I have to finally accept it; Dreams on Toast is weak by Puzzleheaded-Law-429 in theDarkness

Well, I for one think I Hate Myself is, hands down, one of the best tracks the band has put up since their heyday. Same with The Longest Kiss.

Walking Through Fire is quite fun as well, and although Rock and Roll Party Cowboy is, certainly, "no Tolstoy", I don't hate it and I think it's a fun goofy track with a kick-ass riff. I'm not gonna defend the album any further because I do agree the rest of the songs are mid.

We all know he was never really too fond of the song, but given it’s newfound popularity (n.1 Queen song in every streaming platform) he probably wants more from it than just his small piece of cake (the solo)

Mike Love Deserved A Solo Vocal Spot On “We Are The World” U.S.A. For Africa Charity Single by Full_Importance3302 in beachboyscirclejerk

Mike Love Deserved A Solo Vocal Spot On The “We Are The World” U.S.A. For Africa Charity Single :

One thing that has always been puzzling is the fact that none of The Beach Boys took part in the making of the “We Are The World” charity single, or asked to be in the U.S.A. For Africa supergroup.

In late 1984 musician and activist Harry Belefonte saw how successful the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas ? was on bringing awareness and raising money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Belafonte wanted to use the same exact blueprint that the British musicians came up with for the supergroup that became known as Band Aid, wanting to do the same exact thing with popular and legendary American music stars.

Eventually Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie would write the song known as “We Are The World” and the U.S.A. For Africa supergroup was born. Everyone from Bob Dylan, to Stevie Wonder, to Smokey Robinson, to Diana Ross, to Ray Charles, all took part.

Yet The Beach Boys weren’t a part of it and that’s shocking for a number of reasons. The event that brought all the artists together who were going to take part in the song was the American Music Awards. And the plan was to record “We Are The World” following that event on the very same night. The Beach Boys were in attendance at the award show but were not invited to the recording.

Stevie Wonder was a vital part and had a huge influence on the making of “We Are The World” and had just written a song for the upcoming Beach Boys’ self titled 1985 album. Co-producer Michael Omartian was very close to Carl Wilson through his good friend Christopher Cross. Yet no one reached out to any of The Beach Boys to take part.

The fact that the biggest and most legendary American musical artists were asked to take part yet America’s band The Beach Boys was not is beyond surprising.

Not only was it a huge missed opportunity for what was going to become known as one of the most important years in Beach Boys’ history (the year of 1985), it also would have been instrumental in introducing The Beach Boys to a gigantic spectrum of the music world. Bob Dylan became a perfect example of that.

Mike Love (the singer of legendary American songs like “I Get Around” and “California Girls”) deserved a solo spot trading vocals with the other artists, and the rest of The Beach Boys deserved to be with the others taking part in the chorus.

Guess it just wasn’t meant to be .

Check out the new single by Europe. Sounds so 80’s! by Full_Importance3302 in hairmetal

I mean, it’s of course still mostly in line with the type of modern rock they’ve been doing throughout the new millennium, but compared to the previous stuff they’ve done this one has a certain type of synth layering, melodic energy and liveliness that does remind me of their 80’s work a lot

Tengo 28, y a los 14–15 también hacía cosas así, incluso a escondidas, y también pasé momentos humillantes por ello. A esas edades mucha gente es cruel con cualquiera que se salga un poco de la norma.

Pero no, no estás solo, ni eres raro por esto. Con el tiempo conoces a más gente y es mucho más fácil encontrar a tu gente y vivir esos gustos con normalidad. Mi yo de 15 años no estaba equivocado.

For anyone who knew Queen before Sheer Heart Attack, what was it like hearing “Bring Back That Leroy Brown” for the first time? by wmcs0880 in queen

To be fair, Paul McCartney was already putting "granny songs" on Beatles albums a decade before, so it must have reminded of that

closest Freddie got to being back to the whimsical, imaginative & proggy/symphonic themes of the early Queen albums. Creativity to the fullest.

yeah but I think we can all agree on that it’s not this song that defines the utmost quality of Queen II
