[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. ELO, baby.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. ELO kicked much ass.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

9. But, yet, they're the Rodney Dangerfield of Pomp Rock.

[LynneSin]

16. I love Electric Light Orchestra

:D

[mark0rama]

19. This isn't the way the thread was supposed to work!

Where's the ridicule?

(Damn, I like ELO a lot too.)

[redqueen]

62. Are they?

I like them too... was unaware of the stigma though. Oh the shame!

[tigereye]

23. what is with you boys?

you weren't even born then! Were you? I did like those guys... way back when. God, the 70s for the umpteenth time! When will it end?



(well except for the punk stuff?)

[PurityOfEssence]

97. How could anyone not like a band immortalized in song by Randy Newman?

"The Story of a Rock and Roll Band"

Don't get much more sanctified than that. (Well, except maybe when Todd Rundgren covers you...)

[St. Jarvitude]

162. ELO ROCKS!!!!

How could any non-Freeper make fun of you for that?!!?!?! HOW I ask?! :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Man, I still have Styx, Journey AND REO Speedwagon in my collection.

[mac56]

4. The Grass Roots

and the Raspberries

and Paul Revere and the Raiders

and of course the Spongetones.

www.spongetones.com

[FrankBooth]

5. UFO

big hair and spandex generally does nothing for me, but I love those guys.

[Westegg]

81. Hey, "Lights Out" is a GREAT album!

[Zorra]

175. Phenomenon is a great album.

[FrankBooth]

176. I love "Strangers in the Night"

The live album. What solos!

[shaolinmonkey]

6. I once paid to see Loverboy and the Hooters.

oh, the shame.

[Maestro]

12. I've seen Loverboy twice and still

like their early stuff. That is probably the band I would catch the most hell for. But really, some of their early stuff is quite good and then they went all sappy or is it sappier? ;)

[shaolinmonkey]

20. Not sure if it's sappy or sappier. Kind of like when Aerosmith started

writing prom theme music for a living.

[Maestro]

72. They actually look edgier now with age.

[SiouxJ]

55. I went to that show but it was only because I got free tix ;-)

And I always liked the Hooters. I got backstage and met them so it was worth it!

[LiberalVoice]

7. Styx ROCKS!!!

I still listen to one of their albums at least once a week.

[southpaw]

8. The Cult...

If "Sonic Temple" isn't the best album ever recorded, it's only because "Love" beat it out for the top spot.

[tigereye]

24. I used to really like the Cult

[BigMcLargehuge]

181. BAAAAABY BAAAABY BAAABY BABY I FELL FROM THE SKYYYYY!!!

The Cult rocks

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Klaatu.

[Magrittes Pipe]

106. No hate for Klaatu?

:cry:

[SnohoDem]

173. I had their second album years ago

and loved it. That was during the "Klaatu is the Beatles" rumor days. I sold the LP and forgot about them.

[IronLionZion]

11. cranberries

shameful, I know :P

[Parrcrow]

18. I think the cranberries are great

:yourock:

[Guaranteed]

13. Everyone already clowned on me cuz I like Billy Joel

and "We Didn't Start the Fire" (for the LYRICS!!)...

So SAVE it! :)

[LiberalVoice]

14. N*sync(Yes the asterisk matters!)

No, I'm not gay...No, i/m not a 12 year old girl. I am a 21 year old who just happens to love Nsync!

I have ALL their albums, including both Justin Timberlakes solo album and JC Chasez solo album. I have listened to them since they released their first album here in America. I know the words to every single one of their songs. Released or Unreleased. Then again I know the words to almost every single by Queen, Prince, Elton John, Craig David, Norah Jones, Styx, and all the LOTR Soundtracks!

Backstreet Boys can kiss my ASS! :mad:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

110. I'm admitting right here on DU

I have seen N*SYNC and Britney Spears in "concert".

Oh my god, I should just stop. That was when I was 12 and this is the present. I'm ashamed.

