I don't know, I have to disagree with you there. In my book, TFC—and especially the follow-ups OOTW and PiP—were the absolute peak of their career, though I will say their 2009 Last look AT Eden was also REALLY solid. It seems like the people who constantly dismiss them as trash usually haven't listened to anything beyond TFC and Carrie, which is a shame because Europe was a damn good band. Towers callin', open Your Heart, Just The begining , ninja, Ready or not , Girl fra Lebanon, Prisoners in Paradise, All or nothing... From those first two eras, I’d definitely single out Scream of Anger, on broken wings, and Dance The Night away.
So, we're talking about that legendary band from back when the world was basically split down the middle between Europe fans and Bon Jovi fans.
They have this pretty weird, paradoxical reputation here in the States. Most people act like they can't stand them, yet nobody can actually name a single track besides "TFC" or "Carrie." And then, of course, you hear everyone saying, "Man, if they ever toured, I'd definitely catch them in Chicago."🤷
What do you guys think? Would you actually show up to see Europe live?
