Yes. The haunting use of the song in "Boogie Nights" was pitch-perfect, though.Side question, would the folks picking "Sister Christian" have picked it if the movie "Boogie Nights" had never been made?

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" is in my top-3 all-time fav songs. I am not sure that I'd classify it as a ballad though... definitely a rocker after the line "the sands of time for me are running slow".Originally Posted by M2
The ballad thing has never done much for me. I have always been a "head banger" and tend to forward through the ballads. "Crying" by Joe Satriani is a great slow-song though!
When you know that your time is close at hand... maybe then you'll begin to understand that life down here is just a strange illusion.
Jeez, don't laugh. I'm an '80s high school boy and I turn 40 this year.

Yes... we are the ones with the good record collections.
My dad says different, and Bob Feller called, he wants his shtick back.
Be honest now, do you actually own any working record players?
I'd put you as 70/30 odds you have one that works, I'd put you at 60/40 that you have used it in the last 60 days, and I'd put you at 40/60 that you have a bit of money invested in being able to play those scratchy little buggars.

I have one CD by him, the one with the CB Orch at the Sands./listening to some Sinatra at work today.
Otherwise my crooner of choice is George Jones.
Sell out!
I worked on my neighbors dairy farm when I was a kid. Their tractors has 8 track players on them, so I remember buying a 3 Dog Night 8 track at a garage sale so I had something to listen to in the field.

I have no illusions of being cool anymore. I have my hands full just trying to be the "cool uncle".
8 tracks were my introduction to the Beatles.. Columbia Record ClubSell out!

Your Mom is happy.
I turn 40 next month and yes, I have a turntable (Technics linear tracking direct drive that I have had since about '85). It works (had it refurbed in mid 90's) and we have used it recentlyMy dad says different, and Bob Feller called, he wants his shtick back.

/listening to some Sinatra at work today.WE especially use it arounfd the holidays to play some old classics that we don't have in other forms yet. 8-tracks and cassettes have been out of the picture a long time though
CD's are our primary music medium, but we are moving to digital. Part of our tax retrun may net us some MP3 players. Already have a lot of music on the computer.

Arenas went nuts for that song at concerts too.
I'm with you on ballads. Got no use for them for the most part. I don't mind starting slow if you're going to pick up the pace, but if I want to hear something about love gone wrong I'm listening to the blues.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
I was always partial to "Children of the Damned" for pure glowering greatness.
I got thrown up on at an Iron Maiden concert in high school. Powerslave tour, IIRC.
