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'

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
