No to both....

 

 

Just wondering why No, as this is a site dedicated to all things Hard Rock, Melodic Hard Rock, AOR,West Coast, Pomp, Southern Rock. Both of these artists definately fall under one or two of those genres.

Is Cher on this site? I'll try to check after this, but as a whole I don't think they should be here, but there's no doubt 'Waking up the neighbours' belongs here, as do a couple of Cher albums... but definitely NOT the entire catalogue of any of these 3 artists. I don't even know if 'Repeat Offender' is worthy of a place here, even if 'Angelina' is an amazing track.

Yeah I'm with you Geoff - I think all of these artists have some HH worthy albums but definately NOT their entire catalogue. I think Bryan Adams up til Waking Up The Neighbours, Richard Marx first 3 albums and if I had my way Paid Vacation, Days In Avalon and My Own Best Enemy would be in there as well. While both of these artists did become most well known for their ballads and yes that damn Robin Hood song, if you go back over their works you will find some top quality rockers in there as well, many of which never got the attention they deserve. Oh and Geoff can you tell me which Cher albums/songs you are refering to and I'll check them out. Anyhow, I just wanted to get some other peoples thoughts on this one so thanks for all the replys. Cheers

 

Hey mate,

 

The 3 Cher albums (shamefully) worth checking out are:

 

s/t (1987)

'Heart of stone' (1989)

'Love hurts' (1991)

 

All of them have Desomnd Child / Diane Warren written all over them and 'Heart of stone' is especially excellent.

Cool thanks Geoff. Well I'm (shamefully) going to check those out. I'm biding on a boxed set which was released through Geffen and contains all three of those CD's. If I can get it for under $20 total I'll be happy.

I did at one time own ONE Richard Marx CD, Ok fine I admit it, so I KNOW How much He sucks now!!!! :rofl2:

 

I got rid of it years ago too, it no longer taints My CD Collection......

 

Ummm-hmm, SUUUUUURE you "got rid" of it (making "air quotes" with my fingers)... you're just sayin' that cuz I'm on the complete opposite side of the country from you so I can't see for myself... I bet you still bust that Mullet Master out once in a blue moon and "air piano" to "Hold On To The Nights" when nobody's listening, don't you Sean? DON'T YOU? DON'T YOU??? WHY must you turn this thread into a HOUSE OF LIES????

 

 

Hey now You can email My sister and ask her.. I gave it to her as I recall... She's been WANTING Me to pass along her email to you for years btw....... :rofl2: :rofl2:

 

Yet somehow I keep forgetting.......

 

Seriously now I don't have that CD anymore.. Honest to God......

Congrats mate, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all for that price.

I think they would both fit, HH has tons of softer westcoast stuff as well as light rock, the first two Marx albums would definately qualify, BAdams first few albums as well, but not albums further into both of their discographys

Just Like Jesse James is such a great song. I could so hear Bon Jovi doing it back in the day.

If I'm not mistaken the backing band for Cher on her 1987 S/T album is actually Bon Jovi (except for JBJ himself), it's a rockin' CD.

 

As for including Bryan Adams and Richard 'Trojan Helmet' Marx, if AOR/melodic rock is part of HH's coverage, yes to both.

Richard Marx and Bryan Adams should be here. They are both AOR/rock. There are lighter fares here and even sappoer songs/songwriting.

If it weren't for that damn power ballad Bryan Adams did for the "Robin Hood" movie I might have said "yes," cuz some of his earlier stuff was actually somewhat rockin' ("Summer of 69," "Cuts Like A Knife," etc.)... but GOD I hate that Robin Hood song!!

 

Yes I'm in total agreement with the Robin Hood song but he should definately be on HH IMO.

:lol: Overall there are about Aerosmith songs I kinda like in the entirety of their collection, and 'I Don't wanna miss a thing' is one of them. Barely.

Was there ever a final decision ? Should we have a separate poll ?? :unsure:

OK I've just done a quick tally of those who have answered so far. The results are:

 

Bryan Adams

Yes=14

No=7

Unclear Response=2

 

 

Richard Marx

Yes=12

No=8

Unclear response=1

 

Majority should win but I realise this is a lost cause...

 

It's been fun to see the argument though!

Give an extra vote to the yes camp on both of them. Cher = NO however. What hypocrisy refusing Adams but allowing Shania Twain and wanting Cher. What next? "Do you believe in love" by cher too?

    • Yes this one's not bad. Have added to my playlist. 
    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
