kings but then there were these other bands that were right there at the same level killing it with massive hit songs case and point would be you know sticks or you speed wagon Kansas

Billy Squire they're these these bands that are absolutely loved here we lose one of the biggest records of all time of course sports they were right

there at the same level as these other bands and they meant the same to me because I love their songs rock and fucking bands and one of the leaders of that was a lever boy it came out in 1980 with

their debut the debut record lever boy just smashed it out of the gate nobody heard a lever boy here from canada they just hit the radio immediately turn
