Thanks Sat!  Pure Prairie League--Truth be told, I haven't heard many of their tunes, but I absolutely LOVE their "softer" hits in the early 80's with Vince Gill on lead. Before that time, I just know "Amie" and "Two Lane Highway". Faves: Let me love you tonight (Such a GREAT song in under 3 minutes) Still right here in my heart Amie You're mine tonight (VERY overlooked) I'm almost ready I can't stop the feelin' Two lane highway Quarterflash--The Motels, to a lesser degree. But what a sax player lead singer Rindy Ross is! Played all the rock circuits in the early/mid 80's, but now rock critics would dismiss them as being too "pop". Album rock playlists were so much more versatile in the 80's than today. Great group, know all their singles well, plus some more from their debut; loved playing it in college! Faves: Harden my heart (Should be in most peoples' top 200, 300 songs of the 80's) Find another fool (NO short "fade" ending!) Take me to heart (Did get a little sick of it for a while, now I haven't heard it in ages!) Night shift (Title song from a VERY obscure movie) Right kind of love Take another picture Talk to me Cruisin' with the deuce Try to make it true Suzi Quatro--WOO, YEAH! My 2nd fave today! The Godmother of Punk Music, no questions. I have a CD on Razor & Tie, it is AWESOME! Beats the Runaways and other early girl bands to pieces. Every tune's a SOLID winner, period. Can't say enough. Faves: She's in love with you (BIG WOOOOO HOOOO!!!) Stumblin' in' (didn't know the song had a longer ending till I got the R & T CD) Lipstick Can the can Devil gate drive Keep a knockin' Glycerine queen I've never been in love Your mama won't like me 48 crash If you can't give me love All shook up Mama's boy The wild one Paralysed Tear me apart Daytona demon Shakin' all over Michael Cat size Rolling stone I may be too young Queen--My fave today, and since the age of 10, they've always been in my 20 favorite groups. MUCH teasing in school for liking them!  Anyway, they possess some of the most timeless rock music, even if Freddy had to "overcharacterize" his flamboyance. Man, was I ONE SUCKER for LOVING the "Hot Space" album! Already have a 2-CD collection, as well as "The Game" on CD, with more to follow. Too much for words. RIP Frederick Bulsara, 1946-1991. Faves: (Hold on to your hat, a L-O-O-O-ONG list!) #1!-ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST (Absolutely FOREVER in my top 10 of all time) Crazy little thing called love (top 50) Bohemian rhapsody (top 100) We will rock you/We are the champions (top 200) Body language Killer queen You're my best friend (LOVE the "moogish" guitar) Fat bottom girls Bicycle race Radio ga-ga Somebody to love Under pressure Play the game Back chat Flash's theme Need your loving tonight Calling all girls One vision (Fried chicken!) Don't try suicide A kind of magic Tie your mother down These are the days of our lives (very chilling) Keep yourself alive Seven seas of Rhye Headlong Action this day The show must go on Stone cold crazy I want it all Las Palabras de Amor Dragon attack Good old fashioned lover boy Spread your wings I'm in love with my car Save me Put out the fire (Shoot!) I want to break free Dancer Hammer to fall Now I'm here God save the queen Rock it (Prime jive) Don't stop me now It's late Machines (Or Back to Humans) Sheer heart attack Sail away sweet sister Get down, make love Who wants to live forever Life is real (Song for Lennon) Tear it up Innuendo I'm going slightly mad '39 The miracle Friends will be friends Dear friends It's a hard life In the lap of the gods Made in heaven Breakthru Love of my life Flick of the wrist Brighton rock --whew--  Queensryche--I never thought they would last this long. Two mediocre albums in '83 and '84--I thought they'd had it after that. Somehow their next 2 releases slipped by me, but "Empire" made me think twice. A great album it is; perhaps in my top 500 albums. What a cool "headphones experience"! Subsequent albums, however, didn't favor well with me. Faves: Silent lucidity (Only 13 years old, but this should belong on every classic rock countdown of top songs) Another rainy night Jet city woman Anybody listening? Empire Eyes of a stranger (I actually remember playing this in college) Bridge Breaking the silence I am I Quiet Riot--ah, the first hard rock group I really got into. They were...well, a RIOT! No wonder why I didn't do too good in 8th grade social studies... Plan to get a "Best of" CD sometime soon and relive those memories! Faves: Cum on feel the noize (all time top 500) Bang your head (Metal health) Mama weer all crazee now Slick black Cadillac The wild and the young Stomp your hands, clap your feet Battle axe Condition critical Let's get crazy Run for cover Party all night Put up or shut up Thunderbird Slave to love Things should be "hopping" tomorrow... Surprised you like PPL after hearing your take on 70s country rock! Always loved the Stop Your Hands, Clap Your Feet title! Party All Night is another good one! |

