Pretty sure George Harrison didn't play anywhere a couple of years ago.

OMFG man. What's the answer?

Probably sting and the police

...or Tegan and Sara everything is awesome not awesome

Please don't hate me, but it is trivia so nobody as famous.

Here's the opening line to both songs

Who sang them?

"Every time I think of you - I always catch my breath

- it always turns out good"

The Babys and Bad English, both with John Waite. Nice.

Here's an ear worm for you. Name the song with this lyric:

"One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do"

Southlake has some ****ty taste in music.

Come on, "Change" was an 80's anthem by John Waite. You can't watch Vision Quest and not get pumped.

Red Rider says hello.

At least Southlake's made the wheels turn. C'mon man, your question is like asking who sang "Thriller".

You may be being sarcastic, but just in case - Not Triumph, not Magic Power. Good relatively obscure band and song, however. Will note for future rock trivia thread.

That's gotta be Billy Squier. "What the music can dooooo!"

I wore out Don't Say No in my tape deck

That would be a good trivia question. Which rock video ruined Billy Squier's career?

Literally. People say stuff like that all the time and usually it's hyperbole. Not in this case. That video NUKED him.

I can't think of a band where a video effected an artist in such a negative way as that Squire video.

You want trivia....try to think of a band that was "killed off" by video. Lots made their careers with MTV, those are easy to come up with...dime a dozen. Who went the other direction? It would have to be a band/artist that headed into the 80's with a great career and sales. Then, they were either "too ugly" for video or made bad videos like Squier, and career crashed. Some bands, like Steely Dan, Pink Floyd (for a while) and Led Zep simply dissolved right before MTV broke. These bands very likely would have made some compelling videos, sorry we missed out.

Don't know if I could "pinpoint" MTV as the main killer (bad music will also do that), but these bands come to mind...
- Supertramp
- Doobie Brothers
- Bee Gees (probably death of disco here, but damn...they were huge. You'd think just putting Barry out front you'd stay somewhat prominent)

MTV killed Christopher Cross. He was literally told he was too ugly for television.

Black Crowes and Tesla are a couple more that I can think of that are amazing but hard on the eyeballs.

That's the gold standard answer for that question. Sad too because he has legit chops.
