Was Loverboy new wave with an edge???

New Wave/Punk music, culture, genres, memories. '80s revivalism and other relevant topics.

Never heard of them, I'll have to look them up.

On the subject of Canadian Pop/Rock with synths, I say "Saga". I use to crank the radio everytime "Wind Him Up" played. Now that's some good new wave with an edge.[:)]

No, I don't think that Loverboy was new wave with an edge...

I thought that they were more like 'crap with headbands'.

Armageddon by Prism. Good Canadian AOR with synths. [:)]

Loverboy, IMO, were simply a very good Rock/AOR band using synths effectively in their songs. Another Canadian band that effectively used them was Saga, but I always thought of Saga as a more progressive sounding rock band.

Speaking of Canadian bands,

Loverboy was about as new wave as Scandal. Take that for what it's worth.

Cheetos,
thanks...I now know that it was Saga that did "Tonight We're on the Loose". (right ? ) Hey, maybe I'll go listen to it...it wasn't too bad of a song.

NOT New Wave, tho.

Yes, not to be confused with "Turn me loose".[:)] One of the very few Loverboy songs I like. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan.

"Working for the weekend". What's worst than a dumbass rock song, one that's an anthem.[xx(]

Grunch is there anything you

Loverboy had some good tunes, but imagine being in a club in the 80'2 and saying" damn! I wish they would play loverboy!" I would expect my freinds to give me a good stomping.
