Well that's not what Clyde Radio think, sure you're not getting them mixed up with Wet Wet Wet and a sniff and a few more sniffs I didn't know Knopfler was Scottish, fuck, you learn something new everyday. How about that track he did from Local Hero.

I have never heard of them either - I know the Steely Dan song! There is so much listed on here I haven't heard of, I think that California radio (at least Southern CA just plays the same songs over and over). Did you guys not listen to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth...?

The melodic rock defining artists thread got me thinking of songs from the early '80's, many by one hit wonders. Post some song titles here.

Anyone remember the song "Don't Let Him Know" by a group called Prism?

And We Danced - Hooters
Beats So Lonely - Charlie Sexton
Remember My Name - Stevie Lange
Obsession - Animotion
Call Me - Spagna
Everybody's Working For The Weekend - Loverboy
The Stroke - Billy Squier
You Got Another Thing Comin - Judas Priest
Every Little Kiss - Bruce Hornsby

Don't feel bad. The bands you listed are better than most the stuff being mentioned in the thread anyway. It is nice remember, but I didn't like half the bands or the songs being mentioned here. Loved the hard rock stuff, hated the "pop" and "New Wave" stuff.

A few obscure hard rock singles from the '80s...


I Got Mine - Motorhead

This single flopped in '83 because Motorhead fans thought it was too melodic....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Qr8G0Lrvs


Mean Streak - Y + T

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNkrrXz8 ... ed&search=


Boyz Are Gonna Rock - Vinnie Vincent Invasion

Featuring the vocals of Robert Fleischman...and Mark Slaughter miming along....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w0YbJPdubk


Somebody Save Me - Cinderella

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuZlZwAb68w


Recruits - Thor

This guy was best known for being able to blow up a hot water bottle on stage...except the one time he appeared on national television he couldn't do it. Here's his utterly forgettable and obscure single from 1986....from the Police Academy soundtrack....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-cyfYDRAjw


Innocent Days - Giant

Best song of 1989...by a mile....

Vinnie Vincent Invasion! That first album was great - hard rock with totally OTT guitar - and Robert Fleischman singing.....

Hey Deb - on the subject earlier of Canadian rock - I've been listening to the Sport of Kings by Triumph recently. Good stuff. I can't remember if you were a fan....

Here was one of the singles off that album from '86.

Just One Night - Triumph

LOVE Triumph! I saw them 3 or 4 times years and years ago and they always put on a great show (had one of the best laser light show too, LOL, that was a big thing back then). Haven't heard that one in a long time. Whether it was Rik or the drummer (can't remember his name, Mike maybe?) singing, didn't matter. Ahhhhh those were the days.....

IMO, Tom Keifer and Mark Slaughter were two of the best hair band vocalists.

I wasn't much of a Slaughter fan, but I thought Sebastian Bach was one of the better hair band vocalists.......he seemed to have great vocal control.
