Absolutely but Dire Straits were kind of older when they broke through to the MTV generation. Knopfler was late 30s when Brothers in Arms hit and they became music video stars. Squier would have been an easier sell. I think we actually on what we are saying.
TwoI will explain in my post later
Stand By Me didn't match us? Or was it because I didn't specifically say that I love it?There's one!Love that movie."Get outta my way, Billy!"Well, I did draft Billy Idol
Love is Like Oxygen.
Love is a many splendored thing...Love LIFTS us up where we belong...all you need is love.

I cut you all a break by picking a song that only takes up HALF an album side.
We go from a song that sounds a bit like Deep Purple to Deep Purple itself. This tune is absolutely haunting and I have felt that way ever since I first heard it on their 1988 live album Nobody's Perfect. That version made my hair stand on end, and that's with Ian Gillian at diminished vocal capacity. The original version on Deep Purple in Rock is simply astounding (as is its first live release on Made in Japan). This song is the counterargument to anyone who tells you that prog is devoid of emotion.
Tomorrow I will have a song that is the diametric opposite of my first three picks.
Listening now. Deep Purple was a whiff for me. I think I saw a few names for the partial eligibility list and crossed them off mentally and forgot to go back to double check which albums were good.
This song could go on for 30mins and I'd be happy. Amazing tune.
They had at least three “big” videos from the Making Movies album prior to Brothers in Arms.
So was “Skateaway”
We'll have more Duran Duran so I'll wait to post it later.
Sigh, yes, and I just saw that annoying director's latest movie, Elvis, which manages to both be an hour too long and gloss over some very important stuff that could have used more in-depth exploration. Pastiche-y, crammed with nonsense, and is it possible that Tom Hanks actually sucks in this movie? Why yes, yes, it is.Love is a many splendored thing...Love LIFTS us up where we belong...all you need is love.
(Anyone...?
Well I can't vouch for anything else he's done but giving us scantily clad peak Nicole Kidman is all right by me.Sigh, yes, and I just saw that annoying director's latest movie, Elvis, which manages to both be an hour too long and gloss over some very important stuff that could have used more in-depth exploration.

There’s probably a 30-minute version out there somewhere…
Actually Dream Theater are kind of like Porcupine Tree to me. I know I should check them out but aside from a live show or two that friends sent me back in the day, I haven’t.
John Taylor is a fantastic bassist and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for it.
to Wikkid who loved this tune.
I liked it, but couldn't shake the feeling that it sounded like the theme song to a 70s family sitcom.
Yep. Those people from Austin sure are tricky.
I can hear that a bit in the intro. Alan Parsons produced the song.
maybe the best "new to me" song so far. I never really checked these guys out.
I'm only 17 tracks in, but that's where I am right now too. Nothing that made me think 'must skip now,' but the only sound that's grabbed my attention so far was White Wedding.
I haven't got to your song yet today - but I know it and like it.
I miss this venue.
You must be starting at the top?
Quite rightly.
That was - what? - 2009 or so? Simey and I had a little problem finding each other because neither of us looked like what the other thought@Uruk-Hai My seminar tomorrow is at the Grandover.
I met Uruk at the Grandover several years ago for a beer(s) when he and his friends were in town for the ACC tournament. I ate atoo. I hope they serve some good food tomorrow, and I hope this seminar isn't a super spreader.
That was a fun time, though. The folks I was with wanted to go right after Maryland lost. Simey was mad at me because we had tickets for the entire tourney and they went unused for the last couple of sessions. I wasn't in control of transportation, though, and didn't have time to get them to her.
I am proud to the first person to select a song by this fine band.
Your damned avatar is freaking me out, man. Some of the other new ones just confuse me, but yours is giving me nightmares - I'm imagining it breeding with Binky's.
This came up on a playlist walking the dog the other day and I wondered if someone would pick it. Love it.
I guess it was around that time. It was a long time ago. I wasn't mad about the tickets. I didn't even know y'all had burnt rubber after Maryland's loss until you told me later, and then you mentioned having left with tickets that could have been used. I was like dude I only live about 3 miles away from the Grandover. I could have gotten them. It didn't matter to me, though. I had no expectations of getting free tickets. That was an unfortunate loss for Maryland. Weren't they really good that year?That was - what? - 2009 or so?

The Grandover a really nice place. The ACCT wasn't as much fun as Atlanta for the non-game stuff, because every team's fans were so spread out (Grandover is waay out from downtown). In Atlanta, everyone except I think BC & Duke (lol) were downtown right next to each other and it was fun hanging with fans of other teams. But the atmosphere for the games was awful in Atlanta, as they were played in the Georgia Dome with a huge damned curtain hanging across half of the place (on the pro side: they stuck the Duke fans in the farthest corner). The Greensboro Coliseum was a much better venue to watch the games.
Had to look it up because my memory sucks and those two tournaments run together for me. It was 2010 in Greensboro. Maryland had tied Duke for 1st during the regular season. They had Vasquez, Hayes, and Milburn. Freaking Ga Tech beat them in the quarterfinals. Got one game out of the trip, but it was fun. I wanted to stay and watch the rest of the games, but the others didn't.
I like Andy's song. The Yes and Jethro Tull songs bring up fond memories of listening to FM radio in the 70s. There is something I like about all the songs.
Every time I see them mentioned, I think Redd Foxx. Guess that makes me the big dummy.
