Here's a question/search for recommendations. Looking for cool classic rock, 70s-80s etc, that influenced this fine vintage J-rock. I love this stuff, and I just get a bit of deja vu or feel like it reminds me of bits and pieces of well known classic rock songs I'm forgetting. These are by Yoshiki Fukuyama / Humming Bird, and also Make-Up.

That first one with the cool bass line and emotional hard rock, it reminds me of something but not sure what. Particularly curious about that. The second song reminds me a little of Twilight by ELO and stuff like that. And I know his happy hard rock guitar solos are influenced by Brian May of Queen.

The Make-Up stuff reminds me of like Foreigner, Survivor, Europe, Journey etc. But anyways, I feel like there's a lot of cool stuff up this alley I could check out from classic rock. Thanks.

And outside of that, also just always interested in classic hard rock that is also emotional or epic, outside of being specifically a ballad. Though those can be cool too.

Absolutely, these are some of my fav bands, they have their own unique take for sure. I love Thin Lizzy and those bands, but this stuff reminds me of some other stuff. I hear some Boston in there for example, and Journey. Looking to scratch a musical itch I guess. Since this stuff has either synth or a layered emotional orchestration to go with the hard rock etc, or I guess just a uniquely cool to me mix of songwriting for hard rock.

Also, know any classic rock songs that do a bass line thing like that first song, Like A Fire? I'm sure that style of emotional rock song with a bass line in focus like that is a thing I've heard, but I can't think of one offhand.

Roundabout and Yoshiki Fukuyama were both featured in anime, so that's cool too. Thanks.
