The Music Thread

Dude! Journey?...Seriously? As far as I am concerned they only had 2 great songs the rest were mediocre.
If you want really good AOR band, check out Rainbow! Much better guitar player and a much better singer!
 
seriously :D which songs do you like?

I do love AOR, another favorite, the epic Survivor!

Love fleetwood mac, got the whole concert that those last two videos are from on DVD, concert dvd is called "the dance" if you want to acquire the whole thing. Worth it.

Love Mick Fleetwoods faces when he drums, watch his eyes in this great version of the BBC f1 classic "the chain":

Imo one of the greatest songs ever, written by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington. Performed first by the original Lynyrd Skynyrd, then by the "new" Skynyrd and finally the Shinedown cover.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is touring europe in the spring, obviously it is not the same as it used to be but the chance of seeing Gary Rossington and Billy Powell live is very tempting.

Enjoy.

If you have the chance to see Skynyrd in concert don't pass it up. I've been to two of their concerts, unfortunately both of them were a long time ago and I was pretty young so I didn't fully appreciate it. They were amazing though.
 
Styx. My all-time favorite band EVER. Since as long as I can remember.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite...

Here is a proper interpretation of Phil Collins::wicked:

Never heard of ARP, he sounds kind of like metallica (voicewise)...

I personally like this version:

(Yes, I realize these guys look like douches, but I love the song)
 
Axel Rudi Pell is actually the guitar player. He is German and was inspired by Yngwie Malmsteen and Ritchie Blackmore. He has some pretty good tunes and other covers as well.
