One of the bands I discovered in high school was the Scorpions. They had just released their Blackout Album which featured the title song and "No One Like You". That album rocked and I started listening to a lot of their earlier stuff from Animal Magnetism and Lovedrive. Somehow for Christmas I convinced my Mom to pay for someone to airbrush the back of my jacket with the US cover of Lovedrive. I created a little controversy by adding the album name for anotherr album, "Virgin Killers". It looked something like this.
The combination of the guitars, Klase Mein's voice just seemed to fit so well in the early 80's Cold War period. Here are three favorites that show the Scorpions were able to rock, and cool things out with a softer side.
The Zoo
There are a couple of live videos that do the song justice but I wanted to share a studio version of the song. So here is one I found that includes the lyrics.
Always Somewhere
Not an official video but the audio sounds good.
Winds of Change
The final song was released 1990 but just has the feel of a cold war era song.
