Ffs what even is "Your Love". To mouth it mildly Boston's song is more popular.

I grew up in the 80s and can sing along almost perfectly with "Africa" and "More than a Feeling" and have no idea what "Your Love" even is.

seriously, you have heard "your love" four hundred times, i swear to you. i thought i hadn't heard it either, it just has the most generic title imaginable. if it had been called "I Just Wanna Use Your Love (Toni-i-ight)" a lot of confusion could have been avoided.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 24 September 2017 04:33 (six years ago) link
oh yeah I totally know that song but wouldn't had you not explained lol
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 24 September 2017 04:41 (six years ago) link
but no way is that shit more popular than MTAF, I used to sing MTAF to myself when I was 9 and that was 1990
'More Than a Feeling' has quite possibly featured on the majority of all rock compilations that have been released since 1976. I can't think of a classic rock song that seems to have been everywhere like that one, apart from maybe 'Sweet Child o' Mine', but even then it's not even close.

More Than A Feeling is epochal, and a total "song x invents band y" mainstay.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 24 September 2017 13:28 (six years ago) link
Tom Scholz has probably made more money from 'More Than a Feeling' alone than a lot of bands have made in their entire careers.
― more Allegro-like (Turrican), Sunday, 24 September 2017 13:31 (six years ago) link
That's why it's called "More Than a Feeling," iirc.

If nothing else, this discussion got me to pay attention to the lyrics to "Your Love". Guy is a total slimeball!

I'm 47 years old and familiar with all the music in this thread, with the exception of "Your Love" - hearing it for the first time now, and my authentic hot take is that it is an utter pile of shit - strained vocal, horrendous production, repellent lyric, generic chord progression.
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Sunday, 24 September 2017 22:13 (six years ago) link
im 41 and thought i didn't know a song called "Your Love" until Doc Casino called it "I Just Wanna Use Your Love (Toni-i-ight)" and then i realized, yes, i have heard it a million times. (in fact, just heard it in the background of a football game.)
i srsly cannot fathom how a 47yo familiar w/ everything else in this thread has never heard it
― alpine static, Sunday, 24 September 2017 22:34 (six years ago) link
Idk where MatthewK is but I really don't think it's that big of a song in a lot of places outside the US (and I guess where Moka lives - Mexico iirc?).
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Sunday, 24 September 2017 22:45 (six years ago) link
Despite the band being from London, the song was a hit only in the United States, where it reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Mainstream Rock chart in 1986.
I'm in Ireland and I'm definitely familiar with the song but also didn't know the title or the band
― Number None, Sunday, 24 September 2017 22:53 (six years ago) link
I grew up in Australia - neither the song nor The Outfield in general had or have any presence here whatsoever.
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Sunday, 24 September 2017 23:13 (six years ago) link

OK, I stand corrected, I 100% know this song. But not as well as I know "Africa," that's for damn sure!
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 25 September 2017 04:46 (six years ago) link
here are two remixes of Toto "Africa" i came up with earlier this year. there are two tracks, one is the main beat/instrumental hook with some digital noise effects, the other is a 22 minute long chopped and screwed version of the same. this will be available for download for the next week:

liking the repeating groove a lot, even tho the vocals and the chorus add a lot of emotion it's perhaps the verse groove that's truly undeniable about this song
― niels, Thursday, 28 September 2017 16:14 (six years ago) link
I’m 47 and have heard YL about 1,400 times and my cold take is identical to your hot take. One of my least favorite top 40 hits of all time and a noisome stain on the standard eighties radio playlist
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Friday, 29 September 2017 23:18 (six years ago) link
Yeah in “classic rock” radio in Mexico “Your Love” is bigger than “more than a feeling” which you very rarely hear. Classic rock radio over here is a bit strange, per example: there’s noone I know who knows what a Fleetwood Mac is and in the US/UK Rumours is one of the 10 best selling albums of all time.
Africa has always been on rotation. I might tune in one of these days and share a tracklist so you can compare.

That video doesn't work for me, but I know exactly what it is and it is a jam.
Don't think those count as keytars though, I suspect we are maybe in the pre-keytar era and that those are just keyboards hanging heavy around their necks.

They're sort of proto-keytars. If you wanted, back in the mid-70s, Moog could split your Minimoog in two and provide you with the keyboard as a separate unit, that could be connected via a long multi-core cable to the sound-generating half of the instrument. They probably got the idea from seeing Edgar Winter perform 'Frankenstein' with the keyboard for his ARP 2600 hanging from his shoulders. (The 2600's keyboard was designed to be free-standing.)