[theivoryqueen]

122. you are obviously younger than me

and thusly I must hate you (kidding) I am currently listening to the young fresh fellows amy grant.... really, anything goes after this

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

124. I'm 17

I grew up :P

APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T, since you're still in loooove with NSYNC

just kidding, ;) i'm just being hypocritical

[realisticphish]

136. I once saw 98 degrees

In my defense, I was 12, and the next concert I went to was Metallica's summer sanitarium tour

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. Michael Jackson

Man, Off the Wall and Thriller are the SHITE!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

131. I loved "Off the Wall"

"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" is his best song ever.

[LynneSin]

17. I'm proud to admit I own a Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest

[GOPisEvil]

21. You have Myron Florek, too!

[LynneSin]

32. He's not a band, he's an accordianist

so there!


And it's Myron Floren

[GOPisEvil]

43. Oh yeah...I get him and Dann Florek confused.

[Bonhomme Richard]

22. Franki Valli and the Four Seasons.................

Am I goofy or what?

[tigereye]

28. no, no

for me it's:

Guns and Roses ( occasionally -)
Yes ( it was the 70s, nuff said, endless stoner complexity)
Bread - I was really young with little taste.

[Beer Snob-50]

25. I once paid to see Adam Ant and the

band that sang, "What i like about you"

[redqueen]

64. The Romantics?

I like Adam Ant too!

[Beer Snob-50]

65. YES!!

"That was them. Good show BTW

[redqueen]

71. I liked that song too

My first bf said it reminded him of me so I'm sure that's burned in my brain for good!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. The Bangles

[mvd]

38. No making fun of from me

They absolutely rock! :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

"Hero Takes a Fall" is a great song.

Actually, their whole first record is top-notch, beginning to end.

[fudge stripe cookays]

126. That's still my favorite song of theirs, too.

[goodboy]

172. I think that song, "eternal flame" is a really nice song.

nothing to be ashamed of, I don't think...it's put together really well.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

27. Goldfrapp..............

I know they're "techno-lite", but the singer is so SEXY..........

[XNASA]

29. Paul Revere & the Raiders

[johnnie]

37. I have all their records

And some on CD. I always thought they were pretty good. I even have an autograph 8X10 of Mark Lindsey...(it was a freebie). But I guess some people would laugh at this one.

[Philostopher]

140. My older sister won a contest with one of the teen rags...

Back in the sixties and got to be on Action with them. She had a crush on Fang, but Mark Lindsay was actually the one who was nicest to her. I've heard the whole story about a dozen times. She had an autographed stuffed toy -- don't know if it was actually from the band or was the mascot of the Action show.

[Forkboy]

30. Pig Destroyer,Khanate,Agorophobic Nosebleed

of course,you have to listen to these guys before you can fully make fun of me...and that's the beauty of my evil plan!

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha :evilgrin:

[PittPoliSci]

138. Agorophobic Nosebleed

nothing but noise.

But that's okay, cause i love them.

Fan of Arab on Radar, Melt Banana, Napalm Death, or Impaled Nazerene?

[Forkboy]

151. Haven't listened to napalm death in years

I used to love them,but just moved on.Shane and Danny Herrara from ND are in a band with Buzzo from the Melvins and Kevin Sharp from Brutal Truth,called Venomous Concept.The CD just came out this week.I've only heard a couple tracks and it's pretty damn aggressive shit :)

http://www.venomousconcept.com/

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE Melt Banana.Cell Scape is easily my favorite CD in years,but thier early stuff is great too.I just saw them right before Easter with Fantomas and they were fantastic!

Pig Destroyer is the same guy from Agorophobic,Scott Hull.PD has a real drummer even! It's similiar to AN but a little more structured (very little).Just as a brutal though.I like them a tad better than AN,but my friend likes AN just a tad better than Pig Destroyer :) You wont go wrong if you like Agorophobic...trust me! Thier new CD will have 2 discs,one full of music and the other a twisted story of some kind (when you hear the bit "Jennifer" off of Prowler in the Yard you'll have an idea what to expect :evilgrin: ). Plus it will all be in 5.1 Dolby Surround...bwahahahahahahahaha!

