Reveille

Genre: more nu-metal?? sheesh how many freakin' nu-metal bands are there anyway??

HIGH FIVE:

1. What You Got
2. Unborn
3. Catarax
4. Untied

Not bad. It’s got some of that Click Click Boom groove going on.

Richard Marx

Genre: pop rock, rock and roll, AC

Discovered: probably FM?

Other: Just a casual fan of a handful of songs from his first two albums. He's had a few great tweets in the last few years though!

HIGH FIVE:

1. Don't Mean Nothin'
2. Should've Known Better
3. Too Late To Say Goodbye
4. Angelia
5. Right Here Waiting

 

[sadchild]

Rick Springfield

Genre: pop rock, rock and roll

Discovered: probably FM?

Other: Some of his latest stuff (2008-2017) is as good as his 80s stuff, like "What's Victoria's Secret", "I Hate Myself", "Down", "In the Land of the Blind" and my #1 below.

HIGH FIVE:

1. Venus In Overdrive
2. Jesse's Girl
3. I've Done Everything For You
4. Love Somebody

A couple of days ago someone said his personal pronouns were Has/Been. He replied you're right, since the 80's the money Has/Been rolling in. (or something like that.

Rick Springfield

HIGH FIVE:

1. Venus In Overdrive

I don't think I've heard that one before. It's pretty good.

Robert Palmer

Genre: rock, pop, AC

Discovered: probably FM?

Other: So classy, so versatile. Like Joan Jett, a lot of his hits are cover songs (which is fine).

HIGH FIVE:

1. Every Kinda People
2. Addicted To Love
3. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On
4. Simply Irresistible
5. Life In Detail

Until the countdown this weekend, I had never heard "Every Kinda People" before. My favourite of his is "Bad Case of Loving You".

Took some criticism for having a little too much in the way of scantily clad women in the 'Addicted to Love' video, so what does he do for 'Simply Irresistible?' Adds more, MORE scantily clad women!

That's quite surprising.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

That's quite surprising.

I always thought his debut was "Bad Case Of Loving You".

 

[scotchandcigar]

I always thought his debut was "Bad Case Of Loving You".

This came out in 1974

This came out in 1974

According to Wiki that wasn't even his solo debut. "Get Outside" was (same album). "Get Outside" peaked @ #105 on the hot 100. "Sneaking Sally..." didn't chart at all.

Also from this, "Bad Case of Loving You" was #1 in Canada. This may be why I remember it more. "Looking For Clues" was also a top 10 hit here and only #105 on Billboard.

I don’t remember hearing that before. It’s a fun tune.

I've never heard Get Outside, and I doubt anyone else has. Perhaps the reason Sally didn't chart, is because it's part of a 3-song trio.




I'll acknowledge that I became aware of his early stuff later on, and that Bad Case was a big hit that was solidly identified with him. And BTW, I covered him back on August 4, on page 17 of Scotch Sampler.

I haven't heard of anything before Bad Case of Loving You before this weekend. I was just pointing out what Wiki said about his chart history.

I think that was before I started following that thread. I think I originally thought it was a thread about a particular alcohol which I have no taste for.

I know you're joking, but just in case

For me, I'm guessing I heard him in this order

1. Every Kinda People (I was real young so I don't remember the moment, but hearing it later as a teen I already knew it well)
2. Bad Case Of Loving You
3. You Are In My System
4. Some Like It Hot (Power Station)
5. Bang A Gong (Power Station)
6. Addicted To Love
7. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On
8. (the rest of the Power Station album)
9. Simply Irresistible
10. (the rest of Heavy Nova)
11. Life In Detail
12. You're Amazing (meh)
13. Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You

Somewhere in there I heard Johnny And Mary once or twice, but no clue when. All I know is when I heard it in my teens, I was already familiar with it.

I loved "Looking For Clues" as well. It didn't chart at all in the states but got a lot of airplay up here.
