the 80s had so much diversity. New Wave, Punk, Disco, Heavy Metal, Ska, Hair Metal, Rockabilly, etc. it was like all eras of pop music all blended together in one decade.

[@markleon7127]

Another classic really enjoying this 80s pop/soft rock vibe you guys have been on.

@savetheoligarchs the Smiths were great...but the 80s mostly sucked. And i graduated highschool in 89 so I know. What was great about the 80s. Madonna? Electro-pop? Hair metal? There was def SOME good music(janes addiction etc), but by in large not a good decade..

[@captrik17]

Excellent Canadian content, Triumph and Loverboy 👍👍

[@williamh4172]

Triumph never gets enough love. I saw them in '81. One of the best live performances I've seen. Unbelievable talent in that band. Every bit as good as Rush who I saw twice back then.

[@b-bertstm1135]

Streetheart, another great Canadian band from the 80's

[@calder1963]

I saw Loverboy in concert at the San Francisco Cow Palace in 1981. They were the warm up group for Journey. That was an awesome show. Listening to Journey singing City by the Bay was a treat on a par with Springsteen singing Jersey Girl at a concert in NJ.

[@joekuul8769]

That's pretty funny. I just posted how my 1982 high school yearbook had those two acts as the biggest of the year (and I was in NorCal, too boot, lol).

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

So glad you guys finally are reacting to Loverboy, they have a whole greatest hit album.

[@playbassken]

RIP Scott Smith, bassist for Loverboy who you hear laying down that killer groove on that Spector bass. Not to mention that incredible voice of Mike Reno. Loverboy ruled the airwaves in the 80's and were absolutely off the chain live! Thanks for giving this one a listen and there's a lot more from them you need to check out.

[@mikeziegler7008]

Watching Brad and Lex reminds me of my wife and I when we were first going out. We'd be on the dance floor and she'd be bopping around and I'd be kinda standing there, nodding my head... just happy to be with her.

80’s musical energy was so fun! I felt the 90’s had a lot of talent but the sound was full of depression in a lot of it. Pearl Jam didn’t add much to a party. 😎

[@blgeiger71]

I agree for the most part with the only exception according to my personal experience partying with friends to Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others were the absolute BEST when tripping on LSD!!!

[@norwegianblue2017]

Felt the same way. There was all this angst and negativity in music, yet people were generally doing pretty well in the 90s. Bands like Everclear were so whiny I just wanted to turn it off. 80s music made you want to TURN IT UP!

I used to be a road manager for country/rock band and we did a festival show with this band. It was called the Redwood Run in northern California. Sponsored by Easy Rider magazine made for a wild scene. Anyhow, Mike Reno had his own personal massage therapist on the road with him.

[@kathyjones3940]

I've known Mike Reno since late 1979 early 1980s... super nice guy, as well as the rest of them.... knew Scott Smith( bassist) such a sweet guy... Scott died November 30, 2000 in San Francisco Bay... he fell overboard near the Golden Gate Bridge off of his boat by a huge wave, his remains have never been found... R.I.P. Scott ...and Matt Frenette(drummer) better tho.... seen Loverboy last time at the Wisconsin Valley Fair in 2017, lost count how many times I've seen them. They used to play alot of local pubs in Burnaby, Vancouver, etc in Canada in early 80s.... still see the guys now and again!

[@rachaddle6581]

One of the best tunes to cruise in your car to. Used to work for GM (General Motors)..A car factory and majority of us had our boom boxes & radios tuned in to rock radio stations. These tunes kept us movin!!

[@joelex7966]

If you have ever been in a relationship where you just weren't feeling it but the partner wanted commitment then this song really hits home

[@PaintedCavern]

Loverboy was my first concert ever in 1982 Bozeman Montana. I was 18 and it was incredible. The Kid is Hot Tonight is one favorite. Still love the New Wave music to this day. Used to roller skate to them a lot! Lol. ❤❤❤

[@Deborahtunes]

I bought this on a 45 single in 1980. I might still have it. "Turn Me Loose" was their first hit single, (at least in the US, not sure about Canada where they are from). Loverboy will be touring with Styx and REO Speedwagon this year...

[@lantzkeefer6]

Working for the weekend is another good one, but this one is still my favorite.

I spent a summer selling and installing cassette car stereos. If you were selling speakers to a guy you played Van Halen. If you were selling speakers to a woman you played this tune.

Vancouver has been such an under-rated power house of rock of various genres: Loverboy, Skinny Puppy, Bryan Adams, Payolas, 54-40, Chilliwack, ... Then there's all the amazing albums recorded there and pivotal concerts held there. Metallica, Bon Jovi, ... David Bowie started his Thin White Duke tour there.

I hope you will listen to some more of "Loverboy"

I'll never forget going to see Loverboy open for Kansas I believe in '79..My first big rock concert!!! Kansas was over the top great/Hometown band!!

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Formed in Toronto. Moved to Vancouver. Lead singer Mike Reno is from Metro Vancouver. Managed by Bruce Allen, who manages BTO and Prism. In the late 1970s, Bryan Adams got Bruce Allen to manage him. In 1983, Bryan Adams wrote Jump with Jim Vallance, MR, PD and drummer Matt Frennette. Written by Mike Reno and Paul Dean. Produced by Dean and the late Bruce Fairbairn. Engineered by Bob Rock. Peak Loverboy! 1980. They still perform today. Same lineup but Ken Spinnaeve is on bass guitar. Scott Smith was lost at sea in San Francisco Bay. 😢 KS played in a band with Paul Dean in the early 1970s. That band broke up. KS joined Red Rider, where the lead singer was Tom Cochrane. Suggested video 📹 Loverboy performs Working for the Weekend. RIP Bruce Fairbairn and Scott Smith. 🇨🇦

[@melaniejordan1199]

Hey, guys. Just my $.02. Everybody does their channel their own way but I would really recommend watching the official video (or a live performance as a backup) with the lyrics in front of you. That way, you get the whole experience. I am all about the lyrics too, but to me, it adds so much more to watch a band play and see what they look like/what they wear. But again, that's just my opinion. Keep on keepin' on. Loverboy was the sh*t back in the early 80's. I highly recommend: Take Me To The Top Lucky Ones Lovin' Every Minute of It P.S. I can't believe no one reacted to his "pack my bags and FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY". That note was sick! Peace. Love you both!