I have heard of Impaled Nazarene but haven't heard them yet.Someone else mentioned them to me so I guess I should check it out :)

Arab on Radar I've never heard of at all,and that's suprising because there isn't much that escapes my friend and I.I'll see if I can find something by them though.Thanks for the tips :)

[PittPoliSci]

160. If you love Melt Banana, you'll love Arab on Radar.

They're just silly. One song's lyrics is "you're kids are not safe from us homosexuals." I nearly died laughing. About a month after I heard that song the big "sniper" thing came up in Ohio, and he said "you're kids are not safe!" I immediately called my friend and screamed into the phone "you're kids are not safe...from us homosexuals!"

They have other equally ridiculous rhymes/lyrics. From the same song, called Semen on the Mount:

Your kids will devil with their devilish stuff,
Your kids will dream about their, teacher's muff.

*on edit*

Arab on Radar has broken up, they're now in a band called the Chinese Stars, it's a little different, more structure to the songs, but still really good and worthy of checking out.

[MissMillie]

31. Barry Manilow and The Carpenters

I have a couple of his Greatest Hits records... with Mandy, Weekend in New England, Copacabana, Trying to Get the Feeling, Could it Be Magic...

... not that I'm longing for a return to "the good ole days", but this music reminds me of growing up in the terrific home I grew up in, with one of the few functional families left on the planet. I guess it just makes me realize how lucky I am.

And can anyone deny that Karen Carpenter had one of the most amazing tones in pop music? Rich, deep, smooth.... very nice. And her bro was pretty good at arranging music.

[redqueen]

66. The Carpenters are tops

I agree her voice was one of the best ever. I like Barry too ... who doesn't know all the words to those songs? So fun to sing along with.

[Beaverhausen]

74. The Carpenters was one of my first concerts

Her voice...those harmonies...those great Bachrach/David songs.

"Why do birds suddenly appear..."

[redqueen]

79. Don't short Richard, though

his arrangements were part of the magic IMO. :)

[ronnykmarshall]

132. Karen Carpenter was awsome

She had one the most pure, musical voices ever.

[Bertha Venation]

33. The Captain & Tennille

True Confessions: I was a bubble-gum groupie!

[Lavender Brown]

34. I went to a Boyz II Men concert...

over 10 years ago. I'm only a little bit ashamed.

[matcom]

36. a LITTLE?

are you INSANE? :D

[Lavender Brown]

40. I'm glad I didn't mention they were MC Hammer's opening act

Woops. Now I'm REALLY embarrassed.

[mvd]

35. Avril Lavigne, Abba (all,) Phil Collins, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, Hanson,

Kylie Minogue, 3 Doors Down, Rachel Farris, Stella Soleil, BBMak, The Monkees..

These are more than bands, but I thought I'd list all artists.

I can take it. :P

[livinginphotographs]

70. Phil Collins rox!

Well, not really, but I do absolutely love his music.

You're on your own for those other bands, though, bub. :P

[Magrittes Pipe]

75. That chick in Hanson is hot.

I'd do her.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

105. I won't trash you for Hanson or The Monkees

:D

[slackmaster]

39. OK, I admit that I like SOME songs by ABBA

But I pretend not to like them when someone plays their tunes on the jukebox at Sparky's.

The cover band Bjorn Again rocks too.

[Commendatori]

41. Cinderella - first album wasn't any good, but the second

one, "Long Cold Winter," kicked ass.

[jus_the_facts]

47. '....don't know what ya got....till it's goooone....'

....don't know what it is I did so wrooong....now I know what I got..it's just this soooong....it ain't easy to get back...takes sooo loooong..."

Got the CD riiiight here...loved the first one too btw...got to meet 'em all when they played here too!! :loveya:

[SiouxJ]

59. Saw them on that tour

(LCW) and not ashamed to admit it. I used to go see everyone back then.

[robertpaulsen]

42. The Monkees!

It's easy to ridicule a band manufactured for TV, but I love their music.

[slackmaster]

44. I know a Monkees fanatic

She has a wonderful collection of Monkees recordings and swag. I look at her holdings with the same admiration and respect as any serious collection of match book covers, coins, or anything else one chooses to adore.

They played at the San Diego Street Scene a couple of years ago. They happened to be on stage at the same time as the Village People. I was torn, but in the end the Monkees' seniority won me over.

[underpants]

45. Material Issue-if anyone remembers them

totally useless pop love songs but it was good-only one album I think.

