Bonnie Tyler. Don't hate my friend. That song captures everything awesome about the middle 80's in a manner not equaled since White Lion's rendention of the Transformers Theme Song.
ahhh total eclipse of the heart, the song that makes you think of your former love, so you can masturbate with the lubrication of your own tears.
My favorite, favorite, most favoritest band ever (Floyd is 2nd). Cassandra Gemini (32.5mins) and Cicatriz ESP (12.5mins) are light years ahead of anything mentioned in this thread, but I wanted to keep it somewhat familiar. Their live shows take the extend-a-song to a new level. They'll turn a 6min song into a 30min song, and you'll love every second of it. I swear, Omar is from another galaxy. Dangit, now I gotta go pump up some Deloused. . .
Ahh the 80's. The era where regardless of what level of talent you had or most cases lacked, as long as you had a nice hair do and lots of make up and pink spandex you were a shoe in for triple platinum. Yeah, I think I will hate.
Not sure if it belongs here, but this thread makes me think of Whole Lotta Love by Zepp. It came out when I was in middle school grades. The cool kids would have a dance party, and I'd always forget to NOT dance to that song. You'd be dancing a storm and then.......pow.......long long batshyt crazy sounds/strings/drums......kids standing around trying to look cool........then finally back to some crunching rock.
Epic...
