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'll confess I ran right out and bought "Q:Are we not Men? A: We are Devo" on vinyl the next day after seeing them on SNL. I also have "Freedom of Choice" on vinyl and another album whose name esacpes me. I now have them on CD. Like I said before, the 80's were a blur. I'm gonna say you have " Duty Now For the Future " which was their second album. "The day my baby gave me a surprise" was on that one along with their version of "Secret Agent man." Most of their stuff I have floating around the house on cassette and I know somewhere I do have "Freedom of Choice" on, dare I say it, 8 track. All I have on CD is their greatest hits but I'll change that one of these days. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 A few more hairbands from the late 80s and early 90s with one or two hits. It seems many of these bands had their biggest hits with ballads, although their heavier stuff was often pretty good: Europe "The Final Countdown", "Carrie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZkllM8znx4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj1JXL-zvyw...feature=channel Warrnat: "Cherry Pie" "Heaven" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdDxz2bkfhE...feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o31RG4vCGQ Twisted Sister: "We're not gonna take it" "I wanna rock" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBkSwOMmNIs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0sS9djSST4...feature=related Firehouse: "Love of a Lifetime" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0sS9djSST4...feature=related Alias: "More than words can say" Bad English: "When I see you smile" "Price of love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDgkg7lbMgg&feature=fvst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrakalas427 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Going back to my roots of the 60's...Jimmy Page and Robert Plant hooked up as The Firm doing Radioactive. Not quite...Paul Rodgers of Bad Company was the lead singer in The Firm and sang "Radioactive". Robert Plant began his solo career in 1982 and later formed a band called "The Honeydrippers" with Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck and covered "Sea of Love".

Maxhenry Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Completely derailing the topic, but it concerns 80s bands: the magazine National Lampoon used to run a "True Facts" section, which was pictures readers would send in. The best one I ever saw was from the concert sign for the Garden State Arts Center in NJ, which read: SQUEEZE THE HOOTERS I wonder if anyone ever posted that to the internet.
