All great songs .. guess it depends on your taste in music ..
My husband could give you many many many songs . I'll try a few

Jon Bon Jovi --- Blaze of Glory
Bad Company --- Feel like making love
Leo Sayer--- When I need you
Some Ozzy and Rod Stewart

like I said depends on your choice of music .

That's awesome!! I got to see skid row on tour because they filled in for someone when either Live or STP was at Great Woods.

**mass junkie** · 12-22-2003, 12:43 AM

Yeah crue is one of the best bands that Ive ever got to see live....Well before tommy left and Vince became a fat ass.....I saw the scorpions open up for them.......that was a bad ass concert......I caught a pick from nikki sixx.......

**chicamahomico** · 12-22-2003, 02:13 AM

Times have changed and times are strange,
Here I come, but I ain't the same,
Mama, I'm coming home...
Times gone by seem to be,
You could have been a better friend to me,
Mama, I'm coming home.......

by Ozzy Osbourne

**scottninpo** · 12-22-2003, 03:48 AM

how about guns and roses november rain, you guys realize that song is 10 years old now!

**TheMudMan** · 12-22-2003, 08:06 AM

What about Journey's Feeling that way and Anytime...... Great songs

This thread is taking me back to my highschool days

**tryingtogetbig** · 12-22-2003, 08:32 AM

oh shiet...good songs! Bringing back lots of memories just singing those songs to myself as I read through them. I may have to print this and burn a cd myself.

BG...Is "Sister Christian" really by Night Ranger? That doesn't sound right and I really like that song, but I'll be dammed if I can remember who sings it. Haven't heard it in years. I'll try finding it to download.

Let us know what your final cd is going to be Red...

**Red Ketchup** · 12-22-2003, 10:48 AM

chicamahomico ... yep, Ozzy's Mama I'm coning home is in there!

scottninpo ... How could I not think of November Rain!!!!! Dammm yeah GnR have been around a while, saw them open for Maiden eons ago

TheMudMan ... In there!!!!

tryingtogetbig ... No doubt I'll post the complete list! But this is gearing up to be a 2 CD set

Most of the tunes are so good, I just can't get myself to knock some out!

Ah here is another one!!! The Cult - Edie (ciao baby)

Thanks bros! Keep 'em coming!

Red

**Lord Humungous** · 12-22-2003, 12:04 PM

Getbig, yes Sister Christian is Night Ranger. Jeez talk about flashbacks.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young-Southern Cross. listening to that as I type...I'm usually not one for hippie music, but I love that song.

Bon Jovi was the ultimate 80s ballad machine.....do a search and pick one

A lot of the good ones are covered though. Also REO had quite a few...Take it on the run, Keep on lovin you, Time for me to Fly, so many...

Have fun.
