Corporate Rock bands of the 70's and 80's... which ones did you like? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dean Winchester · 11-05-2004, 10:03 PM

one of the most maligned genres ever in music were the corporate rock bands of the 70's and 80's. Critics hated them and the vast majority of them are now playing clubs near you with not even half the original members, but surely there were some you liked. If so who?

Dean Winchester · 11-05-2004, 10:07 PM

I vote Foreigner, Journey and Boston

Brian · 11-05-2004, 10:07 PM

Journey. They had quite a few good songs I like.

I also like Asia's "Heat of the Moment."

I saw Foreigner in concert, and they were incredible

I also liked Survivor. They did some really great songs for the Rocky series. My favorite song from them is "Eye of the Tiger." Best song to listen to while exercising and working out.

Skywalker · 11-05-2004, 10:27 PM

I like all of those bands

Journey is my favorite "corporate rock band"

Journey - my first taste of Journey was with Who's Crying Now. I liked them, have their greatest hits album.

REO Speedwagon - I like (now more than then) Keep On Loving You and Take It On The Run.

Styx - For some reason they always turned me off, but there was a song or two that I liked. I just don't remember which one.

Foreigner - I liked them: Urgent, Waiting For A Girl Like You, Juke Box Hero. They were cool.

Boston - was never really familiar with their music, only know More Than A Feeling (that was Boston, right?)

Loverboy - I really liked this guys: Working For The Weekend, When It's Over and a few others.

Survivor - Aside from Eye of The Tiger, which I always loved, they didn't make much of an impression on me.

Night Ranger - don't care for them. Sister Christian:

Asia - I liked the first two singles: Heat of The Moment and Only Time Will Tell. I didn't pay attention after that.

Kansas - I don't know their music

So I vote for Journey, Foreigner and Loverboy.

TJL · 11-05-2004, 10:28 PM

Wow, so many choices.

Journey had some good stuff. Ditto for REO Speedwagon and Asia.

Crap, I just thought of Loverboy's "Working For The Weekend" and now I can't get the song out of my head.

Jrnygrl · 11-05-2004, 11:30 PM

JOURNEY!

That was a really hard choice!

Nighthawk76 · 11-06-2004, 12:24 PM

Journey and Survivor. I think Journey will pick up the most votes, because I can't think of anyone who does not own their greatest hits album.

dr frasier crane · 11-06-2004, 11:10 PM

Actually i like all of those bands, especially Foreigner and Boston.

crystals · 11-07-2004, 01:15 AM

Sister Christian oh the time has come...

I hate the term "corporate rock"

I loved most of these bands even before they were labeled as "corporate rock"

What a bunch of dung! Listen to what you like- regardless of what mainstream media lables it!

Listen to what is played on the radio today- you'll hear what "corporate music" really is
