Little River Band - Greatest Hits - The Other Guy

[mdmphd]

I always liked this and would crank the speakers when I'd play it on the radio. I didn't get until much later that it's likely Johnny Farnham that made it pop

[niamhorourke]

LRB was my first concert - second-billed to Foreigner and right before Cheap Trick. 1977. NOTE TO YT - VIDEOS PRECEDED BY ADVERTS WILL NOT BE WATCHED.

This band is a breath of fresh air everytime I listen I think how much people have missed by not appreciating their music in the 70 and 80's. Perhaps with a little help from google youtube others will listen to some of the most thought provoding and intelligent music ever made. You can forget Mick Jaggar. This band is hand down in my books the most entertaining and classy band of its time. They are timeless.

The 80s was an awesome decade to be a 20-30 year old too. I was in the Navy at the time, saw them in Seattle, Sept. 1981at the Arena when our ship, the USS McKee AS-41 was being commisioned. King Biscuit recorded the show and you can search for it on Yahoo. Saw the Dead that same timeframe, not even close to the quality of show LRB put on.

the 80s was a awesome decade to be a teenager, if your not from that era, too bad for you all

[AshaneD98]

I will show this band to my kids, in oppose to Justin Beiber, Metallica, and other bands i do not care for. LOL

[bucky468]

@AshaneD98 Metallica isn't all that bad. Old school Met is the best.

[ShelbyANDTele]

@AshaneD98 yes...they will be like me...the 1st band i saw was the steve miller band,youngest person there!!!!!! XD

[Giokebox]

@ignacio313 a good remark!

[orygun79]

@ignacio313 Best comment Iv'e read all day!

[orygun79]

Respond to this video... F the other guy!

[lanceyourlot]

@ignacio313 Dude, EPIC! xD

[bagobuilder]

@ignacio313 Very well said. A huge ass thumbs up for your comment!

[mrrex35]

The harmonies on these guys are tight ! Flawless.

[skipper8257]

Super group as far as I am concerned. Great music and great vocalists.

[cparkes92]

John Farnham sang lead on this song, correct?

[Giokebox]

@cparkes92 Right, in 1982 Glenn Shorrock was not on the band. The Other Guy was the first single with John Farnham on vocals.

[cparkes92]

@Giokebox This single made LRB one of very few musical acts to hit the top 10 (on some minor charts, #11 on Billboard) in America with four different lead singers (Shorrock, Birtles, Nelson, Farnham).

[Giokebox]

@cparkes92 I guess LRB is the only act to achieve such thing. In the most of times, when a lead singers leaves a group they fail to chart sooner or later. See Van Halen. Thx for the info. Greetings from Brazil.

[jgsuperpants]

@Giokebox The Beatles did it as well, since Ringo sang lead vocals on "Yellow Submarine"

[cyberlucy]

@cparkes92 Which one did Beeb do the lead on? 

[cparkes92]

@cyberlucy I think he shared lead with Shorrock on Cool Change. If you threw that one out, LRB still would have achieved three top 15 Billboard hits with three different lead singers in a little over a year.

[muzikkraz]

No matter how many times I listen to li'l river band's greatest hits it's like I'm hearing it again for the first time.

A truly remarkable achievement by a superb band playing perfect music.

Thanks for including this song, glovebox compartment...lol

[maychuperomingan]

[mrrex35]

This reminds me of my pops - the harmonies are tight !Great song from a great era.

[autumnjoy39]

Awesome song ! It takes me back to the 80s. Thanks for posting!

[Giokebox]
