If you own or have heard any of the above then you know how good they are,if not then I hope you enjoyed them and you can track them down.

Oh BTW glad you really like the Bricklin album which I agree is superb.But my fave Bricklin track has to be Walk Away from the Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure soundtrack and also added as 1 of 3 bonus tracks to the AOR Heaven Classix remaster back in 2012.

Walk Away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrduICZlxFU

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah thats the Bricklin I got to, my favorites are For Her Love and How Come I, So I have a question to you Mr AOR man, I have absolutely been jamming this self titled Boom Crash Opera, but no matter how much I throw it around on here, cant get one person to respond about it, is it that unknown, or has nobody thought it was Hi Tech cause it sounds a little new wave? well ive learned a little new wave ive found some Hi Tech within, whats your thoughts on this band, and do they have anything other then this ST disc I got, and I will check out your list, I have that Surrender disc, thats more of the gigantic overproduced melodic rock that I also love as much, why is it this kind of music is so hard ot find on disc? is it just a matter of the fact it came out in the mid and early 80s, got pressed to disc, doesnt really have all that huge of a following, so it doesnt really get reissued? teach me, and I will jump on some of those bands, thanks bro.

 

 

I had their ST debut album on vinyl but could never get into them, and a mate of mine had their 2nd album These Here Are Crazy Times which I thought was total crap (sorry).They had 3 others I think but I've never heard them so can't comment.

2 Aussie bands I love tho are Avion and Southern Sons.

Avion - White Noise is Fantastic and Southern Sons - Nothing But The Truth is one of my fave pure AOR albums.

 

Avion - We've Got Secrets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h30p8MIG-I

 

Southern Souns - Lead Me To Water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aw1mW4SGDQ

Im still checking shit out bro, you've provided some deep shit, and i discovered one Ive never heard anybody ever discuss, and I tripped on it by shear mistake, and imagine my surprise when I fired up Corey Harts - Boy In A Box, Hi-Tech through and through, Im getting ready to maybe buy EVERY DISC HE'S EVER MADE!! if they are anything like that one, but as soon as Im done checking all these out, I'll go through what ones I loved, which Im sure the one I love the most, will probably be like $800 to buy, right?

[Leykis101]

So, about that The Works album... would he part with it?

 

He didn't say no, but my guess, he's going to look around before he answers, so I cant promise he's not going to try getting the same price out of it, I couldn't believe he didn't automatically cut me off with a NO!

First heard Sunglasses At Night back in the summer of 83 and had to get the First Offense album and instantly became a fan.The follow up Boy In The Box is his best album imho and has that mid 80's hi-tech style.

His following albums are all worth investing your time and money in,just don't be expecting to hear a BITB part 2,quality artist though.

Don't worry about it, brother. I just got it off eGay for $20. You took too damn long, but thanks anyway.

[Leykis101]

Have any of you heard the album by Lamarca? my step dad gave me a cd-r but it definitely recorded off an LP, if anyone knows is this out on CD? and another one he gave me, was like a compilation, and one of the bands on it is called Blizz, now I can only find that this was out on disc, but cant find anywhere to get it, anybody have Blizz they wanna trade mp3's of?

[Leykis101]

HOLY SHIT!! You guys wanna hear something that just blew my fucking mind?? I know it wont you, but I think this is completely fucking awesome, my step dad is a drummer, I mean he is a pretty accomplished drummer, and until he lost his leg in 84, he was a session drummer, guess who I found out he is extremely close with still? Jay Muthafuckin Graydon! now he was surprised I even knew who Jay was, I was completely floored to find out he still speaks to Jay, tell me thats not fucking awesome, well I think at least to 1 or 2 of you that is cool, but I had to tell someone, and lets face it, dont exactly personally know a whole lot of people that even would know who the fuck Im talking about, thats cool.

Shitcotdang! That is pretty fecking awesome. So, how's that album with Randy Goodrum coming along?

[eaglesfan3000]

That Outrider disc is way to poppy for me. Try Beau Coup, Outside Edge, Streets or Strangeways.

stumbled upon Chris Eaton recently, sounds pleasant with very clear vocals and pretty catchy 80's pop tunes. Interesting that he is classified as Christian pop...
