Lake-Key to the Rhyme

Lake is a German/American Group of the Seventies to the Eighties, Title: Key to the Rhyme. On inquire, I Load more Songs.

[@brunoespresso]

My very first concert, by a professional band.....In Villingen-Schwenningen "Messehalle B". My uncle had to drive us there. I won the ticket on the radio "SWF3"..... Wonderful memories!

[@MickAneworderfan]

Unfairly forgotten band, they were German but sounded like the very best American AOR bands. Great sense of melody, fantastic rhythm section and superb keyboard

[@lostinmusic5431]

One of my favourite albums in the 70´s. Saw them live 1976 in Ludwigshafen, Germany as opening act of Wishbone Ash. My first concert when I was 15 years old.

[@Ofelas1]

79 in Rheine, Westf.

[@chucksenseney501]

Phenomenal group..............love Lake and all their songs

[@DHudelson]

Still love this whole album - and this is one of the best on it.

[@edgoodson8206]

they do not make music like this anymore

[@valynnemcgarry1601]

Yes we Michigan girls do! They were awesome, but underrated in the States,sadly.

[@difreighterwatcher8603]

Love to all the Lakers❤

[@JamesDodge-rq7qh]

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only man in Michigan that Love's this awesome band

[@bradrainwater8056]

This is great music that I always seem to find again after I had forgotten.

[@codenamelibra]

I heard this song for the first time in the '76 to '77 time-frame. It was in the early fall. I was just starting high-school in Alabama. Yes, Boston / Kansas / Styx / Heart / LRB / Chicago were among the mainstays of that time, but this song floored me. 1/3 of a century later, and I still feel young when I hear it. Though "Key" did "place" on the charts, too bad it didn't take off. They certainly gave it a go. Glad to see that Lake still has their RIGHTEOUS following, here on KZbin.

[@jananney]

Great talent. Underappreciated.

[@popanz6796]

Super !! Einer der besten deutschen Bands !!

[@boulevardblueband]

This is a great band, including live. Lots of first rate songs. A handful, including this one, as good as I have ever heard.

[@Richard-g2k]

This song helped me get through my adolescence.

[@reheller]

The definite band from Germany. At the time they did their first 2 albums we were going crazy as it was 100% what we loved. Covering LAKE songs by the dozen :-) Even taking miserable live recordings from the radio. Ah, those times!

[@James-c5c1f]

Lake is my fav

[@fritzhansen763]

one of my favorit rock groups in the seventies

[@wheater59]

They played St. Louis in 1977 at the KSHE-95 10th Birthday Party. Lined up: Lake, Prism, and Robin Trower as headliner. I was there too!

[@HannaPieper]

Still one of my favourite bands!

[@jcopen]

Wow, great memories of this band from my discovery of them as a teen - solid, creative, polished...

[@olegasseholm3732]

They fell under my radar until I found one of those seventies records at a market, remember when you bought albums because the artwork somekindaways talked to you. Recently a friend of mine went into the virtual world and replaced all of his vinyls to me. And among 240 lp's there were 4 more Lake ones, 77 to 81. Killer sound and music although his records have to go to the bathroom.

[@OnzStorm]

This band was unbelievably good ... this song and time bomb. I love the vocals

[@jamesmonroe7903]

I’m a lifelong St.Louisan who remembers when this and Lake’s other tracks got played a lot on KSHE-95!👍

[@jamesmonroe7903]

Whoever gave me 👍-thanks! KSHE was the only STL station that played Lake songs & they really supported them! 1 of the best progrock bands!!!

[@kevinhanlon4512]

This is off of Lake's self titled debut album. You can get it at Barnes and Noble. It's available with their 3rd album, Paradise Island as a double CD.

[@robertmasi9955]

aka "Mad Dad" Commenting in the year 2022, As a DJ for many, many years, this band did not receive the recognition they deserved here in the U.S.

[@dlarovere]

I first heard these guys in my drummers garage after we got done rehearsing. Right away I knew I had a lot of practicing to do. Does anyone know which album this originally came off of? There were a ton of great tunes including "Time Bomb" on it and I cannot find it anywhere.

[@kevinlapham8180]

I found a cassette player in my attic, (I’m 13) end. It has a lake, cassette thingy, and it has this as the first song, but the saying, sounds distorted, how to fix.

Does anybody know what this song is about? Is it about death?
