Subject: 1980s All Rock Music Thread

Rock, Punk, Metal, etc.  Post your favourites!

Here is one of my favourite songs of the 80s.  In 1985, British Hard Rock band Magnum released their 5th album titled On A Storyteller's Night and the single Just Like An Arrow peaked at #83 in the UK, giving them technically their first chart single (their first chart appearance was in 1980 as part of an EP).  This song is a fantastic and I never get bored hearing it!

In 1985, Phil Lynott, the lead singer of Thin Lizzy, teamed up with fellow Irish singer/guitarist Gary Moore for the fantastic song Out in the Fields.  It peaked at #5 in the UK and was the final Top 40 hit for Lynott before his passing in January of 1986.  The end of this song features a neat interpolation of the American civil war anthem When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Headpins is a band from Vancouver formed by bassist Ab Bryant and the late guitarist Brian MacLeod as a side project to their band Chilliwack.  In 1982, their debut single Don't It Make Ya Feel peaked at #14 in Canada, and the resulting album Turn it Loud was eventually certified double platinum (200,000 copies sold in Canada) peaking at #7.  This success didn't emulate outside of Canada however, where the album went largely ignored.  In a time when rock and metal was mostly male dominated, it was a nice change to have a female singer!  Crank this one loud!
