It's Europe's Final Countdown for me.

Still cranking up the volume.

It's on all of my playlists.

Don't care, if people saying it's boring.

Yes, they had other hits too, but radios played mostly Final Countdown and Carrie.

Best era for rock and metal in my opinion.

Even pop music was more digestible.

They are 60's and 70's, but Freebird is definitely up there.

I was going to mention it, but it falls more into power ballad territory, no?

What was the name of this Millenial show in the 10s that was like a wannabe “Fame” show? Can’t remember the name… they used the somg to death there and butchered it, which put me off it forever.

The Toy Dolls (remember their version of Nellie the Elephant) did a version of the Final Countdown with kazoos.

Couple of great tracks from left field

Every Mothers Nightmare - Long Haired Country Boys.. bit of a stormer this one.

Dirty Looks - Oh Ruby.. can't miss the DC influence.

Mass - Voices in The Night.. Christian Metal Band, so not everyone's cup of tea, but a great rock song nonetheless.

He was the better singer for sure.

Quite wide range considering had a deep voice in general. Almost like the young David Coverdale. They were going to tour with both singers, but then he died.

I would have paid big bucks to see that.