Okily dokily. More "Q's" than I thought there would be. Pure Prairie League - they weren't bad - like the two hits already mentioned. Vince Gill must get around because he also sang Firefall's "You Are The Woman". Quarterflash - never really cared for them. So overplayed on radio around here. Suzi Quatro - was not a Happy Days fan. I did like Stumblin' In, though. I never knew that was her until a few years ago. Queen - one I can thank my parents for. Love them, and it's so sad when a group loses their lead singer, because it will never be the same again, no matter how hard you try. I'll list my very favorites, because if I listed all, it would be long: Flash (also way cool movie), Radio GaGa, I Want To Break Free (seen the video since I now know for a fact what I had suspected for years about Freddie and the whole thing now has a deeper meaning), It's A Kind Of Magic, You're My Best Friend, Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hammer To Fall, Stone Cold Crazy, We Will Rock You, and These Are The Days Of Our Lives (so sad, he looks so sick in the video, and it turned out to be the last song and video - creepy) (glad you liked it, H2). Queensryche - My husband has the tape. I used to joke that it was Silent Lucidity over and over again. Never really cared for them. Quiet Riot - loved the stuff about the first 5000 times. I'm now very sick of it (still). OOOOO, gotta call ya on this one, Railyn! You Are the Woman was most definately Rick Roberts on lead vocal, who sang their other hits, such as Just Remember I Love You and Strange Way!  |

Pure Prairie League--Enjoyed them a lot back in the day. I liked the country-pop feel of their music. Faves: Aimee, Let Me Love You Tonight, Still Right Here in My Heart, I'm Almost Ready.
Quarterflash--Saw them on American Bandstand once, and remember Rindy Ross saying the band's name came from the saying that to achieve fame and fortune, you must have 3/4 talent, and 1/4 flash. Or something like that. ;D Anyway, really liked this group. LOVE Find Another Fool. Other favorites: Talk to Me, Take Me to Heart, Harden My Heart (IIRC, they also released that song a few years earlier under the name "Seafood Mama").
Suzi Quatro--Loved her back in the day. I recently bought a videotape of some female singers of the 80's, (called Leather and Lace), and she's featured on it, singing "She's In Love With You". REALLY brought back the memories. I don't think I have any albums by her. I'd like to find a CD somewhere. Faves: Devil Gate Drive, Stumblin' In, If You Can't Give Me Love (love it), 48 Crash, Rock Hard (love it), Your Mama Won't Like Me, a few more...
Queen--Absolutely one of my favorite bands. Many memories of playing their albums during my teenage years and beyond. I played "The Game" album over and over again. Loved it. Was very sad when Freddie passed on. Faves: You're My Best Friend, Somebody to Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You, Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Play the Game, Don't Try Suicide, Rock It (Prime Jive), Need Your Lovin' Tonight, These are the Days of Our Lives, many more...
Queensryche--Silent Lucidity got on my nerves after awhile. Never cared to hear anything else by them.
Quiet Riot--I'd rather listen to Slade.

