Always liked Don't Fight It the best! :)

Missing You,You Better Wait and She's Mine..love them all  8)

modified to add Foolish Heart!! :)

"Foolish Heart" is the best, but I like the whole Street Talk album.

"Oh Sherrie/Go Away/Foolish Heart/Strung Out" all sounded like mid '80s Journey anyway.

Oh, Sherrie

Don't Fight It was great but Foolish Heart gets me every time.

Oh, Sherrie
Foolish Heart

I liked "Oh, Sherrie" best.  :)

8) I love Oh Sherrie..cause thats my name...I didnt care for the video tho...

I always wondered why he let his career stagnate after the mid 80's. A damn good singer from a great band that wrote catchy light rock/pop songs.

Aww, you didn't? It was pretty cool from what I recall. ;)

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (I might be missing some important details - it's been over 10 years since I last saw it on VH1), but didn't it take place in a hotel lobby or something like that? He and "Sherrie" were there as he was singing the song to her.

I do recall the little bit at the end though, where they leave together as some guy is yelling at him ("STEEEEVE!" as he goes out the front door). ;D

I saw the band's Behind The Music episode some time back. Don't recall exactly, but I think he was just burned out from nearly a decade of nonstop albums/recording/touring, etc. The rest of the band I think, felt he was taking too much artistic control of the band.

P.S. This was my favorite period for them. Really, the hits from Frontiers, solo hits from Street Talk, and most of the Raised on Radio album all kinda sounded similar (i.e. that unmistakable "pop/arena rock/keyboard" '80s sound).

I need to see that BTM. They shouldnt have taken such a long break. Maybe from touring, but they should have gotten an album of new material out in late 80's/early 90's to stay relevant.

My singing voice s*cks as far as carrying notes like that (I sound kinda like Butthead, from Beavis & Butthead, LOL), but I'll give it my best.

"Shoulda been gooooooonnnnnnnnnneeeeeee! Knowin' how I.....made ya feeeel! And I shoulda been gooooonnnnnnne! After all of your....wo-rds of ste-eeel!"

;)

True. And thanks, LOL. :)

BTW, on a related note, I only recently found out the real words to the song. I always thought it was "Oh Sherrie, oh Lord, hold on" but it's really "Our love holds on."

That makes alot more sense. ;)

Thats so funny that you mentioned that...This needs to be a new thread..there are soooo many songs that for Years I was singing the wrong lyrics to...So many I have in my head but cannot remember right now... ;D

I don't usually go into the "Song Lyrics" section but there's probably something like that over there.

Oh, I've heard tons wrong too. I think a big part of that is, (1) the music kinda drowns out the vocals sometimes, (2) if they've got an accent or are pronouncing something different, fast or slow, etc.

Also, factor in that I've been listening to music since I was 3 or 4! So yeah, there were many songs that I interpreted wrong, and several years later once I was old enough to "get" things, took on totally new meanings to me, LOL.

For example, in "That's What Friends Are For", I thought "you can count on me" meant truly COUNT on them (as in 1, 2, 3). ;D

;D YEP..LOL....I am still trying to think of some of the lyrics..but my brain..is...well...brain dead right now..LOOL..................... :o

"Oh Sherrie"
