Everybody loves Eileen

[Chef]

God, I love Sirius.

Hadn't heard this song in ages.



Top 3 in the best 90's song intro category.

Awesome. I'd never seen that video, somehow.

Still, nothing compares to the sheer nut-busting vocal power the dude displays on "I'll Never Let You Go." This is still on the very short list of best power ballads of the era.

Steelheart Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mpcincal]

I was a hair metal fan back in the day, but never got into this band for some reason. Decent songs for the genre, though.

I now mostly split my time between Classic Rewind and The Dead channel, though I'll stop by the Hair Nation if I'm flipping through my saved channels.

The one channel I've kind of given up on is Lithium, which was my favorite. I feel like I'm hearing the same 20 songs over and over. Alice in Chains didn't get a hundredth of the air play in the Grunge era that it gets in a day on Lithium. I still go to the channel in search of Pearl Jam songs, but I don't think I can listen to Rooster one more time — and that was my favorite Alice in Chains song.

Steelheart Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defriended! Iggied! Blocked!

And John, the same problem occurs on every station now. I was in the car for a two-hour drive yesterday and heard Bon Jovi twice on the '80s station. I hear Ratt every 90 minutes on Hair Nation. XM is still better than the alternative, but not nearly as good as it used to be.

 

[John]

At least with The Dead channel I know I'm going to hear the same 30-40 songs, though they sound different at every concert.

I don't hate Steelheart or "Everybody Loves Eileen."














Because I've never heard of either. :D

God bless Kurt Cobain.

I had never heard of this band either.

Ditto.

But I do wonder how those guys kept a straight face while dressed and dancing like that.

A sad state of affairs. "I'll Never Let You Go" might be the best slow hard rock song of the 90's.

Played at 4 out of every 5 wedding dances.

These guys were about six years too late to the hair band party.

Not at any weddings I've been, too, including (especially) my own.

It was 1990, dude. Nobody knew any better.

I'll take 'Waxing Nostalgic about Things that Sucked' for $400, Alex.

I hope you never make the NIAFL playoffs. Jerk.

I've seen Steelheart in concert (as an opening act at a festival) and I used to own the CD and I don't remember that song.

"I'll Never Let You Go (Angel Eyes)" is another story.

The band is a one-hit wonder.
