  1. Michael McDonald has to be one of the nicest & most humble people I've ever seen interviewed.

  2. Sunglasses at Night and West End Girls are a couple big ones as well.

  3. Yes, I said the same thing. I think that Styx intro should actually be top 5.

  5. "Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul. I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music. The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit" - Bach

  6. I always described the background orchestra as a floating in the clouds feeling! Would be a blast to see Rick interview David or Roger!

  12. Brandy was the first song I heard playing when I walked into my first strip club as an 18yr old kid!

  13. Seems like the music industry would realize how important tape was and bring it back, there's enough room for both tape and digital to exist.

  14. Imagine that Sid never asked him to sit in with the band or that David said no.

  15. Should be a documentary!

  17. Midnight Special was a great TV show, if I remember right it came on 1 day a week right? I remember watching Roy Orbison on that show.

  18. I don't think the younger generation understands just how different things were pre internet and pre computer in your pocket! You appreciated everything so much more and you put more thought into everything!

  19. "Oh Sherrie" and "Boys of Summer" could technically be on this list lol.

  22.  @emilymann1175  that's hilarious! "Well cinnamon gu-um" knowing how I made ya feel and "cinnamon gu-um"! I actually wrote back and forth with Steve Perry in his youtube comment section one time, he seems like a super cool guy. I commented on how he made my late teens and 20s great with his singing and he thanked me.

  31. I like that Mr Cross gave Rick and the rest of us the scoop of the accidental/ex brother-n-law induced grammy award winning strings intro!

  32. The Eric Clapton guitar story was great!

  33. Hey Rick, what about a video on Cake, "The Distance"? Ive just never heard you mention them and was wondering what you thought?
    1
  34. Great video, here's a few of my choices, "Sunglasses at Night" "Let's Go All the Way" "Died In Your Arms" Now ya gotta do the same thing for the 90s, my vote Possum Kingdom by Toadies. I know they had a few other popular songs but man, that was a great tune.
    1
  35. Yeah, as soon as I saw Brandy it took me back to my first ever trip to a strip club lol and beautiful brunette dancing!

  36. Seems like they are unable to create anything original. It all sounds like a copy of a copy of a good 80s pop song.

  37. They've became the barrier!

  38. Learn to Swim!

  39. Was Spirit in the Sky in the 70s? I know it was technically released in 69 i think but it got big in the 70s?

  40. Idk what the record companies were talking about "stealing songs" when people were doing the play/record/pause thing with their cassette players to take songs right off the radio.

  41. "Oh momma Im in fear for my life from the long arm of the law"

  45. Whoever got into Noel's head should be led out to the back pasture and disposed of.

  46. Creativity in today's music is almost nonexistent.

  52. Funny when Taylor Swift was ruling the airwaves the Tool released their latest album and dethroned her and her cult followers were literally flipping out online.

  53. Journey was nearly the perfect rock band, they were literally the soundtrack of my youth.

  54. No originality anymore.

  58. These AI artists do not owe anyone anything, if they can create a successful "voice" it's their creation.

  59. This app is a great idea, it gets rid of any points of contention that could split up a band and im not even a musician. I can see the major labels fighting the app because they do not want to give up the black box settlements.

  60. Sex and Candy Marcy Playground?

  61. Imagine telling 27yr old Rick that one day in the future, 60yr old Rick would be interviewing Sting and Michael McDonald!

  62. Never understood why artists would block their art from being shown to new audiences.

  63. I like hearing more about your past and also about the people you've produced. Do you think any of your older songs could be redone by someone else? I mean do you have A song that sticks out that you personally thought should have gotten more attention?
    1
  64. Im a big documentary guy but even I catch myself scrolling thru funny animal shorts while all zombie eyed! Growing up in the 80s and 90s gave us a little more perspective, we know that going outside to do things is freeing.

  65. Research research research

  66. "Digital Dust" would be a great name for an album or song or both.

  67. Why in the world would they leave that "whisper" song off the record? Are they planning on coming back to it or what?
    1
  68. Rick, you should do a list of the top 10 or 20 players not on the list, throw in some edits of what they influenced.

  69. Happy belated birthday Steve!

  74.  @Hubris2  you're crazy, google 80s one hit wonders and you'll see that it's you who is wrong! As i said, Canadian radio doesn't count.

  75.  @warrenstrachan9765  dude, British radio and American radio are two different things.

  76.  @srj34  its crazy, people cannot understand that different countries listen and like different music, i said "Sunglasses at Night" and a few Canadians want to kill me now. However if you search 80s 1 hit wonders, sure enough "sunglasses at night" is there.
