heard that... I mean, the first great number of times I'd turn to a different channel (have XM, good stuff)... but one day when I was... well, in a 'kinder' state of mind, I caught some of the words to it and I kinda dig it now, too...

what do most denver fans like?

i like 80s hardcore punk like conflict, black flag, discharge, blitz, crucifix, etc...

also, old school metal like old school metallica (master, justice, kill em all, ride) and old school iron maiden (powerslave, # of the beast, piece of mind, women n uniform, edward) etc...

Yep, look for these songs:

Stockholm Syndrome
Showbiz
Newborn
Space Dementia
Citizen Erased
Butterflies & Hurricanes

Or just buy one of their albums (although they're imports in the US)...
Those songs I've mentioned are all gems.

new rock band that seems to take a lot of cues from early 80's pop-rock new wave. Gary Neuman, The Cars, The Knack. Even the production values are retro. But the ironic lyrics and guitars sounds are all kind of post punk (R.E.M., The Replacements, Husker Du). Basically a modern version of a rock meets alternative pop band.

Actually, country has come a long way in terms of production, and lyrical content. It is still way too earnest for my tastes usually, but at least it isn't so hokey anymore. A lot of it sounds like late 70's/early 80's pop rock with steel and slide guitars. I hear lots of the Eagles, Poco, America, James Taylor, along with some Bruce Springsteen, Journey. Then they just throw some country influences into that. Its better than that tinny sounding tear in my beer stuff. in my opinion.


I have also done sports talk, Classic Rock, new rock, and news talk.

I hear ya, just can't help but tell that joke whenever I can... I'm a student of music (once seriously), and what you say is true... all forms have evolved, some into lesser entities... country has the small distinction of being able to move on without completely losing it's roots... it is, tho, a 'meatmarket' in the sense that just about anyone who can carry a tune with some conviction can get notice in the C&W world alot faster than just about anything else... R&B/Rap is really close in that matter, but it seems that it's usually $$$ or fame that pre-exists before you get into the 'herd' that gets heard in that genre.... when you say new rock, just what would you put in there?... or 'who' might be easier... I'll look for the above tunes and give 'em a listen as well, thanx... *rubs hands together*... gonna start talkin' tuneage... ...
