Understood.👍 I hadn't noticed the Quint reference. Famous Brody quote, indeed.

Coincidentally enough, I've rooted for the Buffalo Sabres since I was a child (my dad occasionally received NHL swag, including a child-size Sabres jacket). Team is finally having a good season!

Why "nope"?😄A smile reference is a smile reference.

First time I saw the movie was on CBC French tv. I was five or six years old. Too scared to even take baths for awhile after, let alone go swimming.

Day 8: Spoons🍁: "Nova Heart" (1982)

Thank you!🙂👍

⚾Yep. You wouldn't normally expect to find them in that format.

My second video strike this week. Thanks for providing an alternate link. Wish there was a way to know before linking.

Thanks, Johnny! 🙂👍

Me, too. They were the last band I collected heavily in cd format. I got into them around mid 00s. Introduced via MLB 2K6 video game on XBox.😄 Menu music.

Huge. I always listen to old AT40 countdowns on weekend radio. Cross was no stranger to the charts.

Great pick, Johnny! Like you say, it's a textbook example. Bonus that it's also a fab song. 🎸🎶

Nice pick! Classic 80s goodness. Cross delivers the delicate vocals.🙂

Day 7: Like many Enya songs, the keyboards don't always function like a lead instrument. They're atmospheric, calm, & create the space the song lives in.

Until posting, I'd forgotten this song appeared in a LOTR film.

2009 standalone version:

"The Boys in the Bright Sports Car" plays multiple times a week on my morning radio.🙂 I almost chose it for today's post. These two songs, along with "Santa Maria", "We're Here for a Good Time...", & "Janine" are must-have songs for me.

Thanks, Johnny! 🙂🎸🎹🎶

😄👍

I got back into them over the last several years. Local radio has a handful of their songs in regular rotation. It got me revisiting their music, which I hadn't heard since childhood, via my older brother's albums.

😊

Distant second! 😄

My friends & I listened to this song & album so much in our teens. Massive then and still a radio staple today. Anthemic choice, Johnny! 🙂👍

Day 7: Song with a clear chord change between verse & chorus

I realized yesterday that apart from profiling Trooper in an ArtistFave15 last year, I never post any of their songs. Rectifying. Their compilations are well worth sampling.

Fantastic album! Among my all-time favorites. Only one or two songs on the album I'm indifferent to. The rest are🔥

Thanks! I'm a big fan of this album, too.

Thanks, Johnny!🙂
