Crimes of Passion - Benatar

Great choice...Pat Benatar doesn't get mentioned enough around here. What a great voice.

 

I need to listen to her albums that my mom gave to me. I've always loved her songs.

We played this one to death back in the day. Treat Me Right, You Better Run, Hell Is For Children...

Great choice VT, I love it !!

 

I saw 'em back in 1994 - one of the best live shows ever

Cool Lucas! That would've been the 'Rock Animals' tour I guess?

I saw the Happy Hour tour in Toronto years ago, at the Horseshoe Tavern of all places. A great show, great set-list, super-fun!

These lists are always impossible for me.

 

Do you have any idea how much music I listen to :haz: :7up:

1. Revolver - Beatles

2. White Album - Beatles

3. Abbey Road - Beatles

4. Permanent Waves - Rush

5. Moving Pictures - Rush

6. Achtung Baby - U2

7. Who's Next - The Who

8. The Yes Album - Yes

9. Relayer - Yes

10. Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
