Oh yuck. I guess for what it is it's kinda cool in a play that funky music white boy kind of way, and because I like this dude as a singer. But jeez, Dezza - if I can call you that - can we please just concentrate on Babylon AD, please.

[Nightrain]

Even with the most open-minded approach, one can only rate this around 65% top,

i guess Derek better comes into his right sense and start making some new Babylon AD music asap

[The Rocker]

What he said!

[AlphaMale]

Yeah, that's not good at all.

 

Babylon AD!!!

Love Soul. Love Funk. Love Rock. So I'll give it a listen when I'm home.

I'm not a huge fan of this style, but I actually really like this CD.

There is some really catchy stuff on it, just need a few listens.

I would have rated my all time favorite song a 4 or 5 when I first heard it.

After a few more listens obviously it's a 10 for me.

Your absolute single favourite song of all time? Which one is that?

Probably not, but this guy is curious. I have to admit I misinterpreted the post and assumed your favourite song ever was from this new album, but I understand now, but am equally curious.

Dangerous Toys - Cure The Sane?

 

 

I do like that song, obviously.

I also like what it says. So many people trying to conform rather than being themselves.

 

But for whatever reason, my favorite song is Until You Suffer Some by Poison

Long story to do with the film clip and where i Was at that point in my life.

But also the hooks and melodies etc

 

Some others that are up there would be

Believe - Stryper

Love (I Don't Need It Anymore) - Union

Halfway To Heaven - Eurpoe

Take The Dog Off The Chain - Babylon AD

Turn It On - Danger Danger

Tales From The Boogieman - Jester

You Are The One - Hair Of The Dog

Wanna Be The One - Haywire

Hard To Be A Rock'N Roller - Wig Wam

Touch - Bad City

Face Down - Hot Action Cop

Love Song - Tesla

Love Is A Lie - Great White

So Easy - De Mont

Stronger Now - Warrant

 

I could go on, but I'll stop there and copy & paste that list to be the start of a new compilation disc.

Can't remember the last time I went and made one of my favorite songs...

Ha, why would you think I wouldn't like the Poison song? Poison were my favourite band of all for a massive portion of my life, and would definitely still be right up there. I have a massive place for them. And yeah, I preferred them with CC but I absolutely love that song. One of my absolute faves too.

 

A few oddballs on the other list, but some cool stuff. I guess the biggest curveball was 'Turn it on' by D2. Of all their songs, that's your favourite? Really? For me, that'd be in the bottom 5 songs, I think, from the Ted era of D2. It's a cool, simple and very basic song, but for me there was a tonne better in their discography.

[shamus]

Can't get the vids to work so I will have to reserve judgment but if the funk/soul vibe is akin to Circle of Soul (one of my all time favorite bands), count me in. Can't see it being so terrible that I would avoid purchasing it anyway as I am a huge Babylon A.D. fan.

 

Cool list of songs, Cure. Nice to see Haywire get some love and I mentioned in another thread that when put on the spot for an answer I counted Stronger Now as my favorite song of all time. And while I really like Turn it On, I'm with Geoff here. Just too many D2 songs I love that much more.

[CureTheSane]

 

Ha, why would you think I wouldn't like the Poison song?

 

 

 

'Turn it on' by D2. Of all their songs, that's your favourite? Really? For me, that'd be in the bottom 5 songs

 

 

Illuminati confirmed!

 

haha, not really just giving you shit because more often than not we disagree on many songs.

 

I live S/T and Screw It!

Remember I come from less of an AOR perspective, so while Feels Like Love and One Step From Paradise etc are awesome songs, and I love listening to them, the songs that really hook me in are the ones with harder edges, and Turn It On is a party anthem.

For me it just tips out the others as a stand alone D2 song on a compilation..

Yeah, the videos aren't available on my mobile, and I'm guessing they're locked for us Canadians. I'll have to do some DNS majik on my compy.

You mean like the entire 'Screw It!' album?

 

To be honest mate, I love their harder edge as much as / if not more than their AOR side too. Poison and Danger Danger are probably my favourite two US bands of all time so I adore everything they do (well, Poison before 'Crack a smile').

 

'Turn it on' is a cool song. Very pleasant and nice to the ears. Safe, but good. But when looking for favourite tunes, I couldn't put it in front of monsters like 'Beat the bullet,' 'Crazy Nights,' 'Don't blame it on love,' 'Rock America,' 'Feels Like Love' and the like. So many perfect songs to choose from.

 

And was it you who didn't like 'Cockroach?' But throw that into the mix, with the likes of 'Goin' goin' gone,' 'Afraid of love,' 'Don't break my heart again,' etc... So many super songs.

[CureTheSane]

OK, I feel like a bit of a dipship.

I played my Cockroach CD and apparently I did get in to it and like it.

Must have listened to the Paul Laine version and maybe assumed that the songs were from post Cockroach.

Anyway, yes the songs you listed are good. There will always be songs you like better than me and vice versa.

 

I just dig Turn It On.

I know it's no Bohemian Rhapsody, but it's hooky and catchy and makes me wanna get up and party.

I actually prefer Screw It! to S/T

Don't really like Beat The Bullet, but I love Crazy Nights and Monkey Business

Off S/T I don't like Rock America, and Naughty Naughty is only OK, but I like Bang Bang and One Step From Paradise

 

Anyway, at least we can agree that Cockroach is a good album.

I think I gave it a listen and didn't like it at all, then I must have pushed through that and forced some more listen until I liked it

[Geoff]

I think all of those first three albums are superb, and there's not really a (proper) song on them I dislike at all. Even 'Yeah you want it' I never skipped, lol.

 

I must admit I was baffled when I saw you say you didn't like 'Cockroach' as many considered that their finest hour. I think their finest hours are a blend of all three albums, personally.
