@RLx31 Madonna’s vocals are embarrassing.
Really let herself go

If you haven't seen this version of Chers Believe then you are missing out.
And this comment is gold.
"DMA's look like they've just finished painting a piece at Macquarie Fields Train Station and are about to score a bag of shard on tick off their mate EskiOner down at East Hills for a big night ahead at an underground rave out in St. Mary's. But, like most dealers, EskiOner inconveniently wasn't at home and told them to wait a few hours until he got back... So, with a bit of time to kill and growing bored of the amount of Aussie hip-hop and Gabber on their stolen iPhone playlists, they decided to pop in to an Erskinevill music shop, rack a couple of guitars and head up to the JJJ studios to staunch Richard Kingsmill in to allowing them to record an amazing version of Cher's 'Believe'.

One of the best Guitar solos I have ever heard. Really cranking around the 8 minute mark.
TBH, I think that was a pretty poor version of Ocean. I've seen it live a few times and there's some live versions on Youtube I think are better.

Very happy with this, thank you. -
Loving this song at the moment. I love the noodling guitar sound, and guitar harmonies. Phil Anselmo has one of the great metal voices.

Are there many other bands who have such a difference between their good (this, nearly all of Smash) and their bad (Get a Job, Fly for a White Guy) that the Offspring.
This is a ripping pop rock track

Yeah I agree they are equally sublime and ridiculous....
This tune is the former....

“Pursuit of the Pimpmobile” from the “Truck Turner” (1974) soundtrack. Some very nice footage of the blaxploitation film.
The soundtrack is excellent in it’s own right, but I’ve been listening to the compilation album “Isaac Hayes Instrumentals” a lot lately, it’s an excellent collection that demonstrates what a genius songwriter and arranger he truly was, and I’d recommend to everybody aged 5 to 105..

Oh yes I have very fond memories of seeing them at The Big Day Out in the 90's, a great band.

A classic from the AOR Disco blog circa 2010.
When it's February and it's cold and pissing down here in the UK, and everyone is banging on about The Horrors and The Maccabees and Lana Del Ray, I like to take myself off to a better place in time: namely, to the summer of 1976 in the American mid-west, sitting in a Ford truck with a crate of beer and a bong, and watching the sun go down while listening to Boston. Best known for the opening track More Than A Feeling, Boston's debut album set the template for the golden age of AOR/Arena Rock in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Due to the visionary studio genius of Tom Scholtz the album sounded at the time like it had arrived from space - and it even had a cover which featured a spaceship which was shaped like an electric guitar. As a kid experiencing Boston for the first time I could barely imagine anything more legendary. And I still can't. So here's one of the highlights from the record, which starts out as an acoustic track with the smoothest harmonies from the late Brad Delp, very much in the tradition of the Californian sound typified by The Eagles and America. But this being Boston the song quickly moves up into full grandiosity, with layer upon layer of twin guitar and hammond organ solos, hand claps and gratuitous drum fills.

They were from Chicago, but they weren’t Chicago. They wrote & recorded the best Blood Sweat & Tears song that the Al Kooper-less BS&T never did. Great song, almost fifty years old, gets better with age.

Marc Jordan (aided by Steve Lukather) demonstrating just how hard smooth music could rock.
Sounds just like the soundtrack for a cheesy "walk along the beach with some chick with big hair" montage from an 80's movie.

Cover: very much in a country vibe at the moment.
