1.) Cross was a Canadian RAC band that released the album "Rise and Conquer" in 1992.
6.) The career of this Swedish band spans over 8 albums (including a mini-symphony cd) released between 1988 and 2004. Their music has evolved from smooth, floydian like to dark, almost Crimsonesque proportions over the years. Their style could generally be described as heavy, complex neo-prog with a strong emphasis on melody. The band was founded by ex-VON LYX guitarist Hansi Cross whose highly emotional guitar work (sometimes reminiscent of Steve Hackett's) gives the band a sound approaching that of IT BITES. As for Cross' vocals, they are slightly reminiscent of Dave GILMOUR's.
Their first three albums - which are grouped on the compilation disk "Dream Reality" -offer a mixture of long epics interspersed with a few pop songs; they are mostly reminiscent of PINK FLOYD and TWELFTH NIGHT, and perhaps to some extent GENESIS circa "Wind and Wuthering" but with a heavy approach. The following four albums (starting with "Paradox") are heavier, darker, and somewhat akin to RUSH, ECHOLYN or ANEKDOTEN. They feature long melodic guitar solos with spacious keyboards but also bear enough time signatures to remind you of KING CRIMSOM. Their latest release, "Playgrounds", is a bit more tame and spacey.
Not essential but the first three albums may interest you if you're into GALLEON or GRAND STAND. The heavier sound of their later albums will appeal more to fans of ANEKDOTEN, LANDBERK and MORTE MACABRE.

9. The Cross were an English rock band formed in 1987 by Queen drummer Roger Taylor. They released three studio albums before splitting up in 1993. In contrast to Queen and other outside projects, Taylor fronted the band and played rhythm guitar instead of drums (Wikipedia) (peterg@Sydney.au 10/06/2021)
Liar
Cross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my lady walks into the room
The lights come on to her sweet perfume
I didn't know the devils by her side
There I stood I had nothing to hide
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
You're a liar
I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says c'mon boy can you do your thang
So I turned around still wondering
When my love dances she makes me cry
My love dances with me tonight
My love said she's be the one
But now I know
Baby you're a liar
Oh you're a liar
A liar
But I'm still burning with desire
With the look of a panther
I got lost in the jungle
No I can't help myself again
I can't help myself
Baby you're a liar
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
Oh yeah you're a liar
A liar
I'm burning with desire
Oh baby you're a liar
Oh baby you're a liar (you're a liar)
Oh baby you're a liar (you've bin known to veer from the truth)
Lies
You're a liar
You're telling me lies
Baby you're a liar
Lies
I'm burning with desire
Lies
Baby you're a liar
The song "Liar" by Christopher Cross tells the story of a man who has been deceived by the person he loves. He describes his lady as someone who walks into a room and instantly captivates the attention of everyone around her. However, he later finds out that she has a dark side and is not what she appears to be. The man feels hurt and betrayed because he trusted his love and believed in her.
The lyrics are a mix of emotions – from admiration to anger and disbelief. At first, the man is grateful for the love he has received from his lady. He believes her to be the one who can teach the blind to see and bring him the wildest of mysteries. However, later on, he realizes that she has been lying to him about who she is, and he is hurt. Despite this, he cannot seem to let go of his burning desire for her.
The song's chorus is a repetitive reminder of the betrayal, with the man calling his love a liar. The lyrics are a strong expression of the emotions one goes through after finding out that someone they loved was not who they thought they were.

That's quite a good band, but I'm not pretty sure whether I'd feel very comfortable by being the drummer in Roger Taylor's band o_o

im good friends with his daughter-
Sloppylicious
@Sammibluegirl The contrast is a good point. The input by the others truly enhanced it all. It definately wasn't just "Roger Taylor and band". So bad it didn't last long. I wish 2/4Queen would have concidered going solo or create a new band together, rather than this Queen+ shit ongoing for years now.
Sammibluegirl
@Sloppylicious I don't mind Shove It actually, after all it was Cowboys and Indians that got me into the Cross more than half a decade ago, but I see what you mean when you say it's dated, bc compared to the other two is a sheer contrast.
My Queen top three change so often, but right now they are Innuendo, The Miracle, and Queen 1.
Sloppylicious
@Sammibluegirl I think Shove It didn't age well. To me it just feels somehow arbitrary. But I guess it has to do with the "80s sound". It can be really decent or pure gold.
The thing with Queen is that any album does have at least one song I truly hate what downgrades the album as such. I guess I like The Miracle best followed by News of the World and The Works.

Can we all just appreciate the fact it’s a good song and not just how roger looks. He’s more than just a pretty face
