Blanche - "Another Lost Summer"
oh, it hasn't?...(raises eyebrow)
― hank (hank s), Monday, 21 August 2006 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link
Garth Brooks's "That Summer" (another one about being deflowered by an older woman) feels pretty verge-of-autumn as well, maybe because he keeps talking about wheatfields, and also because maybe all songs wistfully nostaglic for summer = late summer, except when they don't.
But Garth is from Oklahoma, where most of the wheat grown is winter wheat. Winter wheat is typically harvested in mid June, not even summer!
I dig the song, though, and agree that it fits in the thread.

Zebra - "Wait Til The Summer's Gone" (Fastway-style post-Zep pop-metal AOR from 1984)

I haven't heard Zebra since sitting on the school bus, driven by Otto, back in 1984. I really liked "Who's Behind the Door". Is there much more to them?

From Rolling Metal thread, earlier this week:
This morning I am listening to Zebra (two-LPs one one CD reissue of No Tellin Lies and 3.V, which I've never heard before though Martin Popoff insists that they're not quite as good as the self-titled debut LP which I bought a copy of for $1 a few months back but still haven't gotten around to putting on yet-- xhuxk, Saturday, June 9, 2007 4:35 PM (6 days ago) Bookmark Link
my favorite Zebra songs so far are "I Don't Like It", "Drive Me Crazy," and the curiously jazz-swung "I Don't Care," all on No Tellin' Lies. "About To Make The Time" on 3.V, on the other hand, sounds exactly like Styx. The singer, as others have pointed out, has a helium falsetto maybe almost worthy of the guy in Pavlov's Dog. His high notes in "Isn't That The Way" could nearly pass for Frankie Valli or Lou Christie, which may well be unprecedented in the hard rock realm. Basically, though, they're a Zeppy AOR band in the Fastway or Kingdom Come sense, and I'm liking them a whole lot. (When they were sharing CD-changer space with Swan Song sisters Lez Zeppelin yesterday, I kept getting confused because songs would come up that sounded like Zeppelin but weren't otherwise familiar, and then I'd remember that Zebra were also in the mix.)

Zebra were a huge bar band in the New Jersey->Long Island metro area for years prior to their first record, which as I may recall, had a good version of the Beatles' "Slow Down" on it. Like Twisted Sister, like Rat Race Choir, the latter which never made it. I remember ignoring Zebra a lot at the Allentown Fairgrounds or other big LV venues. They did hit the same audience as Kingdom Come whose second album didn't sound nearly as much like Zep as the first which had the Kashmir cop on it. I actually still like the second KC LP.

My favorite track on 3.V is "Better Not Call," I think -- new wave disco-metal powerpop, sweet!

Man I was never really a big fan of Buffalo Tom but I just went back and listened to "Summer" which was on one of those old CMJ CDs I somehow still had and thats a pretty great tune. Such great vocal melodies.
Not much of a fan either, but that was a solid tune that one.
