What song are you listening to right now? (3 Viewers)

Nick Gilder - Got To Get Out 

https://youtu.be/vIXJrEy9Ch0

Delicious and fun power pop although Gilder gets no points for originality here as he channels about four Beatles songs...I can hear these: (maybe there are a couple more)  :lol:

Day Tripper

Got To Get You Into My Life

Get Back

Baby You Can Drive My Car 

 
Strangelove - Beautiful Alone 

https://youtu.be/AhqfLLJC_xs 

This Brit band seemed to have it all: They were great musicians, had good songs, plus a charismatic singer, in Patrick Duff. In addition, about five of their songs charted in the UK and they were loved by the critics there...but it just never happened for them.

 
I love how there were two threads by those who proclaim themselves to be Rock N Roll experts on the Top 100 songs of 1979 and the "new wave", yet didn't list this song among them.  :rolleyes:

Plus, some so called Television and Tom Verlaine fans have never even mentioned this anywhere either. I think people should be licensed before they post here as a "rock expert"...but I digress...a classic guitar jamming song:

Tom Verlaine - Breakin' in My Heart (1979)

I'm not really that. I listened to Television because of people on this board back earlier a decade ago. I had heard them and decided to give them a second chance. 

You're still wrong. They're nowhere close to New Wave. Maybe No Wave. And you can't cite some journalist born after 1974 as a New Wave authority. You have to had been there. 

And one last thing. You take shots and muck up any thread. The way you act on this board is total garbage, and don't see that I don't notice. 

In fact, everybody notices. I would say what you are but I'd get suspended. 

 
Listening to Prism of Doubt by Jerry Cantrell. Cane out in '21 but great for grunge fans stuck in the 90's.

Yes, you had to have been there. They were part of the NY Punk New Wave scene and I linked to NYT concert review circa mid-late 70s calling Television a "New Wave" band - but what did he know, just being part of that scene?  :lol:

Edited to add:

It is a rather curious position to take that a journalist can't be an expert on a genre of rock if they were born after a certain date because they weren't there to experience it. 😲

By that logic the only people qualified in RockAction's mind to discuss 50s rock and rockabilly artists are those 63 and older (If you are born after 1959 then apparently all bets are off.)

And by the same token, anyone born after 1987 should be disqualified from expressing their views on what bands can be labeled as early-to-mid 80's synth pop.

Their hardest rocking and best song. Lisa Dalbello backing vocals.
 
This one almost sounds like it could have been on a Bond soundtrack. Released in 1974, 1984.

I didn’t expect this sound from them. It has a mid-80’s alternative sound to it, sort of like Midnight Oil. Nice surprise, thanks for posting this.

IIRC this was the single release after Diamond Sun.

There's a cool video that they made for this that got some MTV airplay, and I've looked for it for years but have never been able to find it on YouTube (it shows Alan Frew and Lisa Delbellow on this remote isolated clifftop performing the song).

Yes it was a departure for them and wasn't well received at the time. My explanation is that it alienated their core fanbase who liked "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" or "Someday" and was not given a listen by non-fans who figured it was just the same old Glass Tiger.
