finetune artist: Billy Squier

Boston rocker Billy Squier first attracted attention as the leader of '70s hard-rock/power-pop band Piper, but went solo at the onset of the '80s. Squier's second solo album, 1981's DON'T SAY NO, was a massive success, spawning several hit singles with its blend of hard-rock crunch and pop hooks, and making the singer/songwriter/guitarist one of the top rock attractions of the era. The follow-up EMOTIONS IN MOTION was a substantial hit as well, but after that Squier's star began to fade, and for a while he dropped out of the music business altogether. However, the 1998 comeback album HAPPY BLUE showcased a more mature, low-key Squier, even reinventing his hard-hitting 1981 smash "The Stroke" as "Stroke Me Blues."

His first three albums or cd's are worth getting and playing over and over until you wear them out. My favorite songs are "In The Dark","lonely Is The Night","My Kinda Lover", and "Everybody Wants You". And of course let's not forget "The Stroke".
