I could literally probably pick at least one song from every CD still in my collection, but I just have a question about two songs mentioned here. Just wondering if they're really that catchy, or they're here because they were singles and played alot? the songs are:

 

'Turn up the radio' and 'Stand'.

 

Autograph and Poison are two bands I adore, but 'Stand' is, along with 'Souls on fire' the first song they ever recorded that I hated. And same with Autograph - I love them, but this is my least favourite song from them. With both of them, I hate the choruses and imo don't think they have good hooks.

 

NOW, is that just because I'm a little younger than most you kids and completely missed these being thrown at me all day on radio in their heyday?

 

Can you take yourself outside the arena and honestly say that if you heard these songs on their respective albums as a new listener in the late 90's (hi, it's me!) that you'd pick these 2 songs as being catchy, compared to the rest of the album???

 

For me, both tracks were easily the weakest on their respective albums... and while we're talking about Autograph - how about 'She never looked that good for me'???!!!

I only heard of Autograph for the first time a few years ago... and i love them now, but that was all started from first hearing "turn up the radio". I reckon its a great song.

The first track I ever heard by Autograph was 'Turn Up The Radio' and I was singing it for weeks until I bought the album. Still one of may fave tracks by them. Backed on 'She Never Looked That Good For Me' - One of my other Autograph faves.

I'm a whorebag apparently!! Based on this and another thread, am I the only one here that doesn't like 'Turn up the radio'? Is it only the version on 'Missing Pieces' where he *cringe* says the line 'Turn up the tape machine'???

 

Yeah, I don't know what I'm missing, but I just think that song has filler written all over it... moreso than most songs I know.

 

Regardess of whether you like it all not, we can all gracefully agree on this, yes:

 

'She never looked that good for me' > 'Turn up the radio'

Yeah, it is. To me, though, is doesn't really sound much different to the finished product. Aside from a different lyric here and there. Either way, it's just a mega cheesy song imo, and not in a good way. :D

When you're discussing about catchy choruses, how can anybody forget the band Baton Rouge? The songs in their Shake Your Soul CD have some of the catchiest songs in hard rock. Songs like BAD TIME COMIN DOWN and BABY'S SO COOL will stuck to your head for days. I think that album has so much hooks and the songs are so catchy that it can rival any nursery rhymes CD that I bought for my son! I even think it's already ridiculously catchy.

 

Others that come up to my mind are:

 

STAGEFRIGHT - Def Leppard (the opening verse just goes into a build-up until you unexpectedly fall into a gigantic,sweet & catchy hook of the chorus)

 

GUILTY - Tora Tora

There're hundreds, but if I was asked to pick just one, it would have to be "Love Bomb Baby" by Tigertailz, and it's not even my favourite track from Bezerk! (awesome album, by the way!!)...the chorus just sticks into my head for days!!

 

On a side note: Any idea what happened to Tasha (she started this topic) ? she used to hang out here a lot till about a couple of years back...then she just disappeared...

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
