Billy Squier

Billy Squier truly epitomized the style of 80's hard rock.

"Don't Say No"

  1. "In the Dark" (4:09)
  2. "The Stroke" (3:38)
  3. "My Kinda Lover" (3:32)
  4. "You Know What I Like" (2:56)
  5. "Too Daze Gone" (4:05)
  6. "Lonely is the Night" (4:40)
  7. "Whadda You Want from Me" (3:43)
  8. "Nobody Knows" (4:17)
  9. "I Need You" (3:52)
  10. "Don't Say No" (3:20)

I remember seeing this horrible Adam Sandler movie where Adam had to go back to high school, and he drove up to the school wearing an REO Speedwagon T-shirt and blasting "The Stroke" out of his car speakers, while all the Tiffany-blonde girls and baggy-pants boys looked on in bemused curiosity...haha, that could have been ME back in high school!

"Emotions in Motion"

  1. "Everybody Wants You" (3:45)
  2. "Emotions in Motion" (4:58)
  3. "Learn How to Live" (4:03)
  4. "In Your Eyes" (3:46)
  5. "Keep Me Satisfied" (3:40)
  6. "It Keeps You Rockin'" (4:06)
  7. "One Good Woman" (3:41)
  8. "She's a Runner" (4:03)
  9. "Catch 22" (5:03)
  10. "Listen to the Heartbeat" (4:25)

"Emotions in Motion" and "She's a Runner" are a bit slow, but the rest rocks terrifically. "Everybody Wants You" is one of my all-time faves.

"Signs of Life"

  1. "All Night Long" (4:47)
  2. "Rock Me Tonite" (4:56)
  3. "Eye on You" (4:40)
  4. "Take a Look Behind Ya" (5:03)
  5. "Reach for the Sky" (5:31)
  6. "(Another) 1984" (4:54)
  7. "Fall for Love" (4:49)
  8. "Can't Get Next to You" (4:33)
  9. "Hand Me Down" (4:20)
  10. "Sweet Release" (6:14)

Wouldn't you know it...just two days after putting up my CDR copy on this page, I run across a REAL copy in the used bins, for a mere $5.99! Which was exactly the price I said I would pay, as opposed to the $50-60 this sucker normally auctions for on ebay! Well, nobody can fault me for not being a man of my word, coz here it is. :) I am getting suspicious, however, that somebody is tracking my CD activity and keeps placing these discs I want in secret hiding places for me to seek out...and if that person is reading this, hey, how about getting me a copy of The Pathological Sampler for me, okay? Don't let me down...

Anyhoo, this is far from Billy's best album. "All Night Long" and "Another 1984" are essential, and "Can't Get Next to You" is kinda fun; but "Rock Me Tonite" is soooo cheesy, "Take a Look Behind Ya" is annoying, and the rest do nothing for me at all.
