Sylvester Stallone's less successful brother, Frank is actually a truly accomplished musician. Back in 1983, when Staying Alive came out, director Sly turned to brother Frank for some help with the music score. Out came this incessant 80's rocker that still riles up crowds to this day. A couple of years ago, back in 2010 if I'm not mistaken, this song, without any marketing or re-release, managed to top the charts in Australia. It was simply discovered and requested on the radio. In fact, it generated such a craze that Frank and his band were invited down under for a tour that sold out venues in Melbourne, Sidney, Adelaide and most other major cities.

A song for the ages, despite that signature 80s synth, that we can all relate to. After all, how many times have we all been "down, but far from over"?
