Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

One of the top ballads of the '80s, and a rarity. Does anyone put more passion into a performance than Cocker, or is it just that he's half-plastered?

Fell in love with this one recently, trying not to wear it out, just love the vibe.

I'm still stuck in the '80s, and this is about as '80s as it gets. Love it, though. Turn up the volume and try to overlook the douchey hair and wardrobe.
"Hungry Eyes" by Platinum Blonde (no, nothing to do with Eric Carmen; in fact, it came out earlier):

Good song:

Another top fav of mine. Evocative video, too. I had never seen the video before:

Is no one else participating in this thread anymore? Then I'll just let it die.

Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

I appreciate seeing the videos since it introduces me to some new bands every so often.

I can't get enough of the brilliant Record Club Jam Sessions but I'll post this one. Liars + the love of my life Annie Clarke (St. Vincent) = gold

This isn't as good as the cleaned-up version on Everwhere at Once, but it's my fav Plimsouls song:

Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

One of my favorite singles. I don't play drums, but I imagine this song would be a blast to play for a drummer:

^Good stuff.

Here's another classic. The chorus is underwhelming, but everything else is terrific, and I love main guitar riff:

This type of music normally falls outside my strikezone but I am digging this song. The album featuring the song comes out in a couple of weeks.

My first taste of New Wave music back in the day. Still love it.

Traveling Wilburys - End of the Line

This song has double deep meaning for me. Roy Orbison was the first musician I can remember dying and it really hitting me. He sings on this track but died soon after. They have his guitar in a rocking chair as a tribute in the video and album cover. This songs was also the favorite of a really close friend with whom I shared a ton of good times.

The embed feature was disabled for the video.

Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

^Yes, good song. The entire album is solid stuff.

Looks like the video has been removed.

Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

Orbison was on the album cover, as it was released while he was alive. He was alive for the first video "Handle with Care," but died before the second video was shot.

Or do you mean the cover of the EOTL single? I haven't seen that.

Re: Post a random song you deeply love, & try someone else's.
 

Yeah, my bad. I meant for the single

More Seger. "The Fire Inside" is top-ten-of-all-time for me, but I posted it in another thread, so I'll go with this unacknowledged classic:
