General Public - Tenderness (Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger were

Genesis - Mama (Post Peter Gabriel era, I also enjoyed the extended version of Tonight, Tonight, Tonight)

Georgia Satellites - Battleship Chains (Fronted by Dan Baird. I saw guitarist Rick Robards juggle his guitar.)

David Gilmour - Murder (David replaced Syd Barrett in Pink Floyd.)

Giuffria - Call to the Heart (From the Journey school of rock, named for keyboardist Greg Giuffria.)

Go-Go’s - Our Lips are Sealed (Actually I do not remember them making the Album Rock charts. I prefer their performance from Urgh! A Music War.)

Golden Earring - Twilight Zone (Little did the reader know, they were actually typing this.)

Lou Gramm - Midnight Blue (From Foreigner, not the guy from Mary Tyler Moore, Lou Grant.)

Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue (Perhaps the only reggae song that begins with the word “hoy”. Eddy did the songs from Romancing the Stone.)

Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey (The bands only number one pales in comparison to their older material.)

Great White - Once Bitten Twice Shy (Remake of the Ian Hunter classic.)

GTR - When the Heart Rules the Mind (Steve owe of Yes and Steve Hackett of Genesis, name is short for guitar. J.D. Considine reviewed the record with just three letters, SHT.)

Guns ‘N Roses - Civil War (What we have here is a failure to communicate.)

Sammy Hagar - Fast Times at Ridgemont High (I picked this one because I used to play it on an AC based college station before the boss woke up.)

Hagar, Schon, Aaronson, Shrieve - Whter Shade of Pale (Sammy later of Van Halen, Neal of Journey, Kenny of Stories, and Michael of Santana.)

Honeydrippers - Rockin’ at Midnight (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Nile Rodgers.)

Honeymoon Suite - Feel it Again (Canadian quintet)

Hooters - All You Zombies (Philadelphia band does a great cover of Love’s She Comes in Colors.)

Human League - Don’t You Want Me (English band, became more dance oriented with later albums.)

Ian Hunter - All of the Good Ones are Taken (Former leader of Mott the Hoople.)

Billy Idol - White Wedding (Ex-Generation X man, Billy Idol seems to channel Jim Morrison on this track.)

INXS - The One Thing (Australian band’s American debut, Shabooh, Shoobah was fantastic.)

Donnie Iris - Love is Like a Rock (Former leader of Jaggerz)

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes to Midnight (Leader Bruce Dickinson went solo in 1993.)

Mick Jagger - Ruthless People (From the movie Ruthless People.)

Jefferson Airplane/ Starship - Planes (1989 reunion of the 1966 line-up.)

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - Bad Reputation (3rd former Runaway following Michael Steel and Lita Ford. Starred in Light of Day.)

Billy Joel - Pressure (Formerly of the Hassles.)

Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better (English singer and synthesizer wizard.)

Journey - Stone in Love (Greg Rollie and Neal Schon were originally in Santana.)

Judas Priest - You’ve Got Another Thing Coming (I wish Breaking the Law was on the list.)

Kansas - Play the Game Tonight (Topeka band)

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine (I prefer Is That It, but it wasn’t an option and we are forever cursed with this commercial ditty.)

KBC Band - America (Kantner, Balin, Cassidy - My copy is autographed.)

Greg Kihn Band - The Breakup Song (If it were videos I was choosing from, Jeopardy would win.)

King Crimson - Sleepless (Best of the Adrian Belew era.)

Kinks - Destroyer (Fun Sequel to Lola, rocks hard. I love this era of the Kinks.)

Kiss - I Love it Loud (Prefer the original lineup.)

Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule (Lenny came out swinging. Who would have known Lisa Bonet would have had such great taste?)

Krokus - Midnight Maniac (Swiss band that seems to have disappeared on all retro play lists.)

Cyndi Lauper - She Bop (You know why!)

Led Zeppelin - Ozone Baby (From Coda)

Alvin Lee - Detroit Diesel (10 Years After ex-singer scores with a tune recorded in Chattanooga.)