I was trying to remember it myself yesterday, and that sounds right! |

The last P and all 5 Q's!! Pure Prairie League-Their 2 biggest hits came 5 years apart! Amie is a classic rock staple. I remember Let Me Love You Tonight growing up. Hey current country fans, that's Vince Gill on the lead vocals on the latter! Faves-Let Me Love You Tonight, Amie. Quarterflash-Two songs that had lots of MTV play. Just saw one the other day on VH-1 Classic. Decent stuff, sort of at the Motels level. No big threat to Pat Benatar or Joan Jett. Faves-Harden My Heart, Take Me to Heart. Suzi Quatro-This was a sort of unofficial request from Dave. I remember the duet with Chris Norman very well growing up. And I have a video for 49 Bomb on tape, and from what I remember, it sounded similar to Suzi's sister's band's (Fanny) Charity Ball. And yes, she was Leather Tuscadero. (Slap your hip twice and point the gun!). Fave-Stumblin' in (W/Chris Norman) Queen-Yet another band I don't think about how much I like until I see a list of songs. They have so many "signature" songs. Got some great rockers beyond the hits. Too bad about Freddie. Their influence was so far reaching-I mean Metallica AND George Michael at the same tribute concert?? Faves-Tie Your Mother Down, Keep Yourself Alive, Under Pressure (W/Bowie), We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You. Queensryche-I know a couple that absolutely loves these guys. I really only know their two big MTV era hits. Still have not heard Queen of the Reiche. Floyd meets metal. Faves-Jet City Woman, Silent Lucidity (Mother re-write). Quiet Riot-One of the MTV metal bands we were digging in 6th-7th grade, along with Twisted Sister. Had such ridiculous songs and videos! LOL! But it's great nostalgia for me. Faves-Cum On Feel the Noize, Bang Your Head (Metal Health), The Wild and the Young. And you? 1.Pure Prairie League-they had such a nice sound...Aime was a lovely song 2.Quarterflash-Harden My Heart was a good opening song for the movie "Night Shift" 3.Suzi Quatro-not real familiar with her music but I sure do remember Leather Tuscadero! 4.Queen-I have always liked Queen's cool style and sound.I believe Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite 5.Queensryche-no real opinion here,sorry 6.Quiet Riot-this was a real head-banging favorite in my house! |

Post by KittyKat - RIP Luciano on Jul 17, 2003 14:00:32 GMT -5
I hate being so behind...I've been in Spokane for work boo hooo.
Pure Prarie League - I've always like "Amie". I'm not familiar with anything else besides "Let Me Love You...".
Quarterflash - Pat Benatar wanna be all the way. "Harden My Heart" is okay I guess.
Suzi Quatro - Leather!!! My best friend has always been a fan so Suzi's music was played a lot in the car of my teen years while we drove around. Faves: Daytona Demon, Devil Gate Drive, Stumblin In, You Keep A Knockin', I've Never Been In Love
Queen - I know I should listen to them more than I do. They're a band I always seem to forget about. I've always loved Brian May's hair. Faves: Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure, Another One Bites The Dust, Who Wants To Live Forever, Fat Bottomed Girls
Queensryche - Gawd! How I used to love these guys. One of my nicknames is Jet City Woman...hee hee. Except for "Silent Lucidity" (which I never liked) I don't get the comparison to Pink Floyd at all! Faves: Jet City Woman, Best I Can, Anybody Listening?, Revolution Calling, Eyes of A Stranger, I Don't Believe In Love
Quiet Riot - Have you seen Kevin Dubrow lately? With the hair extensions? SO DAMN SAD. Anyway, "Cum On Feel The Noize" is a rock anthem and deserves respect.

Pure Prairie League - Amie is the only song I know by them.
It's pretty much a staple on most southern rock compilations.
Quarterflash - Harden my Heart is the only song I know by them.
Suzi Quatro - Nobody remembers Stumblin' In, but everyone remember Leather.
Queen - One of the best. Freddie's death was tragic and he is still missed. Had one of the best male voices in rock music (imo). Many great timeless classic rock hits. Favorites: Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, Another One Bites the Dust, Barcelona (Freddie & the Opera singer), I Want to Break Free, A Kind of Magic, Somebody to Love, Don't Stop Me Know, Hammer to Fall.
Queensryche - ?
Quiet Riot - Got the Metal Health album. Listen to it sometimes. Favorites: Cum Feel the Noize, Bang Your Head.
