Name That Tune....

[Mike_G]

Count me as impressed, I've seen quite a few bar bands attempt that song and screw it up badly when those notes come up!

Thanks! I have to sing that song early in the set when my voice is fresh, LOL

That song was purposely written to sound like a Creedence tune, btw.

And when your looks are gone and you're alone

How many nights you sit beside the phone

What were the things you wanted for yourself

Teenage ambition you remember well

The first and only hit by Asia. Weren't they supposed to be the new Led Zeppelin at that time?

Heat Of The Moment. Kinda ironic?

[Custom Mike]

Asia had a second hit Mark, Only Time Will Tell.

They were a good band, but way overhyped at the start for sure! Killer album artwork though!

I loved Steve Howe in Yes

ASIA- not so much

I liked their 2 hits but they kind of burned you out on them by playing them so much on the radio...

I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through

Hypnotize me through

City nights
Summer breeze make you feel all right
Neon lights
Shining brightly, make it rain at night

See the girls with the dresses so tight
(Give you love)
Give you love, if the price is right

Correct.

I think my local FM station played quite a few Asia songs--maybe the whole album. Yeah, I remember they were supposed to be the New Supergoup. And they weren't too bad, either, IMHO.

I think that was his only "hit" but he's been involved in music all this time. He's been involved in either writing or producing quite a few tunes you've probably heard, though his name's not associated with them.

Aldo Nova worked with Bon Jovi,on their first album.

You know that talk is cheap

And those rumors ain't nice

And when I fall asleep

I don't think I'll survive the night, the night

[Snake45]

Yeah, there ya go, just as a ferinstance.

I think he also wrote at least one of the American Idol finalist songs--and one that actually sold a few records, too. I'd have to look it up.

Like the smoke that rises from a flame

I hear that homesick ????? call my name

Telling foreign tales that are not new

Listening for the lies when nothing's true

And he's waiting for me to perform...

(Never could decipher that word in the second line - sounds like "hobo" or "Volvo". Hint: Not the Doors but sounds a lot like them.)

Calm Before the Storm - Phantom's Divine Comedy

Should have been a hit; maybe the rumors that this was Jim Morrison and the secrecy about who it really was - some no-name musicians from Detroit - got in the way?

[ChrisBcritter]

OK, let's try something a bit different. Two different songs, but near identical theme and structure - they could easily become a medley:

1. Into the city

Where I had my eye

On all the pleasures

That money can buy...

2. This tired city

Was somebody's dream

A billboard horizon

As black as they seem...

#1 - Female folk/pop singer; this was as close to a hit as she got

#2 - Group with three number one hits but this one only charted number 12

He had a second (minor) hit in 1991, Bon Jovi helped him out to return the favor. It wasn't a bad song at all, but it got lost in the shuffle. The name of the song was Blood On The Bricks, give it a listen!

Yes, great song and you hardly hear it on the classic rock stations...
