my favorite Foreigner-related song is "Midnight Blue", which is ineligible for coming out in 87. & I don't think it's been a classic rock mainstay.

I had an episode of double vision last week and in addition to being freaked out about it I also constantly have the chorus of "Double Vision" playing in my head

is this a classic rock staple outside the US? here nothing post-Hot Space gets a drop of airplay.
― some dude, Monday, 30 June 2014 15:14 (nine years ago) link
It got airplay (and MTV rotation!) when it was new; haven't heard it on the radio since.

But whatever. Hundreds of other songs to vote for. Just reminded of it because of "Double Vision". lol.
One Vision, from the Iron Eagle soundtrack if I'm not mistaken

Yeah, that's the first place I heard it.

yep. me too.

I think I saw Iron Eagle as a double feature with Back to the Future. The power of memory is a curious thing

I don't remember that Queen song, but I remember well the song "Iron Eagle" from that soundtrack. WTF

I don't even remember anything about Iron Eagle, but I did spin the hell out of that soundtrack.
― how's life, Monday, 30 June 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link
maybe it got played a bunch in the movie, or over the credits? neither a classic nor a classic rock staple
xp there it is
― Euler, Monday, 30 June 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
that may be the most 1986 song of all time
I think you're right.

i love one vision!

Today WLUP played Highway to Hell, then two commercials that must be aimed at their core demographic:
* ad for this place http://numalemedical.com where an older man talked about the unanticipated complications that arose from his reduced performance and general ED and how this center helped him fix them* ad for McD's coffee in which a confident man declares that it gives him maximum potency and helped him fix the copier, after which he basked in the praise of his colleagues

do tellforgot there was also an ad for some home network show guy who was having a free seminar to teach ppl how to flip homes. they used the phrase "flip homes" like 50x and claimed that this was a hot ticket, so call soon for your free tickets to this informative seminar that will make you money/help you advance in the world.

ha ha On the "Old School" station I've been listening to they keep playing ads about Obamacare, "Cash for Clunkers is back!" and how to "get the government subsidies that you deserve!" It's like a Republican's nightmare.

feel like there should be a sub-poll for songs with sax solos― mookieproof, Monday, 30 June 2014 01:31
Have mentioned before (on a sax thread) running a discrete poll on this subject. If there's interest, I'll add to the list (for running in 2018 or whatever).

I'm curious as to what Boston hits make the poll, outside of "More Than a Feeling" which has to be a lock for somewhere in the top 100.
― intheblanks, Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:18 (nine years ago) link
I feel a little bad about not voting for any others. "Hitch a Ride" might actually be my favourite from that album, I thought while listening the other day.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:41 (nine years ago) link
I voted for the album in the albums poll, though.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 24 July 2014 04:42 (nine years ago) link
voted for two from boston's debut, felt quite bad about not voting for at least two others. throwing two darts at the album and voting for whatever titles they hit would have been as satisfying, and maybe as useful, as choosing the two i chose.

i'm hashing out the top 100, getting it ready to send to gr80 to do images. you crazy bastards voted for 918 different songs!

― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 24 July 2014 05:44 (nine years ago) link
i will tabulate the list to the top 500 and post it at the end of the countdown. but i think a top 100 will be best because then a) every song will have the weight of a dozen votes or more and b) enough huge songs missed the top 100 completely that there will be some genuine suspense and surprises.
― not pop, shambhala, where to buy weed (some dude), Thursday, 24 July 2014 05:46 (nine years ago) link
500?! that's gotta be at least half the nomination list

A dozen to make the list! My number one isn't gonna make it I don't think :(
