DLC Discussion Thread Week of 10/9: Singles from Billy Squier & A Flock of Seagulls!

[Magnet]

Hey gang,

In 1982, English New Wave band A Flock of Seagulls found worldwide success with their self-titled debut record. “I Ran (So Far Away),” a single from that album, became one of the band’s biggest hits, making its way to the Billboard Hot 100 and charts around the globe!

Rocker Billy Squier had a string of hits during the 80s, as well, two of which will make their way to the Rock Band Music Store next week: “The Stroke,” the debut single from 1981’s Don’t Say No and the opening track from 1982’s Emotions in Motion, “Everybody Wants You,” which held on to the top spot of Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock tracks for six weeks straight!

All three tracks will be available as singles on the Rock Band Music Store; a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass Upgrade will be available for “The Stroke.”

Tuesday can't come quick enough.

My money. Take it, Harmonix.

[cwilbur]

Will buy all. Will be awaiting Tuesday like a kid waiting for Xmas for Billy Squier – “Everybody Wants You”

I remember a carnival coming to town when I was a teenager with some mini-roller-coaster kind of ride that blasted that song continuously. Rode it again and again.

Classic rock. Taking old farts back to their childhoods since... well, a long damn time.
