bammanmr 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I was running an errand this morning and came across a song on the radio that I just HAD to turn up to '11' and sing along. That song was....... "Lonely no more", by Rob Thomas. :huh: It got me to thinking, as big of a rocker as I am (first concert, iron maiden; first purchased album, Kiss, Hotter than Hell; most recent concert, Sevendust; you get the picture), as best as I can recollect, there are 3 'pop' songs and 3 only that elicit that kind of reaction from me when I hear them. The others are - "September" Earth, Wind and Fire and "Goodbye to you" by Scandal. Now my question for you other 'hardcore' music folks is obvious. What POP songs make you react in a similar manner?

My favorite's in order are 1)Dogman 2)Gretchen goes to Nebraska 3)Faith love hope 4)Kings X 5)Come home MR.B 6)Ear Candy 7) Maniac Moonlight 8)Tapehead 9)Out of the Silent Planet 10)Black like Sunday(I didn't like this one) 11) last album...I REALLY hate to say it being a HUGE X fan but this one kinda of blows.

TitanTiger 20,542 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Dogman is one of the hardest hitting CDs I've ever heard. The guitars crunch and the bottom end is earth shaking. "I Don't Care" and "Black The Sky" kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with "Complain" as my favorite though, with "Dogman" a close second, then "Black the Sky".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I wake up and it was suddenly 2003? Incase you forgot how bama did last year, you may want to check my sig and see what a cotton bowl trophy looks like. Relax is a good song. I think its funny how they tied it into the movie Zoolander. Anybody remember that song "How Bizzare" by OMC? Terrible song...but when it came out i played to poo out of it. What was I thinking? Ranger, I think you are talking about Clarence Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogaaufan 27 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 "Dixie Chicken"-Little Feat "Its The End Of The World As We Know It"- R.E.M. "Cult of Personality"-Living Colour Three is pretty hard to narrow down to. If anyone was at AU during the late eighties, you may remember this. MTV had a new music tour that made a stop in Auburn. It was a free concert with Living Colour, the Godfathers, and the Sugarcubes. Living Colour went on first because their record had only been out about a week. Anyway, they TOTALLY blew the roof off the building. The Godfathers were supposed to be some up and coming hotshots and they nearly got booed off the stage trying to follow Living Colour. The Sugarcubes were probably the worst band I have ever seen live. They sounded like everyone in the band was playing a different song at the same time. Anyway, I have been a BIG Living Colour fan ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cult of Personality"-Living Colour 245978[/snapback] Can REM be classified as pop? I was going to list "What's the Frequency Kenneth" but I classifed that is alternative rock. I surely don't think Living Colour can be "pop". They were a style of rock, kind of a grunge/alternative rock. I think your thinking of a different song BG3. I found out it was a song by Billy Squier and was all "The Stroke". The chorus was "Stroke it, stroke it!". I grew up thinking they were saying "Strong man, strong man".

Tiger in Spain 0 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 "Africa" by Toto "Shakin'" by Eddie Money "Superman" by REM Some of REM's stuff can be classified as pop. The stuff they played to death on the radio was pure pop. You had to buy the CD to get the good alternative songs. I always sing along to "My Sharona" by The Knack, too.
