They didn't write it but Fair Warning gave the song to Bon Jovi because Fair Warning's album was scrapped. I'm not sure if they ever recorded it but it's more Bon Jovi 's tune than Fair Warning's. But it is the only song they've never written. I guess it's never been preformed live since the mid 1980s

I think that's probably the biggest problem - making assumptions on stuff you've not heard. Like I said, some really cool stuff in there. Warrant's version of 'We will rock you' is absolutely killer. And I'm pretty confident that Jani Lane wasn't gay too.

 

Funnily enough, my biggest hope is that my kids won't follow Christ, lol. 100% dead serious, though. Second is probably that they learn to love surfing as much as me. That'd be awesome. I'd be filled with joy if we shared a love for awesome music, but if I'm being totally honest, it's really not overly important to me in the scheme of things. My wife and I couldn't have more opposite music tastes if we tried. My brothers and I are worlds apart musically, as is my friend and I. Never been an issue. Would be cool if my children loved good music and I'd love for it to turn out that way, by I have my doubts and it won't really impact me.  

True, and I already knew that was your biggest hope anyway  I don't dislike Queen because of Freddie I dislike Queen and Freddie only makes it worse. But anyway I said that WWRY annoys me regardless of the singer.

Top 20 BJs?

Dennis Cameron 

Rex Carroll 

Bob Hartman 

Jimmy Page 

I'll also think of more as they come to me 

What's the absolute worst dream you can remember ever having? Mine was just a few weeks ago, but I'll only share it if someone else shares theirs. 

 My biggest hope other than my kids (if I ever get them in the far distant future) following Christ is that they learn to love the good music.

Like I said, there's plenty of good stuff on my list. If you don't like stuff like Dancing in the dark - Bruce Springsteen, One Summer - Daryl Braithwaite, Cautious - Emarosa, Elevator Love - Guy Sebastian, Take me back - Noiseworks, Don't you worry child - The Poodles, Jet lag - Simple Plan, Lead me to water - Southern Sons, The Antidote - Story of the Year, Had to get to you - Wolfclub and We will rock you - Warrant then you're missing out on some awesome stuff. A lot better than 'Footloose,' I can assure you of that.

 

 

That's completely opinion, and several people have tried to switch my opinions around- it's impossible. Besides, We Will Rock You annoys me no matter who's singing it and I don't even know any of the other songs besides Dancing In The Dark. I have a cousin who's 6 and if she's in my room (at her home it's Old Town Road & country and pop) but in my room it's rock obviously and she seems happy enough, and the only way my kids would know anything different is if my husband liked music other than me and they hung around him more than me. A list of the songs she says she likes when she's in my room 

All I need to know - Foreigner 

Love has taken its toll - Foreigner

Show no mercy - Bride

Sight unseen - Petra 

A little love - Angelica 

Seventeen - Foreigner 

Woman in black - Foreigner 

You are loved - Altar Boys

Out of the blue - Foreigner 

Dance - Petra 

Destiny - Petra 

Small town - John Mellencamp 

Hey world - Petra  

You are I am - Petra 

First love - Petra 

Sweet child o' mine - Guns N Roses 

Eye to eye - Whitecross 

Second wind - Petra

A friend like u - Geoff Moore and the Distance 

With or without you - U2

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum 

Of course her favorite song is Dirt on my boots or Shut up and dance but in my room that's what she tells me she likes and I've heard her singing the songs other than my room   So I can say if you don't know or like the above stuff, you're missing out!!

I also have to emphasize, that for me personally, cheesy is not necessarily a bad thing at all. It all comes down to the quality of the song.

………A Good Cheesy

perhaps we should change the word cheesy for cringy

cos that's what some ballads are

 

Which 9/10 is actually opinion

lol. they all hate my music. just give me withering looks 

Aw, that's too bad. I can't fathom liking the music Geoff listed for his kids. I don't think I ever will. And how come the music changed so drastically over the past decade? And why is it almost a given that they like it and hate the old? I just don't understand.

I dunno. I think part of it has to do with sincerity, or at least convincing me of sincerity. When I hear "I Still Think About You" and "Love of a Lifetime" I believe the authors mean the words they are singing. And so then I believe them when I sing them myself. But it can also be the music. Stryper suffers on both ends, unfortunately. 

Yeah sincerity definitely matters. 

Gosh Geoff I'm sorry for you. The only good songs you get to listen to are Footloose, and… footloose. 

My kids aren't listening to Trash when they're around me. I'm thinking that when I get kids I'm gonna have good music on all the time and they'll grow to like it. I seriously go crazy if I can't have music on or there's a terrible radio on. Why don't you just turn the classic rock radio on Glen? When my little brother asks, my mom sighs and says okay, since she likes it quiet, but then it goes on that radio- never has it been pop. That's what my cousins listen to in theirs (pop) and it drives me nuts, but of course I don't say anything.

"First Love" ring a bell? That is Chessy City!

Ahhh chessy city is my favorite. First Love isn't exactly what I would call cheesy, just boring. I still like it but it's sure boring. I'm cleshae but I love "Honestly", cheesy or not. Idk if "Lonely" is a ballad, but it's a heck of a great song! 

32 minutes ago, Darkstone said:

Of course, "cheese" can be found in songs other than ballads

Yes The Final Countdown as a good example 

I guess what does Cheesy even mean to you exactly - to me it's very, probably synthesized, maybe the singer is very 'R'ry with his R's, and the words are extremely cheesy. Lots of keyboards stuff like that. When I See You Smile is pretty cheesy, but a really good song.

Warrant's "Heaven"?

Heaven is a good song!

Me either. Most of it is pretty samey. And Michael's vocals get a little overdone and annoying at times now.

Yeah, the deep that comes with age doesn't go well with his high voice 😂

I love "Carrie". It's cheesy but catchy memorable cheesy. 

I guess everybody has a different definition of Catchy, but yeah- that's what I call a good cheesy

I prefer the older Stryper to the newer stuff. 

I really think they did a good job of reinventing themselves when they came back. Thunderously heavy while still maintaining those melodies. 

I don't like it as much though.

We're gonna have to disagree on this.

Alright then. People say Stryper gets better with age- I Strongly disagree. Sorry is alright, but no way are they better with age. Anyway, yeah, we're gonna have to disagree

Nope. "Carrie" is great. 

You want cheese? Stryper's ballads pre-Against the Law are pure American cheese. 

Carrie is great, still cheesy though. Same for Stryper  What I call a good cheesy.
