1, 2 KO combinations - "Steelhouse Lane"

[Darkstone]

I love these two and I'm sure most of you do as well. Full of Class and as smooth as silk.

Where the fuck are these guys! You'd have to think that a third album would be a huge success. Even Keith Slack has done fuck all really since then. A few bits and pieces, but not much.... Frontiers?

I don't know how accurate this is, but I remember reading that Keith Slack is a Drummer by trade. One night, the singer of the band he was with was a no show for a gig, so Keith decided to step up. Apparently no one knew he could sing and were amazed. The rest is history.

There's quite a few recycled tracks on these albums also. Tracks I'd already had by different artists. At least six over the two albums, by my count.

If I was making a playlist consisting of what I consider to be perfect songs, then "Surrender" would certainly be on there, no worries mate.

I agree. The second one is my favourite.... just.

Pretty much as good as it gets. I prefer the second album for the beefier sound and that it's all new songs... but both albums are flawless. 

Basically everything on both albums are my favourite songs, but 'Still' and 'Seven Seas' are as good as music gets (okay let's throw 'Surrender' in the mix too). 

The bonus track, 'If love should go,' from 'Slaves' should not be left out of the picture either. One of the best on/off the album.

"Son of a Loaded Gun" appears on the Eyes "Full Moon" disc, but it's not on youtube.

Then there's this one from '85.

lol, that's right. And I know that bonus track, 'If love should go' is a Streets cover/update too. 

So let's just say there's less covers then, lol.

Well there you go. I completely missed that "If Love Should Go" was on the Streets debut.

That makes seven covers/updates across both albums and counting.

Both quality albums. Second album is my favourite. Mike Slamer is just excellent. 

[lettard]

Great albums both of em , do we count these as covers though? I mean Slamer wrote them didn't he? so they'd be his babies

I've been waiting for a new album from these guys. Why did they stop?

I reckon even if you've written the song, if someone has performed it before, then it's a cover.
