I've stuck to the criteria, 10 songs only in the AOR/Hard Rock genre....

 

HONEYMOON SUITE - Still Lovin' You

TREAT - Best of Me

EUROPE - Superstitious

DARE - Nothing Is Stronger Than Love

BROTHER FIRETRIBE - Wildest Dreams

ATTRACTION 65 - In Another Life

TOTO - Only the Children

WINGER - Without the Night

CLIF MAGNESS - Footprints in the Rain

STANGEWAYS - Everytime You Cry

 

Never heard of this fella before, so I just checked out a few samples. Not my usual taste, very soft, but I'm loving 'It's Only Love' and 'Footprints In The Rain', great songs. 'Jenny's Still In Love' isn't bad either. Another one for the list...

 

Yes a very good Westcoast album....if that's your thang.

Ha, yeah it really is! I don't think much of the rest of that album but for some reason I've never been able to get that song out of my head. There are other Journey songs I love of course.

Might as well have a go at this. Surely the list can change from day to day, but I think a lot of these would stay in my top ten any day.

 

Def Leppard - Pour some Sugar on Me

Steelheart - Everybody Loves Eileen

Dare - We Don't Need a Reason

Tyketto - Wings

Slamer - Not in Love

Skid Row - I Remember You

Mötley Crüe - Wildside

The Storm - Fight for the Right

Wig Wam - In My Dreams

Danger Danger - Bang Bang

WINGER - Without the Night

:bowdown:

Good song, but I have to admit I was surprised to see it on Tim's list. I thought you weren't a fan of this band, mate? To me, good song as it is, I thought it was the weakest of the 3 main "power ballads" on Winger's first 3 discs. IMO:

 

1. 'Spell I'm under'

2. 'Miles away'

3. 'Without the night'

Big House - L.A.

 

I'd put that cd in my top 20 all time faves so anyone who can feature a Big House song in their top 25 is the shit! :drink:

 

While it's not my fav song or album I did like that one a lot back in the day and played the heck out of the cassette I had.

I do like WINGER. I liked "In the Heart..." and "Pull" (and the new one is pretty good too). I'd definitely rate "Without The Night" way above those others though, in fact I like "Who's The One" more than "Spell I'm Under" (from "Pull"). "Miles Away" is just a standard/cheesy 80's ballad that years & years of seeing on albums of SOFT ROCK BALLADS has dulled the impact of. "Without the Night" is their best ever song IMHO.

'Who's the one' is nice, gentle little tune, but you just made me vomit. ;)

Hey Without the Night was in my top 10 first!!! you guys need to direct your comments as to why I have it in my top 10 and not say like?? 91 Suite - Down To You? well that's a good question, and the answer would be, because that song wasnt playing in my head that day, so it is today, so I'll add it to my updated top 10 list!!

 

91 Suite - Down To You

Alien - Brave New Love

Fake I.D. - Heartbreak Moon

 

 

Updated: Thank You

Some of you seem to be having trouble with this, which is perfectly understandable. I suppose one way to look at it would be like 'Desert Island Discs'. Maybe the question would be better phrased as, "If you could only have one CDR from all of your favourite AOR/hard rock songs (e.g. 20 tracks, for argument's sake) what would they be?"

It might take me forever to come up with a list. It's nearly impossible for me to pick 10 of my favorite bands. In many cases it is hard enough for me to pick a favorite song by an artist.

 

I do have a top song of all time and it has held that position for 30 years now:

 

The RUNAWAYS - "Waitin' For The Night"

 

I started another thread because it is easier for me to answer... :bananamac:

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