[johnnie]

46. I listened to that cd over and over

International pop overthrow. Wasn't that it?

On edit: Nope it is called "Freak City Soundtrack"

[underpants]

51. International Pop Overthrow is the one I have

Still-I haven't listened to it in a while.

[johnnie]

54. Freak city soundtrack

Is a great Pop album. It's produced by some of the guys from The Sweet

[Az]

48. Aqua and Toy Box

Bubble gum bands from obvious former punk backgrounds. Just something about them. They do these bubble gum happy songs but there is this edge sitting just below their pasted smiles.

[Bonhomme Richard]

49. I Forgot....Ricky Martin................

I have to dance when I hear that song of his. Hah!

La Vita Loca. Really not a bad album, just way overplayed.

[ProfessorGAC]

50. Raspberries & Three Dog Night

Oh, and America, too!

I know, i know!
The Professor

[XNASA]

57. Three Dog Night!???

Bwahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

Nobody, but nobody should ever laugh at the Raspberries, who were truly one of the greatest Power Pop Bands of all times.

[johnnie]

178. I bought my first electric off of Dave Smally (1977 or so)

He wasn't there at the time, his wife was. They have done a few things in Cleveland here and there in the last few years. Great Pop band.

[sldavis]

52. They Might Be Giants

They've been my favorite band since junior high, but no one ever knows who I'm talking about. I've made a few converts by forcing people to watch their documentary, though.

[redqueen]

69. They have a documentary?

I love those guys... did an interview on NPR a few weeks ago. Very entertaining. :)

[sldavis]

85. "Gigantic"

I found the DVD on amazon.com; they describe the story of how the band came together. The commentary is a little dull, but the other bonus material is great. Lots of live performances and videos of old classics.

[redqueen]

88. Cool... thanks for the info

And Welcome to DU, btw!

:hi:

[tigereye]

117. you are not alone!

we love those guys and have for many years. I can still remember hearing "DOn't lets start" on college radio in the 80s. There are lots of us out here!

[TOhioLiberal]

143. TMBG rocks!

I love their 'Flood' CD.

Birdhouse in Your Soul, (Istanbul) Not Constantinople, and Particle Man are my favorites.

I'd like to thank 'Tiny Toon Adventures' for turning me on to TMBG!

Hey, and Welcome to DU...

[scarlet_owl]

159. No shame in liking TMBG.

I love them! Too bad I don't go to concerts, as they play here frequently. My husband goes every time, though.

[fishwax]

182. TMBG is great

I haven't gotten hold of Gigantic yet, but I'd love to see it.

[Insider]

53. Destiny's Child

[ronnykmarshall]

133. I'll second that.

[NoodleBoy]

56. Oasis

never could understand that one.

[chaska]

58. I love the Spice Girls!

[Magrittes Pipe]

76. "Spice Up Your Life" is a teriffic song.

[Gothic Sponge]

60. Dweezil Zappa

[redqueen]

61. I have to pick just one? Seals & Croft

Or maybe Cyndi Lauper

I think I'll stop there. :)

[AVID]

63. Bee Gees

[SiouxJ]

67. Yeah that would probably be mine too

I love their pre-SNF stuff. Before Barry discovered falsetto. I like some of their disco too but their early stuff is under appreciated if you ask me.

[Westegg]

83. Bee-Gee's "Main Course"---a great album...

"J-j-j-Jive talkin', don't tell me no lies!"

[SiouxJ]

87. Probably their best IMO

it was the first one Barry used his falsetto on (I think) but he still wasn't relying on it totally.

"Nights on Broadway" and of course "Fanny"! Two great tunes!

[Misunderestimator]

68. KC and the Sunshine Band

JUST KIDDING... leave me alone. :bounce:

[CO Liberal]

73. The Big Bands - Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Artie Shaw...

I used to hate it back in the '50s and '60s when my parents hauled out the old shellac 78s and stacked them up on the record changer in the Victrola in our living room. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate the music from the Big Band era.

[redqueen]

80. Good taste

Who can top Smoke Gets In Your Eyes?

[lazarus]

77. another Styx fan

Also a huge fan of ABBA and the Bee Gees.

