Sadchild's "high fives" (every artist I like at least five songs from)

[sadchild]

Papa Roach

Genre: nu metal, heavy rock

Discovered: don't remember but it was "Last Resort" (like the rest of the world)

Other: Four great songs on their first album (2000) then nothing great again until 2017.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Dead Cell
2. Last Resort
3. Periscope
4. The Ending
5. American Dreams

 

[sadchild]

Pat Benatar

Genre: hard rock, rock and roll, pop rock

Discovered: probably FM, probably "Hit Me with Your Best Shot".

Other: Prefer her rockin' stuff, not into the Tropico (Pop-ico) or bluesy stuff (True Love/Gravity's Rainbow)

HIGH FIVE:

1. Love Is A Battlefield
2. Hit Me with Your Best Shot
3. Hell Is For Children
4. Invincible
5. Shadows Of The Night



up next.... Pat Boone!

 

[HecticArt]

I've seen her play a few times. She still belts it out.
The last time Pat and Neil (hehehe) did the show with the Toledo Symphony. It was cool and different, but I like the more rockin stuff bore too.

 

[sadchild]

Was the opening act Neil and Bob?

Patti Rothberg

Genre: pop rock, indie rock (fits well with Scotch's list of indie rock girls). USA Today called her first album "a mix of urban folk and full-tilt rock".

Discovered: CMJ, same disc I discovered Primitive Radio Gods from.

Other: Pretty much a fan of just her first album (there's only a couple other songs of hers I like). Already told the story of when I went to see her perform but the gear never made it (snowstorm). A local TV station (I think it was WNDS, same one with "Weather With Al") used #2 below in the background while showing slo-mo clips of classic films with famous actresses. I thought it was a pretty creative way to promote their movie nights - memorable. However, there seems to be no record of this on the internet.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Inside
2. Looking For A Girl
3. Between The 1 And The 9
4. Perfect Strangers
5. Change Your Ways

Patti Rothberg

Nope...... I don't know the name, but the song is kinda familiar. It's not usually my thing, but it's a good song.

He got caught between Neil and Bob....

Paul McCartney

That would be SIR Paul to you.

 

[sadchild]

1. You Can Call Me Al
2. The Obvious Child
3. Wristband
4. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
5. Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

You can't just put the song up without the video. A classic video.

 

[HecticArt]

I thought you were going to post a Leia video......

That could have violated forum rules.....

 

[sadchild]

Paul Westerberg

Genre: pop rock, indie rock, folk rock, AC

Discovered: knew Replacements already.

3. Love Untold
4. All That I Had
5. Someone I Once Knew

 

[sadchild]

Pearl Jam

1. Breath
2. State Of Love And Trust
3. Corduroy
4. Even Flow
5. Jeremy

 

[sadchild]

Pet Shop Boys

Genre: new wave, synthpop

Discovered: probably MTV, "West End Girls"

Other: Wasn't really into much them until my friend kept playing Introspective around me in 90/91. #4 is the b-side to #3.

HIGH FIVE:

1. It's A Sin
2. West End Girls
3. Always On My Mind
4. Do I Have To
5. So Hard

 

[HecticArt]

Paul Westerberg

He wasn't too bad. I liked dislesskit hart, but don't know much outside of the Replacements.

Pearl Jam

Same same. Burned out on a lot because of FM, and can't get into the sappy ballad stuff. Like I've said before, they are a lot more effective when they are angry at something. I guess it's hard to stay angry when you're filthy rich.

Pet Shop Boys

I still like these guys the best out of the 3 bands you just listed.

 

[sadchild]

Peter Bradley Adams

Genre: folk, americana, singer-songwriter

Discovered: podcast, "For You"

Other: I want to see this guy live next time he goes to Club Passim in Boston. It's an intimate venue that serves food while the artist performs.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Hey Believers
2. We Are
3. For You
4. The Mighty Storm
5. Good Man

 

[sadchild]

Peter Gabriel

Genre: pop, pop rock, alternative, AC

Discovered: don't remember

Other: So, Us and Up are all classics. "Digging In The Dirt" is my favorite music video of all ever. He's got 13 songs in my 700+ favs songs of all ever, one of the highest.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Solsbury Hill
2. Red Rain
3. In Your Eyes
4. Love To Be Loved
5. Digging In The Dirt

 

[sadchild]

Peter Wolf

Genre: pop rock (often with a blues influence)

Discovered: knew him from J Geils

Other: Don't mind a few of his 80s hits, but primarily I like his 1996 album Long Line. All five songs below are from it. Heard "Rosie" (#2 below) one time on an FM station, bought the album, and still love it. Saw him live that year with Marshall Crenshaw.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Goodbye Is All I'll Send Her
2. Rosie
3. Break This Chain
4. Sky High
5. Long Line
