Jukebox Playlist

I absolutely loved this song, especially back in 1985 when it came out. White Nights was something of a mind-blowing film for me...Gregory Hines (RIP) and Mikhail Baryshnikov dancing. Gregory, because I thought of him as a comedian - I still cannot look at him without thinking of History of the World, Part I, as that is the first time I ever saw him in anything. Also, Running Scared, one of my favorite movies ever. And Mikhail moves like physical poetry. The movie was amazing and the music video catches a lot of the power it holds.

It still blows me away that Gregory has passed, and that it was 14 years ago. Even stranger is his fiance/partner, Negrita, whom was a body builder, died of cancer too a few years after he did.

Jeff Lynne is a pop genius!

A song I had forgotten about

When I do research for the Brackets, I use the list of the Top 100 songs according to Billboard for that year.  I also go month through month of albums released that year.  And there is such a disparity, at least for me, in what was popular and what I like.  That's why I had so much disco up a few days ago.  That's what was on the charts in 1979.  As soon as I started checking album releases, I came upon that Joe Jackson song and the Elvis Costello one I am going to post.  I like them infinitely better than most of the Top 100, but it doesn't make one better than the other.  Just blows my mind what variety and range of music people can like.

Anyways, Elvis Costello

Here's one you might know that doesn't involve huskies or yellow snow.

Rush for people who say they don't like Rush but secretly do (looking at you mirth (and Barthheart))

Another tune I was introduced to due to my fixation on guitar video games from a few years back.

Rush for people who say they don't like Rush but secretly do (looking at you mirth (and Barthheart))

probably my all-time favorite band...  and that's about the 4th best song on that album, too

Just A Game
Suitcase Blues
Young Enough to Cry
Hold On
Lay It On The Line  <--- probably better than 5th best track but overplayed like crazy
Movin' On
(and let's just ignore American Girls as a dreadful bit of crap from Triumph, please)

[bayonetbrant]

some other excellent Triumph-ness

Drags out a bit, but the first 2 verses or so are excellent

[MetalDog]

There was a kid I went to high school with who was a big Triumph fan.  Glad it touched off something good for you.


More proof that Jeff Lynne is a pop genius

One of the things I loved about MTV was the small amount of videos they could choose from initially.  Got a whole bunch of stuff in front of this young man's eyes that I never would have otherwise heard or known about.  This is one of the gems.  And you might recognize the guys name.

Another  great list of songs there people  O0 I enjoyed the listen, as always :)

I had completely forgotten about this song.  Not The Kinks best effort, but, mildly amusing.
