That's really all I listen to. Am a big Boston, Rush, Foreigner. Who, Stones fanatic. Do like a lot of the groups not so popular like Alan Parsons, The Gods, Truimph. I watch Rick Beato's "What makes this song great" videos as well. I don't usually like covers but if done well its at least something different. One cover band I do like is the Lexington Lab Band. They are on You Tube as well. They do many different covers. They have a core band and have different vocalists come in and sing. Some of the songs are better than the original group does it. Not a Bad Co fan really but they do them really well. My favorite video they do is the Warrior. Amanda's voice is golden. Do check them out.

Welcome ! .... To post a video it's quite simple.Simply find the video you like on u tube. Of course downsize your class racer and open up a browser of you choice like (Chrome ect...)
1) Type in "Alan Parsons U tube", all the selections will come up.
2) Click on the video arrow to start the song playing the song of your choice.... while its playing, right click on your mouse. The second choice in your drop-down box will be "Copy video URL" ... Left click it...
3) Simply go back and upsize class racer and in your post, paste as you normally would. ( Right click to bring up box, select "Paste" with your left mouse.You will see all letters and numbers, but when you post it will load the video... simple

I can't believe someone on here likes the Godz. Wow man, I listened to those guys in all the surrounding bars A LOT ! They played here couple times a month for several years. The lead guitar player quit and went with Bob Segers band and they were never quite the same. Last summer, the bass player and lead singer was scheduled for a reunion gig here in town and he died the night before of bladder cancer and the concert was cancelled.. I'm gonna play this tune just for you. Its a song about climbing on a Harley, no sure destination, and just driving west. Mark Chatfield is one heck of a guitar player, and this song has a several minute solo that's is just over the top cool ... Enjoy !

Long overdue for my Canadian friends;

Good choice Mark. Never heard that version. Obviously I like it better than the dumb'ed down version ..
Supertramps "Crime of the Century" is in my 5 top albums off all. There isn't too many albums or CD's that you look forward to playing the entire thing. This is one such album. I'll pick a song that on a good system, is mixed superbly. Good impact, dynamic everything. And a good tune ...

Good post Mark on some local boys!.When Randy Bachman left the Guess Who in the early 70's,he formed BTO with Fred Turner.They were one of the hardest rockin' bands in the mid 70's.Every car guy had a BTO 8 track!.The band had a drag racing connection,Fred Turner was the flag starter at our local track in the mid 60's.This track may not be as well known as their others,but you can't mistake Fred's voice!...gsa612

I'm gonna rough it up a little bit today. I always liked this song from Aerosmith. I've heard it Steve Tyler's favorite song of theirs.
