It’s hard to find a bad Billy Squire song. Such an under appreciated artist!

[@laurakali6522]

That one video did him in.

[@TheMike_I]

@@laurakali6522 hey Laura which video?

[@kenklein4783]

@@laurakali6522 Yeah but it was still a good song ;)

[@laurakali6522]

@@TheMike_I Rock Me Tonight. The one where he’s rolling around the bed and ripping his shirt. It may just have been timing as right around that time, he was a headliner on tour with Def Leppard as support. Soon after Def Leppard were headlining and Billy was basically done. Critics panned that video. It didn’t bother me but there is some agreement it did not help his career.

[@laurakali6522]

@@kenklein4783 yep, the video didn’t bother me but critics really panned it.

[@RichardOlsonar15]

🤣 OMG! THIS TOOK ME BACK!!! It was 1981...I was a Junior in High School. I owned a 1969 Ford Fairlane 500.. I had an in dash Cassette player... Pioneer Super Tuner... I would be driving to school at 7:40 am, THIS SONG blaring as loud as I could crank it! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm 58 years old and still trying to come to grips with my adult kids calling this "Oldies."

[@djm4457]

Thing about this banger is that it sounds like they recorded it in Billy Squire's garage...very basic, very raw. No tech, no autotune. Just pure raw talent.

[@Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

Legend for sure.

[@CorePathway]

Heavy drums, Led Zeppelin-esque

[@mikecaetano]

Billy Squier was popular back when I was in ninth grade. "Lonely Is The Night" is quite Led Zeppelinesque, ain't it? Lonely, lonely, lonely, time! "The Stroke" was his big hit back in 1981. "In the Dark", is another big song from that album that holds up well all these years later.

[@rsw1227]

"Whadda You Want From Me?" to me was definitely felt like a nod to Zeppelin too. Peace!

[@SGtem]

Yep “Nobody’s Fault but Mine” meets “Ramble on”

[@alanmike6883]

Yes Iove in the dark. It's a awesome song. Like nobody knows too

[@chrisa4695]

My senior year in high school.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

The first time I heard this on the radio, I thought it might be from Robert Plant's new solo album. I was pretty stoked. Later on, when Plant's album did come out, I was kinda bummed that it didn't rock as hard as this...Heh...

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, his "My Kinda Lover", "Everybody Wants You" and "The Stroke" are next for you!! A bonafide rocker, these are all bangers!!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yesss!!!!

[@goldiekildea2924]

You guys gotta listen to his song "My kind of lover" and "In the dark" Billy Squire came out in the early 1980's When I first heard his songs on the radio I ran to the store and bought his first album- The Tale of the Tape! Yes "vinyl" and it was played on a turn table not what we use today and we came a long way since then!

[@GodWeenSatan]

Vinyl is back though because the sound is superior

[@dannycasson1551]

Billy Squire rocks. He’s got a great repertoire of songs… “The Stroke,” “My Kinda Lover,” “Everybody Wants You,” “Emotions In Motion”… many more.

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

This whole album is killer.

[@nonayobizes4173]

Big time

[@deborahcornell171]

This & 2 others by Billy, "Everybody Wants You" & "The Stroke", are the only songs I play air drum to. And I'm a Zep fanatic who adores Bonham. But I reserve my air drums for the above songs. Not in front of anyone though.👀 Check out those songs. Pure, irresistible, real Rock. 💙☮💙

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Whoaaaaa u mean to tell me u don’t air drum to “In the air tonight” by Phil Collins?!!!! I thought that was mandatory 😉

[@deborahcornell171]

[@joshmalcom89]

The hunt, billy squire , strike(of italy) , The Angels.,and the mighty saxon! The drummers in these groups!! Soo underrated!!! Such underated bands

[@madmex2k]

Billy Squier had some really great songs. I got to see the band in concert back in the 80s. SO, I really liked "The Big Beat", "The Stroke", "Don't Say You Love Me", "Everybody wants you", "In the Dark", "Rock Me Tonight", "My Linda Lover", and "Emotions in Motion". Not many ballads in his song music, mostly all rockers I think. A few of his songs start with the drums, or a big guitar hook, he was really good with that. He also did a collab with Freddie Mercury from Queen called "Love is the Hero". It is notably different style than most of Billy Squier songs, so I am sure it was influenced by Freddie Mercury. I am sure I left something out, but I really like Billy Squier. He is a great Guitar player and has a really great Rock voice.

