Soundtrack HOF (imho) ...

Heavy Metal (1981)
-- Multiple Artists

The midnight movie classic. Check out the lineup of contributing artists for yourself - a real eye-opener. Two songs named Heavy Metal (Hagar and Felder). For you Steely Dan-heads out there, a really smooth Fagen song that you've quite possibly never heard. A couple of obscure Cheap Trick rockers. And the contributions from lesser known bands Riggs and Trust belong right there with the rest. As a child of the 80's, I can confirm that this 61+ minute soundtrack very rudely cuts off in the middle of Stevie Nicks' Blue Lamp at the end of a 60 minute cassette - every time I hear it I still expect it to happen.

Cannot recommend highly enough.

Cliff's Song of the Day

"Cry Tough" by Poison

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/cry-tough/1442860958?i=1442861321)

Today's song is a simple one and one without too much of a story behind it. Cry Tough by Poison is a song from their very first album, Look What The Cat Dragged In, that has stuck with me for years. Oddly, it wasn't until a few years after the albums release on August 2nd, 1986 that this song grabbed me. It's just one of those songs that it's all about the beat that I liked for the longest time, but then later in life it's about the lyrics as well.

Poison made a video for the song, but for a lot of years, it only aired on MTV one time and that was during a special edition of Headbanger's Ball. Eventually MTV started playing it more for whatever reason and that was when I really began to enjoy the song and relate to it. Today, it's a song I listen to quite often.

[Verse 1]
Remember the nights we sat
And talked about all our dreams
Well little did we know then
They were more distant than they seemed
But well, well I knew it
You knew it too
The things we'd go through
Well, we knew the things we had to do
To make it, baby

[Chorus]
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true
