“Coast to Coast” by Scorpions
From the album Lovedrive (1979)
“Coast to Coast” by Scorpions appears on 6 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 1990 and 1999. It was first released in 1979 on the album Lovedrive. Its best result is #530 on the KISW Top 1000 of All Time (1994). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #726 hard rock song of all time.
Rudolf Schenker composed "Coast to Coast", and it lands on Lovedrive, the German band's sixth studio album, from 1979. Rudolf plays guitar, Matthias Jabs handles electric guitar, and Michael Schenker, never a sure thing on a Scorpions record, turns up on electric guitar as well, with Francis Buchholz on bass, Herman Rarebell on drums and Dieter Dierks producing.
Lovedrive was a big step forward in the band's sound, the album that nailed down their mix of hard rock and melodic ballads, and some critics still rate it their peak. It was also their first record for Harvest in Europe and Mercury in the United States and Canada after they left RCA.
