Crazysam

Although it seems an obvious choice, I'll use the which one of these is not like the others approach, and say Kenny Rodgers is someone you haven't seen in concert

These guys have been around for just a couple of years. This is my favorite track from them so far, it has a very soulful, smooth sound.

A few off their most recent album Back to Zero if you haven't already heard them...

New song from these guys, sounds pretty good

Warrant - Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich Dynazty - Sultans of Sin Dokken - Back for the Attack Hotwire - Face Another Day Mitch Malloy - S/T Pretty Maids - Spooked

oh man, that was great stuff, especially the Off White Limousine track, thanks for posting

That Carousel album was pretty good from what I recall, I am pretty sure I have it on cdr, hearing that song has me wanting to dig it out and give it a listen

Never heard these before, I liked it, thanks for sharing

I'll admit to being an idiot on this one as well. Great song, and I like both, but I prefer the Bonfire version.

Interesting stuff, I didn't know the guys from No Doubt were still making music

In my top 20 albums from 1992

Thanks for posting, nice tunes, although I will admit my interest lessened a little as I went through each of them from Sick Again (my fave) to The Departure (liked the least)

Agreed, some really good songs, of which I'd include the title track, but also a few that I usually skip when playing the cd

Street Talk

Only listened to that first one, Let Down. It is catchy, but It sounds like the Jonas Brothers reunited and brought in a guitarist from a metal band to harden up their sound. I'll pass on these guys

These guys are pretty cool. I recall hearing Wonderful Life a few years back and thinking it was a song from the '80's. While I tossed around different band names that I thought it sounded like, from that era, my friend just laughed and told me it was a new band (at that time). I've never picked any of their cds up, but I may have to check out more from them, good stuff.

I remember seeing the video for Virtual Insanity after a few years of mostly depressing alternative and grunge being on the radio and thinking the 70's funk/disco style sounded fun, upbeat and refreshing. After my girlfriend, at the time, played it repeatedly I quickly tired of it. Had the post not mentioned these were new songs I'd have thought they were off that same album from back in 1996. Unfortunately nothing from this new one sounds as catchy as Virtual Insanity. Not bad for putting on at a party but probably wouldn't be something I'd listen to outside of that.

Thanks for sharing all this. I really enjoy finding out about and hearing songs from these bands that played in your area back then. It is one of my favorite threads on the forum. Makes me wish I'd have kept more stuff.

Not bad. I recall liking their debut, but haven't heard to much from their last couple. Still surprises me that the band was formed by members of the AOR band Street Talk. Glad to see they stabilized things with their revolving vocalist spot, Urban Breed (great), Michael Bormann (who I like, but didn't fit) and now this guy for the last few.

good tune

I will say The Bang Gang, they had a pretty short run and were a bit more obscure when compared to most of the artists on your list

Good stuff, I always wondered why this didn't develop into something more than just demos at that time.

I liked a lot of new wave acts back in the '80's, and although the sax solo was a nice touch, I thought the track itself was a little boring

Them by PFR is a good album, but I've unfortunately not heard many of those other Christian rock albums from '96. The vocals on that Mortification song were too extreme for me though.

Jorn sounds excellent as always, as for the songs, both sounded pretty good to me
