Dayyyummmm....

Susanna Hoffs, formerly lead singer for The Bangles, covers this Bad Company hit---and sends me back through puberty. Not only can she sing, but that lady can MOOVE! Yeah--Dayyummm.

Just wondering, not arguing as taste is such an individual thing.
For me, Foreigner did very well-crafted tunes with a fantastic singer.
That's how I feel about Bad Company, too.
Just wondering why you like one, but not the other.

the set-list programmers who had no connection to the region where the music was being played. It seemed like their default. saturation group was Foreigner. To me, they represented everything that was wrong with blap radio.

I had that feeling about WDRV (classic rock)here in Chicago who played, IMO, too much Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, The Who.
With 30+ years to select from, there were great bands effectively ignored.
So, I get it.

See what I did there?
The bands I knew from Chicago/Illinois back then were Cheap Trick, REO, Starcastle, Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah, and Shaadows Of Knight.
Later, I knew the folks in Survivor & Smashing Pumpkins.
Even though I knew them I wasn't a big fan of most of them. Go figure

She sings it well, the backing vocals are really cool, and the funky rhythm during the verses is a really good idea.
My only criticism is the guitar solo. Seemed kind of aimless & scattered, without the technique to pull off abstract.

So glad they are FINALLY going to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame.

Paul Rodgers has always had one of the sexiest voices in rock. Their first single:




The B side of that was an inferior early version of a song that sounded much better when they did it for Don Kirshner's Rock.Concert in 1974. Love the outro here, starting about 3:00:
