"Classic" album appreciation thread - the '80s
pg1067:
For me, you opened with a dud.
I can remember finding Night Songs in a record store and thinking the band looked really dumb. At that point, I was reacting negatively to a lot of bands I liked turning toward a "glam" look, so this wasn't appealing to me at all. And then I heard the songs and didn't like Tom Kiefer's voice at all.
Cinderella got a LOT of airplay on KNAC in southern California, though, and Long Cold Winter hit big. I didn't like it any better, though, and looking at the track list, I can only recognize one song (Don't Know) by name. I'd swear I saw Cinderella as an opening band at some point, but I can't figure out for whom.

I never got the chance to see them live. I do have their DVD from Detroit on...I think it was the Heartbreak Station tour. On one hand, they put on a great show and had a lot of energy. On the other hand, a lot of what I consider their best sound needs a lot of layering and studio touch-up to sound right, so the live sound was seriously lacking. I dunno. If they got back together and toured now, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see them. But I kind of wish I would have had the chance back in the day.

I saw them in '86 opening for Bon Jovi, and in the summer of '91 opening for David Lee Roth.

I was not a big fan of the band, but I owned this CD and loved it.
