I am a former guitar player who was at one time, obssessed with hard rock playing and I was constnatly stuggling to form a band that got off the ground....this was years ago when I was in in my 20s, and I never got very far, even though I was somewhat of an accomplished player myself.

I got married and drifted away from playing..........but all these years later, those lighter 80s rock songs (I played heavier stuff) still strike a chord with me. Some of them are so timeless and hypnotic as they take you back to whatever expersiences you had in the 80s when we were young and experiencing life. These particular songs remind me of my now deceased brother, among other times and experiences of years gone by.

These guys are so good on these covers. Some of their covers are better than the originals.

Many more on the left menu.

Thought some of you might appreciate these.
