Touch Too Much

Alright! New semester, so I'm going to start it off right, with some current, alternating or direct. This is very fitting, as the lead guitarist, Angus Young, always dressed as a schoolboy for live performances. Touch Too Much is one of my favorite songs by AC/DC, filled with the classic lyrical work of Bon Scott and the stunning rhythm and lead guitar styling of Malcom and Angus Young, respectively. It was released on their sixth album, Highway to Hell, in 1979, and was the last album that Bon Scott helped create. Bon Scott passed away the following year, while the band was working on their next album, which was  known as Back in Black. When researching this song, I noticed that many of the single's artwork was reversed, which showed the guitarists and bassist as playing left-handed, go ahead, look it up, it may get a chuckle out of you. Anyways, I would describe this song as both jagged and fluid, you can hear the classic AC/DC rough sound, but it also has the velvety-soft feel to the bass and rhythm guitar that is wondrously appealing. Now the lyrical work on this song is something, this song is filthy, and I love it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I.

Lovin', Touchin' Squeezin'

Alright! Today's a Journey day. Lovin', Touchin' Squeezin' was released on Evolution, Journey's fifth studio album, in April of 1979. Evolution was Journey's first hit album, selling over three million copies in the US. This is bluesy song, with just absolutely fantastic vocal work by Steve Perry, and a great mounting crescendo  of sound and instruments coming together. The entire song is bluesy, starting with a straight drum beat, playful piano work, and an even bass. In my opinion, the subject of the song is laid straight out for you in the lyrics, it's about a couple in which the man is cheating on the woman, and the vocalist has feelings for the woman, and doesn't want her to get hurt, but that's just my opinion. I hope you enjoyed, it's a lovely song.

Head Games

I have a lot of respect for Foreigner, they might not have been one of the best bands out there, but being a vocalist, I bow down Lou Gramm's incredible vocal style and voice. Head Games was released on Foreigner's third studio album, which is under the same name. Head games was released on, believe it or not, September 11, 1979, which I find to be slightly interesting, if anything. This song features Foreigner's classic soft rock style, and a great bass intro if I do say so. This song is about a girl, no surprise, and how she plays head games(real surprise). Clearly it is upsetting the songwriter, and he just wants to know how she feels, and they keep fighting and staying up late talking about their situation. Granted this is not the best Foreigner song, but I chose to do it because of the interesting feel it has to it, and how it effects my mood.