[Magrittes Pipe]

78. What? No mention of Our Lord?

[Lavender Brown]

82. Who is that?

:dunce:

[Donkeyboy75]

183. Oh, you're going to hell.

It is The Great One. Rick Astley

[Westegg]

84. The Runaways: "Ch-ch-ch-Cherry Bomb!"...

Long live Kim Fowley!!!


Also Sweet, especially "Desolation Boulevard."

[tigereye]

116. The Runaways were cool

no fun made there

[DinahMoeHum]

153. and featured Joan Jett - a real kick-ass rocker !!

:kick:

[TX-RAT]

86. Black Oak Arkansas

[chaska]

89. Yes, great bad band.

[TX-RAT]

90. Careful your giving away your age.

[supernova]

92. Hey Jackie Blue is a great song.

:D It's in my mp3 collection.

[TX-RAT]

93. Remember Hot and Nasty?

Played on a 8 track Craig Power Play, With Jensen speakers.
Those were the days.

[Dees]

163. Ozark Mountain Daredevils I think

[supernova]

91. Huey Lewis and the News

I had a hard time coming up with one, but Huey is cute, catchy and I always have to stop channel-surfing when I hear one of those songs on the radio. I don't however, have any of his CDs.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

111. Do you have the Heart of Rock and Roll?

That was on VH1's most awesomely bad songs ever.

I laughed so hard, I'd never heard of those guys before but based on that... ooo boy.

This is a funny thread.

[VolcanoJen]

94. Dave Matthews Band

Deal with it... they're incredible, especially live.

They're scheduled to perform on July 8th at the New York City
Concert benefiting the "Kerry Victory Committee 2004" at Radio City Music Hall, as well.

So, they rock, and their politics are in the right place.

Now, go ahead and make fun of me anyway. :D

[matcom]

95. ugh

won't make fun of you cause i know they have a huge following but....

like nails on a chalkboard for me

[Blue-Jay]

98. That's OK, Jen. I love DMB!

I gotta disagree about seeing them live though. Both times I've seen them at Polaris, I thought that LeRoi stunk up the joint. Then again, being that I'm a sax player, I was probably overly critical of him. All I kept thinking was "Fuck. I can play better than him!" heh heh.

[VolcanoJen]

120. Were you at Polaris last Wednesday and Thursday?

They were incredible... and thanks to the Warehouse, I was fourth row center!

Second night was better than the first... and I'm diggin' the new songs, too.

Leroi and Boyd are both marginal musicians. It's Carter, Stefan and Dave that really make the band, imho.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

108. Yeah, I've seen them twice (maybe 3x by Saturday)

I love Dave Matthews.

[kmla]

96. Ummm. I have to admit to owning Culture Club's/Boy George's greatest...

Keep it filed in my CD cabinet, right next to KC and the Sunshine Band, ABBA, soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, and The Spice Girls.

:shrug:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

99. Jesus Jones

dismissed as an early 90s one hit wonder by most, but their later albums are pretty damn good, especially the most recent one from two years ago

[Blue-Jay]

100. Was / Not Was

Boom Boom Ackalackalacka Boom!

[rucky]

101. Shakira n/t

[jus_the_facts]

102. "Oh NOOOOOO....the river.....STYX!!!!!!!"

Funniest.Simpsons.EVER :evilgrin:

[geniph]

103. My first concert was Three Dog Night

I adored them. Of course, I'd be more embarrassed if not for the fact that I was 13 years old and didn't know any better.

More recent slightly-embarrassing favorites: Devo (hell, I've seen them in concert three times), the Go-Go's, Adam Ant...yes, I went through a pop-new wave phase. Still like 'em.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

104. Hanson

Yeah, fuck you.

They're awesome, and if you haven't heard anything but MMMbop then don't trash them because they're actually good now.

[matcom]

113. YEAH!!!! I GET TO LAUGH AT YOU HERE!!

:D

*snicker*

HANSON???????


WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

114. OH LIKE STYX IS SO MUCH BETTER

*points and laughs*

[matcom]

119. like comparing Zepplin to The BeeGee's

:P

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

123. More like comparing KISS (STYX) and the beegees (hanson)

heck, i'd go with the beegees in that rumble.