[@thorfinsky1427]

"Nobody knows" was kind of balladesque.

[@Reclining_Spuds]

"In Your Eyes" "I Need You" Seek and you shall find.......

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@Reclining_Spuds dont let me go is not only his best ballad but one of his best songs period

[@AsiaandBJ]

So good!

[@davidbordonaro1631]

You guys have no idea just how big he was around the early 80s . so glad people won't let his music fade away

[@vernhoke7730]

Finally someone reacting to Billy. I've seen him twice, in '81 as a headliner & '82 opening for Queen. He's got a few great tunes to check out. Everybody Wants You, In the Dark, My Kinda Lover, She's a Runner, the Stroke are some to start with.

[@yelnek4548]

Say him back in '81 leading off for Pat Benatar

[@jalkabre5904]

Billy was my jam back in the 80's. Many great songs..."In the Dark", "The Stroke", "My Kinda Lover", "Emotions in Motion" and a bunch more.

[@micheleberara2842]

I remember the first time I heard Billy Squire. He was singing "Stroke " I was about 19, I'm 55 now. I'm a huge fan of Billy Squire. I just love him and his music 🎶 I don't think that he got the recognition that he most definitely deserved!!!! Lonely is the Night is absolutely 💯 amazing!!!

[@indierockyhockey]

Squier 💚💚💚

[@LOKISlog7]

His entire debut album is a banger. it's so sad that one bad video, Rock Me Tonight which was seen as gay by the detractors, ruined his career. In The Dark, The Stroke, and I Need You are must listen to

[@indierockyhockey]

If that came out now, no big. Kills me to this day. It's a great song

[@Faltor895]

Those songs weren't on his debut.

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Wow - I saw Billy Squire and Def Leppard in concert, decades ago and yes, I still have the t-shirt! ;-)

[@Whateva67]

But does it still fit?😎

[@TheAquaponic1]

Billy Squier is the reason I became a musician. He was my first guitar hero. Imagine 12 year old me and this was the new shit. Going to the arcade and hustling older kids playing pool. I would put every one of his tunes on the Jukebox...actual Vinyl Jukebox. Couldn't help but feel like a badass. lol Yeah you can't loose on the earliest stuff. Good stuff you two.

I met him at a McDonald's across the street from the arena that he was opening for foreigner that night. A down to earth guy. The concert was awesome.

[@thatdamelana]

More Billy Squier, please. The Big Beat was one the most used samples in early Hip-Hop and the break beat in that song was a go-to for break dancers. The Stroke is a great song, react to the video. You can't miss with Billy Squier, he owned the 80s. He's still a favorite, love him. Rock on!

[@NoahFroio]

Another one of the most underrated, actual, rock icons of his day, every dude wanted to be him and every dude wanted him to stay 800 miles away from their girlfriend, LOL. Check out Emotions in Motion, it is EPIC!

[@bapc3billneeley]

I love it when you guys get completely into a song that seems like an oldie to me! 😊

[@shapeach]

You take his voice and rhythm of the song and you got pure 🔥!! He was like the sex bomb of the 80's MY KIND OF LOVER IS ONE OF HIS BEST.!! His MOST POPULAR WAS "THE STROKE" the beat was so hot, no one listened to the lyrics and what he was. Really singing about .I mean you start off with "Stroke me stroke me " where does your mind go? But the song is about stroking the Ego, of the most powerful, when you need their support or VOTE!! The political game and how it's played .... Thank you for playing his music. Love y'all so much!💖♥️

[@tammydean3003]

You need to watch a video of him, he's full of energy. Never a bad song from Billy. ❤

They could just rename this album from "Don't Say No' to "Billy Squier's Greatest Hits." It would still be appropriate. One of my go-to albums to just put on and let it take me away. Try "Whadda' You Want From Me" next. Banger. Anything from this album will do. Thanks for this. Loved it! Peace

Listen to "The Stroke" by Billy. It's suggestive but a cool song. We jammed to it in 1982 while cruising on Friday and Saturday nights on Cooper Street in Arlington Texas. Everybody from every high school in Arlington did it.
