this has been in my head for some reason today. I looked and there is no thread about the band?? really, after all these years? maybe it is so old it got lost in the changes over the years

Decent song. 2nd album was better I think.

I've played the debut to death, so it's my favourite. But the second is great, too. This being one of my favourites:

Within Your Eyes...great tune. Child Of The Wind was my favorite off the debut, with Sometimes At Night and Within Your Eyes coming in a close second. They did a Bon Jovi cover on this debut or, no not Bon Jovi....I'm lazy, I need to go look.

 

It is true, this band should have had a thread earlier.

Sadly, i think GP albums were loaded with too much fillers, but when they wrote great songs, they wrote killers. I think their ballads are the better one

 

Like I said, I played the debut to death, so the ones I originally thought were fillers I grew to love.

    • I'm happy the do different stuff. Otherwise what they do would get old. Tesla proved how easy it is to make and album have a def Lep feel. And I loved that album, as a one off. And I loved slang as well. Variety is the spice of life 😁
    • Ohh nice,hoping the new recent singles will be on this one.
    • New album out September 20th through Frontiers.
    • I agree. Ultimately, I think bands become sort of what they "really" want to become and move toward the "mean" so to speak.  Leppard always said that they wanted to be like Queen in that they weren't constrained by having to make certain types of songs.  It was probably that desire to go outside the box that allowed Pyromania and Hysteria to happen in the first place.   And it's probably what's caused them to jump around with different style songs throughout the years.  I think it would've happened that way regardless.   Who knows though.  Maybe Steve would've influenced things a little bit as his Led Zep and Jimmy Page influences might've trickled in more.  And who knows what could've happened if Mutt stuck around for a couple more albums too....he was probably the most important piece in the puzzle.  They were already changing lanes though even with Steve and Mutt in the fold.  I think they've still shown they're capable of doing more classic sounding stuff if they want to with songs like Promises, Paper Sun, Dangerous, Take What You Want, etc being a few examples.    Either way, I'm just happy they've kept it going for nearly 50 years.  It has to be tough staying inspired and coming up with new song ideas for that long so that's kind of why I think the course they took would've naturally happened either way.  
    • What are the chances...no sooner than I got these from the band that Eonian annouce that they'll be issuing them  https://www.eonianrecords.com/ Their new single - Out Of Touch https://wantedbandofficial.bandcamp.com/track/out-of-touch
