Okay, Enough Disco Crap..Let's Do....

Rock Anthems!

To my mind, this is the quintessential rock anthem:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Thunder Road...

Nobody does over-the-top rock anthems like Michael Aday and Jim Steinman!

Video stars a teenage Angelina Jolie...


Robert Patrick (shapeshifting Terminator from T2) is in this one...


And, of course...his "Beauty and the Beast" video. Woman in the vid is Dana Patrick, female vocals by "Mrs. Loud", aka Lorraine Crosby (from Walker, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne)...originally, it was supposed to be sung by Cher, Melissa Ethridge (!), or Bonnie Tyler.

Good God, that was hideous.....

Was that supposed to be music? Or an imitation of cats being tortured to death?

You have that kind of taste and you have the temerity to mock my choices?

Hmmm, you all know I adore the 62-year-old rocker from NJ (I've already seen him once this year, am seeing him again in September, and trying to fit in one of the August shows in Fenway), but his music *isn't* rock anthem" music, it's about story-telling. Yes, it plays well in a big stadium setting, but the music is far more complex than a "rock anthem," which I think of as loud and repetitive with a simple repeating chorus. That is definitely *not* Thunder Road. Born to Run is closer.

And BTW, putting Bruce in the same category as Meatloaf is just wrong.
