I remember a few years ago, a mate and I wondered how many 'rock' bands we knew, who had penned a track with the title 'Hold On'.  Counting them up, we got to quite a few......Ermm
 
Here is my list of 'Hold On' tracks I remember from the past...in chronological order....I'm sure I've missed quite a few out...Embarrassed
 
Deep Purple: Stormbringer (1974)
Steve Winwood: Steve Winwood (1977)
Triumph: Just A Game (1979)
Kansas: Audiovisions (1980)
Santana: Shango (1982)
Yes: 90125 (1983)
Barclay James Harvest: Victim Of Circumstance: (1984)
Wilson Phillips: (1990)
 
and er, Jackson Browne: Hold Out (1980).... (ok it's called Hold On (Hold Out), but I used to love it, and its my game, so it stays included.....LOL)
 
OK, so how many more can you add??  There are THREE rules...
 
1) The song has to be simply called 'Hold On' so ELO's 'Hold On Tight' is ruled out...
2) A case can be made out for it being either Rock or Metal, albeit loosely.
3) It has to be a song you know/ remember personally (if you own it, all the better!)... no googling or yahooing for lists!
 
I shall be most interested in your responses.....Approve

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

How about 'Hold On (To Your Love)' by UK AOR band Shy? Seeing as you included a Jackson Browne one with parenthesis and all...

There's an album by Trapeze called 'Hold On', which also has a track called, you guessed it, 'Hold On'. It has Pete Goalby later of Uriah Heep, but is a fairly flat AOR album, IMHO...far removed from the Glenn Hughes era work.

"Hold On" sounds like the perfect title for a mediocre Bon Jovi song. I'm sure they'll record one someday.

Crack the Sky do a song called Hold On. It was the first track on their debut album,which Rolling Stone voted Debut Album of the Year.
 
 
They were a moderately succesful band from my area,and they were here in Art Rock,but now are in Heavy Prog.
