I say:
------
aerosmith (the only songs I really enjoyed were this and Sammy Davis')
sammy davis (I love the rat pack sound)
reba (she has such a pretty voice she makes even this generic song sound good)
fleetwood mac (no Stevie Nicks!?! bah...but the guitar was pretty good)
bryan adams (bland)
eagles (blander)
depeche mode (boring)
niki and the dove (blandest)

sammy davis
reba
aerosmith
fleetwood mac
bryan adams
eagles
depeche mode
niki and the dove

1) Aerosmith - the first five Aerosmith albums were the bomb. Everything else they've done since just sounds like commercial pap.

2) Fleetwood Mac - always liked Bob Welch era F.M. Always equated him with Gary Wright for some reason.

3. Eagles - I've got Jeff Bridges recent CD. He's got no reason to be trashing the Eagles.

4. Bryan Adams - Not something I'd listen to regularly but decent if it comes on the radio.

5. Sammy Davis - I prefer Dean Martin for my Rat Pack needs but this was okay.

6. Depeche Mode - not for me, sorry.

7. Nikki and the Dove

8. Reba McIntire - actually tried to find the original artist for this one but it wasn't on YT. Might have been better then this.

The Eagles' song is blocked here, is this a decent alternative:

?

Go for it!

Good ! So:

1. Fleetwood Mac
2. Aerosmith
3. The Eagles
4. Depeche Mode
5. Reba Mc Intire
6. Niki and the Doves
7. Bryan Adams
8. Sammy Davis Jr.

Thanks to the Captain for the reminder. I'll get to this today.

1) Sammy Davis Jr. - solid performance from Sammy. I love the backing band and the horn arrangements.
2) Aerosmith - Not bad, a fun guitar riff. Is that Stephen Tyler singing? He doesn't really sound like that anymore.
3) Reba - pretty decent song with a strong vocal.
4) Eagles - Definitely what I prefer to hear from the Eagles. The Dude abides? Probably not, but I thought it was alright.
5) Fleetwood Mac - Never was a FM fan, but I liked this one.
6) Bryan Adams - pretty forgetful. I don't even remember what it sounds like, but if it's Bryan Adams, then I have an idea.
7) Depeche Mode - Oh that hair and those teeth are just too much ! The song...not so much.
8) Niki and the Dove - Versus Florence and the Machine??? Just not up my alley at all.

When I surveyed the artists listed, I thought I would really enjoy this. Lots of names I recognized and mostly liked, but many of them seemed to be somewhat underwhelming offerings. Not terrible, but not great.

Reba McIntyre - I don't know a lot of Reba's work, but I tend to like the things I hear. This holds true to that.

Sammy Davis Jr. - Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm finding myself listening to "the Standards" more and more, and rock less and less. This one won't shoot to the top of my list, but certainly enjoyed it well enough.

Fleetwood Mac - Not likely to become one of my favorite FM songs, but a good listen nonetheless.

Aerosmith - Pretty good rocker.

Bryan Adams - A decent 80s anthem. Doesn't knock my socks off though.

Eagles - No problem listening to this, but I don't think I'd go searching it out.

Depeche Mode - A nice enough song, I guess, but very forgettable.

Niki and the Dove - Not particularly good pop. I don't mind a pop song if it's fun, but this was more on the annoying side.

DrFate98's speakers are down so here's a link to the next same name match while we wait for him to play catchup:

Thanks for your patience! I just finished the newest SNDS, and will do this one tomorrow!

Sorry I was so late due to equipment failure; never happened to me before....... Anyway, I enjoyed listening to these, and appreciate their being presented here!

1- Eagles- Like it quite a bit, driving, smooth, real. Washes the taste of garbage like "Hotel California" right out of your head.
2- Aerosmith- Kicking it, moves me to move and is just a lot of good fun. Enough complexity in the seemingly straight-forward driver to keep your interest throughout.
3- Reba McIntire- Sweet hopeful romance song. I can listen to it.
4- Fleetwood Mac- A bit funkier than expected, even for old Fleetwood Mac. Nice enough.
5- Bryan Adams- I like it fine. Better than average 80s(?) pop song.
6- Sammy Davis Jr.- Not a style of music that I've ever had an interest in hearing, but no doubt of the talent behind it. These songs always seemed dated to me, even when they first came out, but I still enjoy them occassionally.
7- Depeche Mode- OK.
8- Niki and the Dove- Nothing I really like here. Her voice is not very pleasant on this song.