John Lennon - Nobody Told Me (Strange days it was indeed, unfortunately. Perhaps December 8, 1980 was the day the music died.)
Julian Lennon - Valotte (More Billy Joel music structure than John Lennon. It turns out Julian did not have artistic freedom.)

Huey Lewis and the News - Do You Believe in Love (Song starts out like ELO’s Sweet Talkin’ Woman. Bassist Mario Cippolino’s brother was Quicksilver Messenger Service’s guitarist John Cippolino.)

Little Feat - Hate to Lose Your Lovin’ (My favorite Little Feat period was between 1989 and 1992 when former Poco singer Craig Fuller traded vocals with Paul Barrere. Frank Zappa named the band.)

Little River Band - The Night Owls (Prefer Man on Your Mind from earlier. Glenn Shorrock loves popcorn. He ate tons of it in my station’s tent.)

Kenny Loggins - Don’t Fight It (with Steve Perry. Kenny was once a member of the Electric Prunes.)

Lone Justice - Ways to be Wicked (Maria McKee has a very unique voice and has worked a lot with Dwight Yoakum. Maria’s brother was Bryan Maclean of Love who changed his name to look more professional. Tom Petty wrote this song.)

Los Lobos - Will the Wolf Survive (Song became a hit for Waylon Jennings. Los Lobos career took off after the La Bamba soundtrack took off.)

Loverboy - Turn Me Loose (There was a time when if you saw someone in a mall wearing a bandana, it was either Mike Reno of Loverboy or Pat Benatar.)

Nick Lowe and his Cowboy Outfit - I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock and Roll) (Great rockabilly tune. The video shows scenes of Nick and wife singer Carlene Carter getting married. There was not a follow-up video of their break-up.)

Jeff Lynne - Every Little Thing (Features George Harrison on guitar and background vocals.)

Madness - Our House (They were ska-rock before ska-rock was cool.)

Marillion - Kayleigh (Lead singer “Fish” later went solo but was perhaps overlooked because of “Phish.”

Nick Mason and Rick Fenn - Lie for a Lie (Nick was drummer of Pink Floyd and Rick was guitarist for 10cc.)

Paul McCartney - No More Lonely Nights (Not the best stuff by Paul. David Gilmour’s guitar solo helped influence this pick.)

Delbert McClinton - EveryTime I Roll the Dice (Became a bar band classic. It features background vocals by Melissa Etheridge and guitar by Bonnie Raitt.

Roger McGinnis - King of the Hill (Former Byrd makes a comeback with this song that shares vocals with Tom Petty.)

Bob and Doug McKenzie - Take Off (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas of SCTV with help from fellow Canadian Geddy Lee.)

Meat Loaf - I’d do Anything for Love (But I Won’t do That) (Meat Loaf sang lead vocals on Ted Nugent’s Free-For-All album.)

John Mellencamp - Human Wheels (John was made to use the last name Cougar by his record label. He was a ble to reclaim his name due to his popularity.)

Men at Work - Who can it be now? (Won 1982 best new artist Grammy and it was all down hill from there. Refreshing pop that sounds like an upbeat, jazzy, Harry Belafonte.)

Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning (Disturbing vision of the Apocalypse.

Mike + the Mechanics - The Living Years (Sadsong by band that was made up by members of Genesis, Squeeze, and Van Morrison’s band.)

Steve Miller Band - I Want Make the World Turn Around (Mellow but pretty)

Missing Persons - Words (Former Frank Zappa band members)

Mr. Mister - Kyrie (L.A. quartet)

Modern English - I Melt with You (English new wave band)

Eddie Money - Take me Home Tonight (Former NYC cop. Do you think he is going deep undercover?)

Moody Blues - The Voice (Patrick Moraz of Yes replaced Mike Pinder on the keys. Great bunch!)

Gary Moore - Still got the Blues (Former guitarist of Thin Lizzy.)

Van Morrison - Tore Down a la Rimbaud (It’s difficult to listen to Van for pronunciation clues.)

Motels - Take the L (Lover - L = Over)

Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home (Band has recently regrouped following Vince Neil’s plastic surgery.)
