Lol LB4LB on the Summertime Girls video. thumbsup

++++++++++

I can't give you credit for the Zebra as I posted that song a week ago (a couple pages back)...

MarkG's Zebra post

...with original video. Some 80's cheese, but with a super-hawt big-haired 80's Rock chick in tiger or zebra(?) stripes! Oh yeah.

++++++++++

However, Fastway's "Say What You Will" is one I'd completely forgotten about, a must have. Thanks. cheers

++++++++++

EDIT: Lol on this write-up...
Great 80's Videos ... Zebra - Tell Me What You Want

2nd EDIT: That was fun...going on break, be back later. wave

When it comes to 80's music video cheese it's really tough to beat "Separate Ways" by Journey.


Great song but man, the video looked it it was made on a $500 budget.

Don't mind me, I had to come back to retrieve my CD briefcase. duh

Jamming to Fastway and some other new songs I purchased, I thought of one more band that I had completely forgotten about, and I *had* to correct this grievous error before I forgot. Not quite as sexy to me as the Zebra tigress above, or even Pat Benatar, but oh such a pretty 80's look and with talent to back it up. I bought their "Best Of" today for $5.99 (had their debut album on 8-track)...

EDIT: Like Pat Benatar, she's married to the guitarist (they founded the band).

Mark, you beat to the Quarterflash ones.

Here's a good "Torch Song" from the 80's.

This is the only song I know from them.

I checked out their discography and noticed that all of their hit songs were on their first two albums which sold very well. They quickly faded after their third album in 1985.

I admit that I am only familiar with their big hit songs. I’ve never actually listened to a complete album of theirs.

Always been a big fan of Steely Dan. Here's another classic.



My kids called them "Dad rock" I have heard it referred to as "yuppie" music or yacht rock. I never owned a yacht. biggrin

Other than Aja, my 3rd all-time favorite album (second only to Dark Side of the Moon and Moving Pictures), I knew of only a handful of hits not on that album (pretty much the ones on the Wiki box set listing which include links)...
Citizen Steely Dan (1972–1980)

I found the above comprehensive 4-CD box set on sale somewhere and was surprised just how much I enjoyed almost all of it (maybe a half-dozen songs I could take or leave, but never skip...it's that good to me).

Donald Fagen's solo The Nightfly is also one of my favorites (a shared favorite, wife also loves this album and Steely Dan). So we listen to lots of Dan on any road trip.

++++++++++

When I listen to Aja I think of Capt. Keith "Rosey" Rosenkranz "Vipers in the Storm," an album he listened to on cassette while flying his F-16 to the Persian Gulf. tuner

Yacht rock...lol. Had to go back to my yacht rock playlist to make sure Steely Dan was well represented...
Re: Cover/Tribute Band Thread

A favorite in that listing (including excellent fan video)...

Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island 1978 (Lyric Video) 1080P


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlOtO2ZimrE

++++++++++

And another not-so-well-known Steely Dan (all of these will be in the box set)...

Steely Dan - Bad Sneakers
