Rock Realms Mix Tapes

NIGHT

Opposite of day, rhymes with light, er... Yeah, so these songs all have the word night in. Why? Why not...! The songs are listed in no particular order... just in case you were wondering....

Click on each entry to read the respective Rock Realms review (if we have done one).

KISS
Crazy Crazy Nights (1987)

Party rock doesn't get much better than Crazy Crazy Nights. If you can listen to this track without tapping a foot you...probably have a medical issue.

Loverboy
This Could Be The Night (1985)

Utterly compelling song from the mid 80's that's so good you might actually cry. Oh, just us then? Ah...

Whitesnake
Still Of The Night (1987)

One of my first ever 'favourite rock songs'. It's remains near the top to this day.

Jorn
Night City (2008)

Jorn's finest ever album produced several cracking songs. This is easily the best with the word 'night' in the title...

Survivor
Summer Nights (1981)

Silly album cover, great song. What else can I say?

Guns N' Roses
Nightrain (1987)

This is the song that made traveling by rail in the dark cool again. Possibly.

Halford
Nightfall (2000)

Why Mr. Halford can't produce music this good with Judas Priest any more I don't know. Thank goodness for his solo career!

Patti Smith Group
Because The Night (1978)

Written by big Brucie Springsteen and Patti, this is her biggest hit and you can easily hear why.

AC/DC
You Shook Me All Night Long (1980)

And boy did they!!

Europe
Rock The Night (1986)

What good advice!

Starship
Set The Night To Music (1987)

Along with Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now from the same album, this is a Diane Warren penned track. Versions by other artists exist, but this is the best...so far.

Judas Priest
Night Crawler (1990)

Oh yes, we like this one...

Whitesnake
Children Of The Night (1987)

Whitesnake have no right to be this heavy or this good. Somebody really should tell them!

Sunstorm
Night Moves (2006)

The album was absolute genius. The song was too. That's what you call a win-win situation...

Richard Marx
Hold On To The Nights (1987)

We like Richard Marx. We like this song. We also like beer and chocolate. Anything else is on a need to know basis.

Just missing the cut, honourable mentions in no particular order go to Running Into The Night by Marcie Free, All Night Long by Rainbow, One Of These Nights by The Eagles, Another Rainy Night by Queensryche and Night Falls by Coldspell.
