My favorite Aldo Nova song.

[River_Hippie]

I have this on a mix tape. Yes, an actual cassette! Listen to it once in a while.

Any Aldo Nova fans?

I had that album on vinyl (I think) back in '81? '82? Played that thing to great excess for months on end. Funny that I haven’t even thought of him for maybe a couple decades now. Where DOES the time go?

I loved that album! I’ll have to give it a listen to figure out my favorite song.

He had a **second **song? :eek:

I know one Aldo Nova song: Fantasy. We used to crank that one while cruising around in high school in the mid 1980’s.

Same. He was discussed a bit in guitar circles - I think he had a sunburst 50’s Les Paul at one point, and was known for doing studio work prior to trying solo.

Read this on his Wiki page - yeah, he has found a lot of success as a collaborator, but whoever wrote the Wiki entry suggests he is kinda bitter about it:

Sadly, Aldo Nova has always failed to be mentioned on either Celine Dion’s, Jon Bon Jovi, and La Ley’s Wikepedia pages. As a songwriter, Nova’s recent hits include Clay Aiken’s “This Is The Night” (co-written with Chris Braide and Gary Burr), which in the US was a number one hit and the best selling single of 2003. He was also the only writer to have written or co-written 5 songs on Celine Dion’s Taking Chances album. Presently, Aldo chooses only to write his own music and refuses to collaborate with any other artists. [3]

And his Les Paul shoots friggin lasers.
Since liking thrash metal seems to have become an acceptable thing for an adult to do these days; If I have a guilty pleasure, it’s this era of music.