[ScreamingMeemie]

107. A-ha, Duran Duran and the Thompson Twins...

please don't make fun of me...:(

[maveric]

109. New York Dolls.

Complete with David JoHansen.

[SnohoDem]

186. I think I have Too Much Too Soon

on LP around here somewhere...

[liberalhistorian]

112. Okay, okay, I'm a lot older and

braver now so I can finally admit it: I loved, and still love (tiny hesitant whisper) Air Supply!! I even saw them in concert in high school and would do it again, so there!!

Okay, let the fun begin, I'm ready!!

[VOX]

115. Steve Miller Band.

Especially the first two albums, "Children of the Future" and "Sailor."

If there is an underachiever's hall of fame, I'd like to nominate Steve.

[Maestro]

127. Don't amy of his albums but I like the Dallasite -nt

[Wapsie B]

118. ABBA

and the Carpenter's.

[ronnykmarshall]

134. Loves me some ABBA!

[Wapsie B]

141. Dancing Queen

just keeps playing in my head when I think of them.

[ronnykmarshall]

149. I've seen "Mama Mia" twice.

Who would have thought that a musical could be made with ABBA music.

[goodboy]

171. Two of my cousins are in Mama Mia!

One, on Broadway, and the other in the 1st national tour. They're sisters, and their fabulous...

[theivoryqueen]

121. Trio - da da da

owch

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

125. America

I don't CARE what "Horse With No Name" means-- I still like it!

[fudge stripe cookays]

128. I'm with you, dude.

I still wonder what an alligator lizard looks like. I'll have to buy some before we have you over for local doings at our place.

:-)
FSC

[fudge stripe cookays]

129. Alright...sigh....Toto. There. I said it.

I really liked them from junior high all the way to college. Saw the live once too.

[jukes]

130. Motels

n/f/n

[philosophie_en_rose]

135. Nelson.

When I was in the third grade, I thought they were really cool.

[ikojo]

137. Am I the first MONKEES fan to post of

my love of them?

I also like Barry Manilow...

and Neil Diamond....

[PittPoliSci]

139. how about GWAR?

i don't care how silly their act is, it's still hilarious, and the music is fucking great.

[name not needed]

144. YEAH!!!

:headbang:

[juslikagrzly]

145. Three Dog Night

was my first concert too! Also saw Neil Diamond with my mom

HAAAAAAA, I'll laugh at myself for that one!

[slackdude]

146. GWARRRRRRR!!!!!

Hell yeah. I got to see them on Haloween one year. Best. Halloween. Ever. I also saw them another time with the Ex Cops (Gwar side project) opening up.

[Wapsie B]

142. The Tubes.

I don't think they've been mentioned yet.

[DinahMoeHum]

154. Hey, the Tubes were cool as a band and as performance artists !!

Especially Fee Waybill throwing the fake "Qaaludes" into the audience!

Their music had a touch of Broadway, vaudeville, and burlesque!!

What Do You Want From Life
White Punks On Dope
Don't Touch Me There
TV Is King

and I believe Todd Rundgren produced at least one of their albums!

:evilgrin:

[Wapsie B]

156. Yeah I liked their music.

Sounded like they really had it together.

[SnohoDem]

170. Their live album from about 76 was amazingly tight playing

one of my favorite live albums - and Fee doing crazy shit through the whole show.

[slackdude]

147. Huey Lewis and the News, Tom Jones

Possibly my guiltiest of guilty pleasures.

[Tom Kitten]

148. I have a KC and the Sunshine lp somewhere...

..."Greatest Hits"...It's got them all on it... "Shake Shake Shake (Shake Your Booty)", "That's the Way (Uh-Huh Uh-Huh)" , "Get Down Tonight"...I can't remember anything else by them, its been at least a decade since I played it!
Come to think of it I have a bunch of really cheesy disco lps I bought for cheap mainly because they were "cheesy"...A disco version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", an lp of nothing but disco covers of Led Zeppelin songs (including Stairway to Heaven), disco lp of beer barrel polka songs, Christmas carols, etc etc etc...

