I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.
80's Rock
-
After all the Rick Roll activity in the past couple of weeks, I figured it was time to post a real 1980’s Rock musician…
Gotta love that mid-song riff…
-
One of the best…

Heres some real rock for ya. I challenge anybody to find a more powerful love song than this.
-
this is about 80’s music. or better yet, 80’s rock.
I’ll counter with none other than The Cure. The Cure does love songs.
does The Cure count as 80’s rock? or is rock only hairbands and such as punk etc.

-
I haven’t seen Dirty Work in forever.

LOL, there’s a plumbing company in town that managed to get that number in Phoenix 602-867-5309 and they use it in their comercials on the radio.
-
By they way you guys aparently lived a diferent part of the 80s than me.
Van Halen, Def Leppard, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Rush, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd and of Course Metalica. I still have all of these bands on my Ipod.
You won’t find any gay crap like wham or bon jovi…

80’s music was good.
Nice list dezrtfish

you forgot Blue oyster cult, and Emerson, Lake, and palmer
-
Night Ranger is missing too (and I am NOT talking about Sister Christian).
Charlie Sexton rocked… some awesome guitar riffs.
And sorry, but you left AC/DC off your list…
and Quiet Riot… -
You also forgot Styx, REO Speedwagon, Guns N’ Roses, Don Henley, John Fogerty, Genesis, and it’s offshoots Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel (arguably the most talented singer/songwriter in the 80’s).
I agree with your list with a few notable exceptions, fish.
AC/DC, Floyd, and Rush did their best work in the 70’s, by far.
And Ozzy sucked after he left Sabbath. It irritates me to no end that such a genius could so completely roll over and pump out cookie cutter garbage after being in one of the most defining rock bands of all time. The drug binges definitely took their toll.
Here’s a love song for you. Ties in with another thread currently being discussed. UP THE IRONS!
-
Pink Floyd may have done their best work in the 70’s, but Roger Waters Radio KAOS was an excellent album (especially when stoned and listening to it on CD on repeat… the Morse code at the beginning and the end just wraps around and you start all over…
And you can’t mention the 80’s and leave off Billy Idol…
-
Nice List DF,
I’ll add a few more nice list.Here’s a few more: Slayer, Guns n roses, The Smiths, The Pixies, The Clash, Kiss, Dead kennedy’s, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili’s…
-
Kommander, if you add Black Flag to your list, I would have to list you more as a Punk fan… :wink:
