Over the Top Not Just a Bad '80s Stallone Movie
Wednesday August 1, 2007
I can't believe a reference to an insipid little film about arm wrestling, of all things, has become the central headline hook for my latest blog, but there it is in black and white. In addition to that fine piece of cinema, the phrase "over the top" perhaps refers most accurately to many of the vocal styles on display during the '80s. In celebration of such shameless musical bombast, please accept my invitation to check out my list of the Top 5 Blustery Vocal Performances of the '80s. I challenge you to emerge from such an activity with anything but a smile (or disgusted grimace) on your face. At any rate, I doubt you'll be left with neutral feelings, and that's the way I like it, baby, I don't wanna live forever. How Lemmy got involved in this, I cannot say.
