... what do you think about The cross??... I´m amazed with this band right now... I don´t understand why even Queen fans gave his back to this KICK-ASS band.. (and I mean it)
Great great songs, amazing musicians (Moss is THE man), great singing of course and a variety of styles in each album...

[i]I love The Cross even more than Roger and Brian solo careers.[/i]

heard them, and never liked the band. Worst band ever.

I love The Cross, and every album just got better than the last.
The good quality boots I've heard are also amazing. Would love to see the albums re-released as 2 disc sets with studio album on disc 1 and a live album for disc 2.
And yes, the second and third are better than all the solo albums from Rog, Brian and Fred.

lol, if you think the cross albums are better than barcelona than it's obvious your young and stupid. The band sucked.

There's no reason to compare the Cross with Barcelona or other solo projects. They are from a complete different league. Or maybe we can compare Barcelona with ANATO on another thread?
Although Roger led the band, The Cross wasn't even a Roger solo project, but a band project. Many of the songs weren't even written by Roger.
Every album had some bad, good and great songs. I think Blue Rock is their best. I've heard many live concerts of them (only seen them once) and they're all very powerful with a very interesting mixture of songs.
If you're interested in Clayton's current project, here are some links:
Roger's singing on Mad, Bad & Dangerous and Blue Rock is his best by far. Great albums in addition.

The most underrated bands ever are so underrated that none of us know about them, so there's no way that's The Cross.
But I do agree The Cross were great... always hated the keyboard player, but the others rock.

Compiling the best tracks off MBADTK and Blue Rock would make a great album. Unfortunately both have too much middle of the road fillers with 'sexy' lyrics IMO. Still - I would like to see Roger get out there and performs some tracks of this period of his career.

I'd say that's a pretty accurate assessment. That said, if Roger wasn't in the band, they would have fallen through the cracks like tens of thousands of other bands, as they really weren't anything overly special in the grand scheme of things. The first album was awful in its dancy nature, and there is far too much derivative filler on the other two albums for them to ever be considered a great band, with or without Roger. But the few great tunes certainly were great. Power To Love, Life Changes, and Final Destination stick out to me.

trash band, not a shadow of brian's solo stuff ..... Man on Fire is a brilliant song but is that even the Cross or just Roger solo???
pittrek · Member since
Well personally I like 3 or 4 songs, so sorry, not a band for me
