Favourite pop/rock tunes in KR
The 80's were a good time for pop, since the songs played then stick on for a long time. Knight Rider featured several good ones such as Maniac (White Line Warriors) and Rebel Yell (Dead of Knight), to name a few. What are your favourite pop/rock tunes in KR?

"Every Breath You Take" is a great one, as is "Rebel Yell," even though that was a cover.

"Land Down Under" definitely rocks! Anytime I watch The Topaz Connection I turn it up really loud. I've always liked that song.Phoenix915 wrote:I'm fond of two covers: The Eagles' 'Take It Easy' and Men at Work's 'Land Down Under'.

My favs:
"Take It Easy"
"Land Down Under"
"Self Control"
"I'm going to Carolina"
"Owner Of A Lonely Heart" (Can relate to the song. )
Theres a metal song thats played in the beginning of "VooDoo Knight" when Michael is driving in the night thinking about the jacket he saw. Damn, I forgot the name.

The Eagles of course! Have their CD right here... Pity KITT never played Hotel California.
I have to say the tune, I don't know who did it, that goes 'I got nothing to be ashamed of... Love's been a little bit hard on me...' is catchy. I keep catching myself singing it at inopportune moments just from hearing it on KR.

I dont know eighties songs and songs in KRider episodes very well but one artist i'm familiar with is Billy Idol. Rebell yell's a good song by him, i must agree. He is an eighties artist, isn't he?

Ever since I watched the episode 'Final Justice' on 'MST3K', that song always makes be think of this sketch, even when it popped up on 'KR'.TurbomanKnight wrote: "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" (Can relate to the song. )
I also liked the 'Rebel Yell' cover. Pretty cool.How does the "Owner of a lonely heart" compare to, say, the "Owner of a broken gas fireplace?" Or for that matter, to the "Owner of a perfectly functional cheese slicer?" As the "Owner of a lonely heart" how do I stack up against the "Owner of a pencil?" What about the "Owner of a parcel of land in Montana" versus the "Owner of a pie?"

It's called "It's just a shot away" by the Rolling Stones, yes that's one of my favorite ones too. It's from Goliath and Goliath ReturnsFuzzieDice wrote:Cruel Summer by Bananarama (I have their CD with that on it, in fact ) And that Rolling Stones tune that I keep forgetting the title of that sounds rather witchy.

Oh yes....totally forgot about "Owner of a lonely heart" by Yes. A few big hits such as "Careless Whispers" by George Michael and "Sweet Home in Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd (exact name?), but are there any obscure artists who have been catapulted to fame by KR? Russ Ballard's "Voices" came on Miami Vice and made him famous.
