I had a girlfriend in high school and the only music we could agree on in the car was a cassette of "Reckless." I love the strat with chorus on the "Run to You" break. Mickey Curry is a great drummer too.Jon Nolan wrote:I have a cassette of Bryan Adams' "Reckless" in my car right now. There, I said it.
Songs you love that are just plain embarassing

that was some good stuff for a young wannabe rocker like me in high school. it's my 'cheese' and i proudly wear the badge. all my musician friends laugh. it's pretty funny.
Martin Gore seems to have always had a streak of knowing that this life stops well before Utopia, despite our transcendental and/or escapist sojourns. (depending how you judge)Mark Alan Miller wrote:
I like the idea of being 'cleared by nostalgia' though... perhaps my early-life love for Utopia in all forms and thus current selective affection for them (they could do no wrong in my eyes when I was young) can be forgiven by this clause?
I'll still maintain that there's a big difference between 'appreciating' and 're-enacting' (singing).
Sometimes when I'm feeling the noose I can sing a dM song called Told You So. But when I'm feeling idealistlly hopefully, I choke on the words. I just can't sing them.
This part:
"Everybody's waiting for judge-ment day.
So they can go, 'told you so'."
The rawness -- too real, bleak, cynical an (assessment of human nature), whether or not those he's mocking are right.
It's much easier to appreciate, like A Question of Time.

I meant Todd Rundgren's pop group, but I see what you are getting at too. And I reallly dig "Told You So" although I bring a different meaning to it personally...sonichue wrote:Martin Gore seems to have always had a streak of knowing that this life stops well before Utopia, despite our transcendental and/or escapist sojourns.

i like loads of stuff that's been totally weighed down by decades of accumulated cultural baggage....fly like an eagle...stairway to heaven...sweet home alabama...you know the drill.
the other night i was cranking bob segar's 'fire down below'...the vocal sound is amazing...so overdriven. i found it quite entertaining. my roommate walked by and gave me the Dubious Eyebrow. hahahaha
