OH SNAP!
Simple one here, hopefully. Similar artists/songs/mixes similar to Can't Feel My Face by the weeknd (obviously)? Mainly the tempo, drums and bassline. I can't even really figure out what genre it is- it sounds similar to electro house to me but it's slower. gently caress, i don't know. I just know it's funky and I need more like it!

Help is greatly appreciated!

Dexys Midnight Runners - there's a lot more to them than "Come On Eileen". It's hard to recommend a specific album, because the three they did in the 1980s were complete reinventions each time. The first one (Searching For the Young Soul Rebels) is along the lines of Stax Records by way of the Northern England soul clubs; the second one (Too-Rye-Aye) is the one with "Come On Eileen" and adds all these Celtic melodies and timbres; and the third (Don't Stand Me Down) was their experimental, expansive, progressive album, and pretty difficult to quantify.

Maybe Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark? I think "If You Leave" was probably their biggest track (and really the only thing I knew of theirs until a few years ago), but I think the stuff from their albums was generally better. "Organization" and "Architecture and Morality" were prob my fav albums that they made. I always thought they had a bit more "experimental" bent than a lot of the synthpop groups of the 80's.

That XTC song just made my day; it's from 1979 but pre-dates what would later be huge in the following decade. Apparently the song was quite popular too but somehow I never hear it on our radio stations' throwback setlist.

So yeah, can anyone give me some other band/song suggestions, that are similar to this? Not necessarily with all the sexual innuendo, etc. or even male vocals - just the general sound/riffs, really.

Warrant (first three albums - Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, Cherry Pie and Dog Eat Dog), Winger (first two albums - Winger and In the Heart of the Young) are the two bands I think of as the American version of Def Leppard, so you might like to try those.

Waking Up the Neighbours by Bryan Adams is basically a Def Leppard album (produced by Mutt Lange and everything). It's the one with the interminable Robin Hood song on it. If you can find the first two Romeo's Daughter albums, you might like to check those out; also produced by Lange, with Leppard-style production, but a female lead vocalist.

It's all melodic rock / AOR stuff (Journey, Foreigner, Boston), really, which I used to like. My favourite album in that category is Vital Signs by Survivor, but it's different from Def Leppard. Rock Candy Records does tons of remastered reissues for the genre.

Which Europe albums have you listened? Because while the ole stuff is good enough, their post-comeback material is largely even better. Especially their latest one, War of Kings, is a god drat masterpiece. And that is not empty hyperbole, it's really one of the best rock albums I have heard, ever. It came out in March and I am still nuts over it.

If it's the more outrageous 80s cock rock/AOR thing you specifically want, check out the bands Brother Firetribe and Free Spirit.

But seriously, get War of Kings. It's so loving GOOD.

Kiss in the 1980s (from Creatures of the Night in 1982 through to Revenge in1992 - the "no make-up" period) went for the same kind of sound. Tesla was very influenced by Def Leppard and opened for them when they were touring Hysteria. Have you listened to Pyromania by Def Leppard yet? It's definitely their best album.

Take a look at Night Ranger and drat Yankees (the latter was a supergroup which included Tommy Shaw from Styx, Jack Blades from the aforementioned Night Ranger, and Ted Nugent). Absolutely listen to Gary Moore's solo output up as far as After the War.

I can mention a bunch of more obscure ones. Coney Hatch, Honeymoon Suite (both Canadian), Y&T, Diving For Pearls, Heaven's Edge, Balance, Streets (Steve Walsh's band after he left Kansas), Drive She Said, Speedway Boulevard (featuring a very young Jordan Rudess on keyboards), Lionheart, Praying Mantis, Vardis (all sort of "melodic NWOBHM" along the lines of the first DL album), Little Angels, maybe Thunder and Terrorvision and Blue Murder (first album at least).

A couple of more recent (ie. started in the last five years) bands from Britain who play melodic rock are Vega, Serpentine and the Treatment. You might like to try them as well.

There's probably more, but that's all that comes to mind at the moment. There's a few mainstream ones I've not mentioned, and a bunch I've just forgotten. As I say, I used to be into this stuff (an embarrassing chapter of my late teenage years). I had a subscription to Classic Rock Presents AOR magazine and everything.

Oh really? I uh, actually kind of dismissed the newer Europe stuff without listening to it first when I got a bunch of their older material, thinking 'surely their newer work won't be as good as their original classics' but welp, guess I'm wrong! I'll go through it all and will probably wind up picking WoK up. Thanks, I would've missed it otherwise!

And thanks for the other suggestions, you two! I've got quite a list to go through, today - unfortunately I'm at work at present, but it looks like I've got a solid afternoon of picking through the work of the bands you've both posted!

Well to be fair, they did change their sound quite a bit from their old glory days, so I can't just say "They're just the same but better."
Their comeback album Start from the Dark was more modern hard rock with pretty crunchy guitars etc. Pretty good at that, though. Since then they've gradually turned up the retro dials and gotten more bluesy, and War of Kings is just full of 70s worship, just with modern sounding production. It's not just tired rehashing though, the album does have its own feel to it.

And I wanna add, the rest of their newer albums are all worth checking out too, especially Secret Society, which is more modern sounding melodic hard rock, and Bag of Bones, which is a more bluesy, groovy affair.
