Some great guitar playing by Trevor Rabin on this song:
"Owner Of A Lonely Heart" - Yes
I just love her as a songwriter...such a talented lady. I found an interesting video on YouTube earlier this week where she talks about the songwriting process behind "Luka." I thought it was fascinating:

Not a bad guitar player for a comedy writer! ๐ I love "Classical Gas"...one of the all-time great guitar-based music compositions:

All great choices...love "The A-Team" theme also! Thanks for responding!
I think the very first AC/DC track without Bon Scott and with Brian Johnson: "Back In Black."
When it comes to ๐... I'm a "leg man." Unfortunately for me, my two oldest boys also love the legs, so I usually sacrifice and eat what they won't. It's all chicken anyway! ๐
Yes, we're on pretty similar pages. The problem they have now is...at this point, what difference would it make changing the name? The damage has been done. It's really been a screwed-up process from the beginning (Can you believe that The Beatles were not in the inaugural list of inductees? And, without Googling, can you tell me who Lloyd Price was?).
I used to belong to a guitar website 20 years ago and one of the members there was really knowledgeable about music back then. He put a lot of the blame on Jann Wenner (former editor for "Rolling Stone" magazine) as to why the nominees/inductees processes were so screwed up.
Yes...and looking at the musical artists that have been inducted over the years (especially recent years), you have a better chance of making it if you're not a "rock artist" than if you are! ๐
My family and I went on a cruise to The Bahamas in early January 2020. We all enjoyed it, but I don't think it's something we'll ever do again. Nassau was a lot of fun (We got to swim in the ocean there) and Freeport was OK, except it was unseasonably cooler and windy that day. I'm glad we went, but probably not something we'll ever do again.
Every time I see the list of nominees, it makes me sick as to how much the selection process has been butchered over the years.
My thoughts:
1) Bad Company - should have been in years ago. Great band, lots of hits in the 70s and 80s.
2) Chubby Checker - should be in because of "The Twist" alone. One of the greatest songs of the "early rock & roll era."
3) Joe Cocker - also should have been in years ago. My favorite song of his is a track that he did past his heyday called "When The Night Comes" (I think this was released around late 1989/early 1990). What a great song that is.
4) Billy Idol - again, should have been in years ago. He'll make it this time, I figure...so many great songs throughout the 80s and early 90s.
5) The Black Crowes - I hope they get in also, because they deserve it. Their first two albums were fabulous.
6) Oasis - Should get in just because of "Wonderwall." Great song and one of those "Man, I've got to learn this song on the guitar!" for younger generations.
7) Soundgarden - should be in also. I miss Chris Cornell. ๐ฅ
8) Phish - To be honest, I never really got into their music, except for "Bouncing Around The Room." I love that song, especially their live versions of it. One of my former co-workers was a big Phish fan when we worked together in the early 90s. I wouldn't mind if they got in, even though I really don't know their entire music catalog at all
9) The White Stripes - again, a band that I've never really listened to that much. However, I do know "Seven Nation Army" and (like "Wonderwall") that's a "must learn how to play" for a lot of beginning guitar players.
10) Cyndi Lauper - I love a lot of her music. More "pop" probably than "rock," but she has some great songs in her repertoire and can really sing. If Madonna made it (๐คฌ), then she should also.
11) Mariah Carey - I think she is way too "pop" and not enough "rock" (She could sing, but I never really cared much for her music). That probably means she'll easily get in! ๐
12) Joy Division/New Order - I don't know enough about them to say. I think sslssg knows this band a lot better than I do.
13) Mana - no idea who this is either.
14) Outkast - I only know "Hey Ya!" and I think that's a terrific song. They seem more "hip-hop"/"rap" to me... they'll probably get in also! ๐
Agreed ๐ฏ...a real American hero. He was from West Virginia and one of his cousins was Steve Yeager, who was a long-time MLB catcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Charleston's airport (the capital city of West Virginia, for those outside the USA and not familiar with American geography) is also named after him.
Another very interesting perspective! Your account really goes to show how the OJ saga was such an "American-centered story" (Overseas, he was pretty much known as the actor in "The Naked Gun'" movies..."American Football" was pretty much limited to North America back then, so people overseas didn't know or care about his football background like I did). I can understand your mom's reaction to it all...it really became a circus in a hurry! ๐ And that is fascinating to me that you didn't find out about it until about a month after the murders!
Thinking again about your mom's reaction to the news coverage... I've always felt that the OJ Simpson coverage and trial forever changed the way our American media covered news events (and, overall, not in a good way, unfortunately). It wasn't enough to cover a story and to get all the facts correct. It was about "breaking news" and being first to break the story. It was unreal and there was no getting away from it...it really was 24/7 coverage for so long (Even after the trial ended, it was still covered by the media afterward... analysis of the verdict, the jury, the trial, etc.).
Thanks for responding!
Sounds great! Looking forward to it!
Wow, another one who was in the area of "The Chase." Thanks for the response!
Interesting! I remember reading that, overseas, OJ was primarily referred to as "the actor from 'The Naked Gun' movies." I loved him in those movies also, but he was first and foremost known for his football background. He was the main sideline reporter for NBC back in the day.
