You doing a little cooking tonight? I am driving over for dinner at a buddy's house and then heading to the Knotty Pine.

Seperate Ways is pretty much a million times better than any song on that list.

**Jer** · 10-31-2007, 05:42 PM

That list is pretty much useless. No A Flock of Seagulls? No Big Country?

I remember posting this video about a year ago because I was absolutely blown away by the air keyboard skills.

'Relax' had quite the message.

in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

we had a journey cover band at my schools springfest two years ago. they went on way too early (12.00 in the afternoon what the fuck?), apparently they were amazing, i still haven't forgiven myself.

That brought back a ton of memories of cruising, girls, beer, girls and more beer. Good times back then.

Good stuff. Memories here too of cruising around during the summer nights (mainly because there was really nothing to do in the itty bitty town I grew up in) listening to Journey.

Hilarious. I am really suprised there wasn't any Van Halen on there though.

Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
why put it off another day?
one by one, little problems
build up, and stand in our way. Oh

One step ahead, one step behind it
now you gotta run to get even
make future plans I'll dream about yesterday, hey!
come on turn, turn this thing around

Hey! It's your tomorrow
come on, it's everything
catch your magic moment
do it right here and now
it means everything

Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone.

I don't think that was his song. He didn't write it, he didn't sing it. You know how I know? The music video. Watch the fucking music video. I find it wholly un-possible that one can honestly sing that song sitting/laying on a bed with no other prop than a ceiling fan, and show so little emotion. That is not how this song is sung. No fist pumping, no air guitar, no dancing. WTF is that shit???

**AbsolutStoli** · 11-01-2007, 06:52 PM

awesome list, but not a single ac/dc?

Think of the weakest, most pedestrian chore you can do, for example, doing laundry. Now play "Eye of the Tiger" in the background. If, by the end of that spin cycle you haven’t managed to somehow kill a grizzly bear with fabric sheets or make sweet love to every woman within 40 yards, then you need to see a coroner because you apparently died the night before.

haha

That's not Van Halen, that was Eddie selling out.

No Billy Squier("In the Dark,") Red Rider ("Lunatic Fringe,") or Golden Earring ("Radar Love") on this list either. Suspect indeed.

You're going to talk about Billy Squire and not mention "The Stroke"? Tsk, tsk. And I think we have ample evidence that Rev's appetite for cheesy 80's music knows no bounds.
