Listening to some GUARDIAN!

Dude... I loved these guys back when... but lost track...  Just recently I rediscoved them---LOVING "Kingdom of Rock" and "Mr. Do Wrong."  

I created a PB / Guardian playlist on Spotify--incase anyone want's to check it out---here's the link:

Ah, "Miracle Mile" brings back some great memories! I wore that cassette out (and eventually upgraded to CD). So many great tracks.

I just wish Guardian had been more consistent in their sound from album to album. Track them across 10 years and you get: "Fire and Love" to "Miracle Mile" to "Swing Swang Swung" to "Buzz" to "Bottle Rocket."

If it weren't for Rowe's distinct vocals, you'd think you were listening to five different bands! : )

Thanks for making/sharing your playlist!

Does anyone have the Gardian "Voyager & Fusion" compilation of demo material that was released several years back?  If so what do you think of it?

I used to but traded it away.  To be honest, I really didn't care about it.  Most of the songs were just earlier versions of tracks on their "First Watch" album.  It was cool to kind of see how the songs transitioned until they were recorded as we know them.  However, there wasn't enough new material to hold my attention.

Good to know.

They were very good onstage back before Jamie took over up front.  The space armor gimmick was pretty funky with their "put on the full armor of God" shtick.  I prefer "First Watch" but I guess my biggest issue with them afterwards is they allowed producers and label executives to dictate what they recorded.
