Mojo Filter's Top 50 Bands
This was a tough list for me to compile, but I believe the following list of pop/rock bands represents my all-time Top 50 Bands. I will list them in separate posts starting at number 50 and counting down to 1. Here goes... 50. BON JOVI http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/or...54ebdf3fb6.jpg Yes, I know, they're not necessarily the "bad boys" of rock, but they sure have some really infectious songs that span 30+ years. My favorite songs: Runaway Livin' On A Prayer You Give Love A Bad Name Bad Medicine Keep The Faith In These Arms Something For The Pain Lie To Me Wanted Dead Or Alive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRvCvsRp5ho My favorite album: Keep The Faith http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vJww-lUzbm...+The+Faith.jpg |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
Loved Bon Jovi back in the day. Slippery When Wet was a great album and I still love Blaze Of Glory.

49. HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS http://images2.alphacoders.com/199/199992.jpg Growing up in the 80's, there was no escaping the soulful sound and catchy tunes of Huey Lewis and his News. My favorite songs: Do You Believe In Love? If This Is It I Want A New Drug Heart And Soul The Power Of Love Bad Is Bad Walking On A Thin Line Stuck With You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J08ZwySCoJ8 My favorite album: Sports http://eastvalleyteam.com/wp-content...d-the-News.jpg |
48. COLDPLAY http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i6FaeyxstR...ldplay1024.jpg I've been hooked on Coldplay's music ever since I heard Yellow in 2000. Chris Martin is one of the most gifted singer/songwriters of our time. My favorite songs: Yellow In My Place Clocks Speed Of Sound Paradise Fix You Shiver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XFFTWwSvY My favorite album: Parachutes http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qA8kicKzQk...Parachutes.jpg |
I'll never admit to being a Jovi fan, but I probably listened to the cassingle of Blaze of Glory for an entire summer all day long. My sister had New Jersey and I remember how great that sounded sitting in my suicide seat in our Celebrity wagon.
Anyone talks sideways about the News, Robert Stack is putting you on tv. That's pure B2F. Really nice production value mojo. |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
A music list I can get on board with. Never been a Huey Lewis fan, but his music is very easy to listen too and sing along with. I like the group, especially the stuff from BTTF. Coldplay is great. If they had been around when I was in HS I would have had them on a loop. I just don't listen to music all that often. I have heard all their albums though, and think they are great.

Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
I quite like Cold play. Not exactly a big fan but I do feel they are one of the most unnecessarily over hated bands.

Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
Nothing that overly pops out at me yet but it's your list, not mine. I love the post design.
I also agree with Camo that Coldplay is unnecessarily over hated. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I never had a problem with them, and was always confused when people said they were terrible or something. |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
Thumbs up for Bon Jovi and Huey Lewis. Not my all-time favourites, but I do like a few songs/albums of theirs.
Coldplay are alright. I used to hate them, but I was swayed by "The Scientist". Great song. |
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Not a fan of Coldplay but I do like The News and Bon Jovi. I also like Lay Your hands on Me from the latter, and I'd say Heart and Soul is my favorite from The News.

Re: Mojo Filter's Top 40 Bands
Awesome list Mojo!
I'll listen to Bon Jovi any day and way back in the day I remember listening to Huey Lewis and the News a lot! I even seen them in concert they opened for The Police on the Synchronicity tour. Huey and the boys really know how to perform live, they weren't rock stars, they were just a bunch of guys jammin out. Coldplay!, love their music, it's so poetic and deep. |
47. ROXETTE http://www.radiotopclasica.com/wp-co...oxette_322.jpg The sultry voice of Marie Fredriksson combined with the smashing guitar and song lyrics of Per Gessle made Swedish musical duo Roxette one of the best pop acts of the late 80's and early 90's. My favorite songs: The Look Dangerous How Do You Do? Spending My Time It Must Have Been Love Vulnerable Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fGLiIvKKys My favorite album: Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus http://e.nuestromercado.e3.pe/images...0_10_42_49.jpg |
46. GOO GOO DOLLS http://i.neoseeker.com/n/3/googoodolls.jpg To many, the Dolls are a punk rock band that sold out for more radio-friendly tunes and commercial success. To me, one of the best rock bands in the post-grunge 90's music scene. My favorite songs: Black Balloon Broadway Sympathy Stay With You Better Days Name https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQOBUrRaPU0 My favorite album: Let Love In http://www.amiright.com/album-cover-...et-Love-In.jpg |
Re: Mojo Filter's Top 50 Bands
I really don't know Roxette besides The Look. Goo Goo Dolls are from my hometown. I have always enjoyed them.

I've never seen Huey Lewis live, but I'm sure it's hell of a lot of fun. Coldplay is the modern day U2. That's how I see them |

I take it you're from Buffalo, New York then :) I enjoy them as well. John Rzeznik is very talented. |

45. AIR SUPPLY http://resources2.news.com.au/images...3d4d841c99.jpg I credit my parents for this entry, and for that I am ever so grateful. The soft rock duo from Australia made some of the most beautiful power ballads in the late 70's and 80's. My favorite songs: Lost In Love Even The Nights Are Better Lonely Is The Night Making Love Out Of Nothing At All All Out Of Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWdZEumNRmI My favorite album: Greatest Hits http://fanart.tv/fanart/music/df9a19...e47a2aee75.jpg |
44. SOUNDGARDEN http://mewsicknow.files.wordpress.co...oundgarden.jpg Chris Cornell and company were arguably the best alternative rock band of the 90's. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and R.E.M. fans tend to disagree. My favorite songs: Spoonman Fell On Black Days Blow Up The Outside World Black Hole Sun Burden In My Hand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmIqIVxUuKs My favorite album: Superunknown http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4qcKlVfbOt...perunknown.jpg |