They're in a box in the basement, I hope they're ok, someday I'll sell them on eBay and make enough money to pay for my retirement world tour!

150. Gordon Lightfoot

Everybody thinks "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," but seriously, he is one of the great singer-songwriters of the 20th century.

No, REALLY. He is.

[Robeson]

152. Gord is....

....always Gold!

[marigold20]

194. I always liked Lightfoot too!

However, we went to the shipwreck museum in the Upper Penisula last week. They play the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" over and over. How do the poor staff at the museum stand it?

[DinahMoeHum]

155. OK, I confess !! Emerson Lake & Palmer/Powell

:evilgrin:

[Skittles]

157. Styx played in my high school gym

just before they made it big. I think they were a very underrated band.

[noonwitch]

158. I like Styx, at least the music before "Cornerstone"

And even a few songs off of that one and "Paradise Theater". "The Best Of Times" was a big hit the year I graduated from high school-although not my favorite song of theirs, it always makes me think of that time.

"Suite Madam Blue" could be a good campaign theme, but americans don't like being told to grow up.

[x-g.o.p.er]

161. Supertramp and Leo Sayer

[Dees]

164. Boston, America, Beach Boys, Kenny Chesney

Ozark mountain Daredevils, Steve Miller and Jimmy Buffet. How bout them apples?

[More Than A Feeling]

165. Should I be ashamed of liking Kansas?

"The Wall" is awesome!

[onecitizen]

166. Goose Creek Symphony.......

well you said you make fun of me for it. Let the funnin' start!

[SnohoDem]

168. Uhhhh

I love GCS - wish to heck I could Head for the Hills on CD.

[name not needed]

167. Alien Ant Farm, Dokken, Styx

Billy Joel, Presidents of the United States of America

:)

[goodboy]

169. Little River Band...(be gentle)

Hi DU....

[SnohoDem]

174. Romeo Void

I have everything they ever recorded (I think). Debra Iyall was a wonderful lyricist and that "wailing elephants" sax just gave them such a cool sound.

[Earth_First]

177. Phish?

I noticed your comments on DMB, so I would figure that Phish would classify as one in the same...

[Warren DeMontague]

184. Phish and DMB are NOT the same.

Not by a long shot.

Frankly, I'm not a huge Phish fan, as an old-school deadhead I always felt that their scene lacked the spiritual "core" that I used to get at Dead shows, in part (in this deadhead's opinion) because it's not in the music. But that just may be me being old. They're very, very talented musicians-- the first time I saw 'em was in a bar in Chicago with 200 people (insert jealousy here) and I was blown away. Dave Matthews is, in my opinion, jamband lite-- music for fratboys with little baseball hats, an infinite amount of lukewarm, same-sounding songs about sticking his head under his girlfriend's dress (a nice sentiment, to be sure)... Which isn't to say he's not talented-- I think he is-- but he's got the talent to do the whole range from one to ten, and he usually only takes it from 4.3 to 5.7.....

But what do I know. I've been a huge R.E.M. fan since 1983, a fact for which certain people give me no end of shit...

[TheMightyFavog]

179. John Phillips Sousa

And I'm not a band geek.

Really, I'm not!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

180. Duran Duran

I was a punk rocker who took abuse from my friends for liking the pop rock pretty boys. John Taylor was my favorite! :9

[NightTrain]

185. Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon

Last night I took a walk after dark,
a swingin' place called Palisades Park. :headbang:

[Zomby Woof]

187. I only like good bands

My collection is full-proof. :P

[texas1928]

188. Well I stopped posting to music threads

Everything I like gets me flamed.

[SmileyBoy]

189. Creed, but ONLY their first album.

Not the rest of the shit they made.

[neverborn]

190. T.A.T.U.

[skrunch]

191. Pablo Cruise

...just shoot me now...

[Dees]

193. No shots here

"Place in the Sun" is an excellent album.

[Rhiannon12866]

192. Barry Manilow

When I was a teenager, I went to a Barry Manilow concert and he was just terrific! I loved the songs and he had such energy! One of the best shows that I ever attended. I bought a shirt at the concert and when I subsequently wore it, all my friends made fun of me. Will you?:shrug:
