Here's a real "feel good" song from Nickelback's latest album (Here and Now) . The song is entitled "Don't ever let it end"

Wow ! That was really something . Lindsey at his best .

I listened to the original for the first time in a while, it really pales in significance compared to his solo acoustic performance.

Another one from Toto "Hold the Line" followed by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey with "Easy Lover"

Those were awesome. Missed them both off my mixes, had to add them in. Any other ideas for 80's classics?

Any other ideas for 80's classics?

Well here's another Fleetwood Mac song from the late 80's . A lot of people liked their early stuff around the late 60's , early 70's but "Rumours" remains a standout album . Let me have a think on the 80's rock . So much of it really . Maybe we can have an 80's theme for a few weeks ? Or longer ! Others can post their fav's .

Christine McVie remains one of my favourite female rock artists

Sounds great. I'm in. When do we start?


No time like the present !

Haha, great stuff.

I'll start off with one of my favourite bands. Their live album The Cure Show I'd rate as one of the best live albums going around.

Some great stuff from 'The Cure' there JJ . This track from the 'Doobies' is not quite the 80's but has an 80's feel

Here's another of my favourite bands.

Mark Knopfler would have to go down as one of the most talented songwriters going around, he not too shabby on guitar either.

For any other Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler fans out there, if you haven't heard his solo album Kill To Get Crimson then do yourself a favour, it's brilliant.

Nascent 1.8

The very talented Mr Townsend, a former protege of Steve Vai, shows off his amazing vocals on this track (3.20 - 4.15). Not his best song, but probably one of the most accessabile from his solo work.

Aussie band The Butterfly Effect. Posting purely because I'm catching their final tour in a couple weeks before Clint leaves the band.

Those guys are all class. Awsome Aussie band.

Bit of 'Rose Tattoo' , this song dedicated to the Scorpions !

I'm glad you didn't use his VFL grand final effort. Didn't exactly cover himself in glory on that day.

Time for some Enz.

Couple from Chisel

Macca's 80's 2.1

Flame Trees is one of my all time favourite songs. Love it.

I was listening to this song while driving around the other day thinking this could be the theme song for the season (I had MFCSS in full flight).

But then I realised I was just focusing solely on the chorus "That's just the way it is, some thing will never change"

So I listened to it a few more times and realised there was a much greater meaning to the song, which put things in perspective.

Again I caught myself getting enthralled with an NBA match. I could see the battle, what seemed like gladiators going head to head, the cut a thrust of combat.

But standing back I could see it for what it's worth, just a game.

Anyway, enough of my midweek musings (maybe I should have started this with "Dear Diary"?), bring on the 80's!

And this one's alright too.

Been listening to a stack of new rock in the last week or so , but happy to continue the 80's theme for a few more weeks at least .

Might do a 'July Madness' of new rock . I've got about 40 or 50 hit songs from this year to post !! Some great stuff from 'Garbage' , 'You me at Six' , 'Neon Trees' , 'Chevelle' , 'Papa Roach' , 'Chili Peppers' , 'Switchfoot' , 'LostProphets' , 'Marilyn Manson' and the 'Arctic Monkeys'

Here's another from 'Simply Red'

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
