Thanks Rewind 100.7, Hair Metal Highlights Def Leppard, Poison and Lita Ford

Hello,

Most radio stations in the Salt Lake market like to have DJs talk and play too many commercials over playing music. That's pretty much all radio stations in this market. Even sports talk radio stations have an overabundance of commercials. For instance, on ESPN700 yesterday, they had 7 straight minutes of commercials. (Yes, I timed it.) They played actual commercials for 5 minutes then Hans Olsen and Bill Riley talked for two minutes about one of their sponsors. I understand a radio station is in business and their main (only?) purpose is to make money, but don't they realize how 7 minutes of commercials annoys? By the way I only remember one of those sponsors that they talked about.

Thank goodness for Rewind 100.7. Driving to work this morning, they played no commercials and the DJ only talked briefly. They played 6 great songs back to back. This was that great playlist 1) "Man Eater"- Hall & Oates 2) "Le Freak"- Chic 3) "Call Me"- Blondie 4) "Angel"- Aerosmith 5) "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and then closed that run of great songs with 6) Sister Sledge's "We Are Family".

In honor of the triple bill of Def Leppard, Poison and Lita Ford playing tomorrow night at the Usana Ampitheatre (one of the worst places to see a concert), here's a few selections by each. Two of the best concerts I've seen have been Def Leppard concerts. I saw them on their Hysteria tour and they kicked butt. Then I saw them several years later at the Utah State fairgrounds. I had second row seats and the boys were on their game that night. The band was amazing and Joe Elliot was in great form that night. And again they kicked butt. Here's some of their great hair metal classics:

Let's start off with perhaps the greatest of all the rock bands of this era, Def Leppard. In all due respect to Joe Elliot, if Def Leppard isn't heavy metal then what are they?

"Animal":



"Photograph"



"Foolin":



"Bringin' On The Heartbreak":



Again Poison is another hair metal band that isn't in any danger of Mensa membership. Poison hair metal highlights:

One of my all-time favorite songs and perhaps the greatest rock ballad ever, "Every Rose Has It's Thorn":



"Fallen Angel": (I'm sure that Poison wasn't responsible for any fallen angels.)



"Talk Dirty To Me":



"Nothing But A Good Time":



I do wonder if tomorrow night Lita will sing any Runaways songs? Lita Ford highlights: this first song is easily her most famous song. I love that her voice live is so raspy, there's something very sexy about it.



Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford's "If I Close My Eyes Forever":



Will she sing this Runaway's song? "Cherry Bomb":
