Joe Walsh is the Real Deal.

well...it's hard livin' with such a man these past 18 years but there it is...we make these little concessions, i don't make him listen to joe and he doesn't make me listen to schmaltzy Moody Blues. *runs from the moody blues crowd throwing tomatoes*

i like both Wlash and the Moody Blues. there is a time for both.

The Moody Blues should be nailed to the Space Shuttle with all the Joe Walsh haters. Seen Joe live several times, met Joe twice. I think he'd be the best next-door neighbor ever.

The local DJs used to call Billy Squire "The K-Mart Led Zeppelin".

:::sigh:::

Other than his performance in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and even that wasn't all that great) I'm not a fan of Meatloaf (both the singer or the food) either...

YVW!

Love the food, hate the singer.

The guy can act, though.

Just kind of skimming through some stuff I've missed along the way. Read this yesterday but since then, I've been stuck with this mental picture of Dennis in his clown suit prancing to The Stroke.

You put your right hand out give a firm hand-shake
Talk to me about that one big break...

Must you torment me so?

Ashamed to like:

The Darkness
The Spin Doctors
Crash Test Dummies
Barenaked Ladies

SPin Doctors are currently on tour, with Blues Traveler.

Marillion (when Fish was singer) ohdearohdearohdear can't believe I'm writing this sober!

Hey, old Marillion wasn't bad!

Ashamed to like:

Wham!- Even as a straight guy I can appreciate George Michaels dancing

Neil Diamond- He may be hairy and sweaty, but that boy can sing (and write great songs)

Growing up in seattle and catching the last halfish of the grunge era and stuff, I was trained that that was the type of music I was supposed to like... don't get me wrong, I love my stack of Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and the like... but a long time ago I also started liking rap. LOVING rap. It's like poetry, with rythm and feeling. So... for a long tome that was my guilty pleasure. Now I've said "screw it" and can admit that I like it to anyone.

I'm pretty open about every kinda music though. I have albums from every genre, from almost every era, and that's cool with me.

...

Never mind, I take it back. I have a spice girls album. And I know every lyric to every song. And THAT shames me.

(And for the record, George Michael rocks my socks off.)

When I first heard And We Danced on the radio back in '85, it completely enthralled me. The song made me feel nostalgic for something that I never experienced, a false memory, yet it was very powerful. That's the mystery and magic of music. It was another classic song of the '80s for me. Then I heard All You Zombies and that was a mesmerizing song as well, with a strong message. The rest of the album turned out to be good as well, when I finally bought it.

She could dance all night
And shake the paint off the walls

The Hooters were awesome. They had a local album called Amore before Nervous Night. It contained some of the same songs, but with a rougher, unpolished sound. It's definitely my favorite Hooters album. When I was a senior, my high school won a contest whose grand prize was a Hooters concert. It was pretty cool to see them before they went on to national fame (sort of.) I'm so old.



Anyway, I'm ashamed to admit that I was singing America on my way to work the other morning. I don't think I like Neil Diamond. It happened just that once. Oh yeah... and Sweet Caroline. Once. I'm sorry.

OK, we all know what I am talking about. The song that you blast until you come to a stoplight, and then turn it down so the neighboring cars can't hear you.

We are all guilty of it. 'Fess up!

Mine?

You really don't want to know this about me, but its

England Dan and John Ford, I'd Really Love to See You Tonight

Was belting out Piano Man driving home

"If I Didn't Care" by The Ink Spots.

I don't know if I should be embarassed by it. It is a really good song, just a bit before my time.
