    Well, I debated between this one and another.

    This one might be tough. I know the cover is pretty un-distinctive. I was going to take a better picture of my own copy, but it's still shrink-wrapped and would have taken some effort to photograph. Here's a couple of built-in hints: This band is an '80's band, but their membership had ties to several '70's rockers. And, I think this may have been the last vinyl LP I purchased new, when record stores were still record stores.

    Night Rangers, Man in Motion.

    Just post the album cover first, and make us bark like dogs for clues.;)

    Keyboard player Alan "Fitz" Fitzgerald was one of the early members. His priors were with Montrose and Sammy Hagar. I remember them opening for ZZ Top once.

    Yeah, that must have been easier than I thought. :D "Fitz" was gone before this album came out, I think. The hints didn't exactly give it away though. I'm figuring you have to be something of a Night Ranger fan to know that one, as it wasn't a big-selling album.

    They were actually named the Rangers at first, but another band had the name so they added 'Night.'

    I have a feeling the other one I was going to post has already been posted. (Going back through 16 pages is not fun on my slow dial-up) So I guess I'll try this one. Is this rock?

    This one's decidedly pop-rock. Since no one is answering, here's a big clue: This group had a big hit on a (hit-filled)soundtrack in 1986.

    Oh, come on now. Answer this before someone scolds me for breaking rule #2.

    This soundtrack I mention: Several years before it was the name of a movie, it was a song by the Psychedelic Furs.

    Think E.L.O. but the E is out.

    Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) - Crush - Pretty In Pink is the soundtrack you were referring to.

    I actually found it before he posted the last clue....It took awhile...cause the TOP soundtrack for 86 was Top Gun. When I entered my post his Psych Furs clue came up.

    This alternative rock group is regarded as being among the most fearlessly creative bands of their era, although they are not universally popular. Some members of older, popular rock groups say this is one of the greatest modern rock bands, but they don't enjoy the commercial success of those early outsider bands. The '93 album took it's name from a Jerky Boys skit.

    Early in his career he began living in the famed Tropicana Motel on Santa Monica Blvd in LA which is somewhat near the corner of Hollywood and Vine. He toured alot where he supposedly opened for such varied acts like C&W superstar Charlie Rich, pianist Billy Preston, John Hammond and Frank Zappa. During this time, ____ tried to live the lifestyle that he portrayed in his songs. During this time of smoke and alcohol, he also became involved with Rickie Lee Jones. This singer and pal Chuck E. Weiss were part of the same crazy scene that defined ____ persona in the seventies.

    Album released in 1974.
