I agree that several of the songs would fit in perfectly on Mirage. Sonically it reminds me more of Tango in the Night. But some terrific songs and, as Jeff said, earworms that may never leave our heads.<br /><br />Time to go pull out Mirage...Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863565099476649907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-9521321142520601702017-06-29T04:11:49.396-07:002017-06-29T04:11:49.396-07:00Am I the only one who thinks Robin Zander could ha...Am I the only one who thinks Robin Zander could have replaced John Lennon's vocals in a reformed Beatles?

I&#...Thin Lizzy IS the shizzizzle. No question. <br /><br />I'm always amazed when people refer to Phil Lynott as "a poet." A drunken Irish poet? Who's ever heard of such a thing?!<br /><br />Cheap Trick is also the real deal, and nice guys to boot. When I met Rick Nielsen, he was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Like Cheap Trick, KISS created something new and different from their collective influences, like The Beatles did. It's my belief that <b>that's</b> why both bands have lasted. What are a few fallow years in a 40+ year career? Certainly even the best worker among us have "coasted at work" during times of family strife or personal issues. And we don't have people KISSing our asses every minute of every day to make us believe our second-best is more than enough.<br /><br />I'd include "Lick It Up" among KISS' best (post-make-up) and which out Spinal Tapped Spinal Tap! "Lick It Up" is the song "Smell The Glove" WISHES it was!<br /><br />As always, you have a great blog, Sal! <br /><br />Thanks! - StinkyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-6310725205471605162017-06-27T14:43:50.770-07:002017-06-27T14:43:50.770-07:00I really dog the BNQT album, I even forgive them g...I really dog the BNQT album, I even forgive them giving into the asinine anti-vowel movement, or should I say mvmnt.<br />The Fran Healy songs really stick out for me. <br />The Cheap Trick album certainly rocks, but I don't think the songs aren't as exciting as the playing. <br />I have to agree with you about the Matthew Sweet and the Buckingham McVie. Not a good sign when the lead track is an old Itunes only bonus track from a Lindsey Buckingham solo album.<br />hpunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477690722262677338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-58007415588152872312017-06-27T10:36:25.036-07:002017-06-27T10:36:25.036-07:00That Thin Lizzy song is Fab.That Thin Lizzy song is Fab.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-13798469122557533082017-06-27T08:24:08.933-07:002017-06-27T08:24:08.933-07:00I love "Dynasty" and "Unmasked,&quo...I love "Dynasty" and "Unmasked," as well.

I would classify them as "solid, but otherwise interchangeable".<br /><br />And, for me, KISS goes all the way through "Music from the Elder" -- including Dynasty and Unmasked. And throw in "Revenge" while you are at it. The non-makeup 80's, though (including "Creatures") pretty much bores me.Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-79446027019296467862017-06-27T05:50:20.121-07:002017-06-27T05:50:20.121-07:00The only Matthew Sweet record I really liked was &...The only Matthew Sweet record I really liked was "Girlfriend".buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
