He's more then multi talented. Music industry needs to right a wrong they've committed. Get it right. Billy Squier has more then earned the rock -n-roll hall of fame

    Forgotten great guitarist. Forgotten great singer. Forgotten great performer. I saw him live in 1983 at the Long Beach Arena, CA and that was still one of the single greatest performances I’ve ever been to. And I’ve seen hundreds. Just a perfect night of songs, presence and musicianship ever. Why has he been forgotten? Just a master of the stage.

      The previous album "Tale of the tape" has at least one song that sounds like Led Zeppelin.
      I cannot remember the name but I did buy the album because that song got airplay as a single.
      Another band that had a Zeppelin like some a few years later was Zebra with Who's Behind the Door.
      (I did not buy their album).

    Mr. Squire. Take your top 10 biggest hits.. listen to them and write 10 more hits in that same style, sound n feel... PLEASE.. a lot of musicians say I dont want to write the same stuff over n over.. well us fans want that, that style n sound got you where u r today. Besides you'd make a killing again n us real fans would b pleased once again, its a win win. We get what we loved about yr music n u'd get paid again. Or if nothing else, do it for us, the ones that actually buy the music n pay to see u live, n do it for the love of MUSIC! Thanks.

    When I was a teen back in the 80's I had a Craig stereo and a equalizer ( I don't remember the name) hooked up to 2, 200 watt Jenson speakers. This radio back then had tape deck. I would blast the song everytime I heard it. I had a '77 Olds Cutlass. I wanna go back to the 80's where life was easier, you busted your ass at work to make a car payment, car insurance and still had to go out on friday and saturday nights. I wish I could go back. I wouldn't change anything if I did.
