Ok I'm not going THAT far....

I've been told it tastes more like a Margarita...

For dirty songs, nothing outclevers: "Licking the V" by Altered State (one of my personal favourites)

I was gonna bring this one up...love the off-kilter groove on that one...

To my list: C+C Music Factory, Kylie, Vitamin C...

I own The Hooters Hooterization: A Retrospective

Yes I do.

i can't believe i'm admitting this publicly.....

arrested development

ZZ Top ex. "Cheap Sunglasses", "La Grange" and "Pearl Necklace". Fuck yeah.

George Strait ex. "Amarillo by Morning". Sings a hell of a pop song.

Randy Travis ex. "Forever and Ever, Amen", "On the Other Hand", "Deeper than the Holler". Hell of a voice, and he seems like such a damn nice guy--despite his hellraising, juvenile delinquent adolesence.

I used to love some remix of "Lies" that came out back in 1991. I also used to like that Unexplained EP.

The Kelly Family (late 90's infomercial)

Video for Dear Or Alive 'You Spin Me 'Round...

Dave Mason 'We Just Disagree'

Stryper incl. 'Always There For You' video

Cher

Alan O'Day 'Undercover Angel'

Martika, Tiffany, L'Trimm, The Sex Bomb Dancers/Singers

Billy Squier

Cinderella

Warrant (kind of)

Nelson (a little)

J.J. Fadd (barely)

Men Without Hats "Pop Goes The World'

'Space Age Love Song'

'Hot Blooded'

'Big Balls' (because somebody recently mentioned it in another thread)

'More Than A Feeling'

I think they're considered more cool now, but E.L.O.

I like "Space Age Love Song".

My first Green Day album - American Idiot.

Bought it after hearing HOLIDAY. I like the album as a whole but wish it all had that new wavey sounds.

Uh, that song "Kids" by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, heh.

that dave mason tune is great.
just finished listening to an edited best of cher (no gypsies, indian bullshit)
more than...great car tune

I'm ashamed to admit to both "Feels Like the First Time" and "I Want to Know What Love Is." I mean, one Foreigner song is a guilty pleasure, but two is a disturbing trend.

So let me add that "Juke Box Hero" is the most execrable song in the history of rock 'n' roll and hope that re-balances the universe.


Marry me.

Shouldn't be so ashamed about the arrested development, I enjoys me a good AD song every now and again.

90s r&b is the best genre ever.

the bucketheads - "the bomb! (these sounds fall into my mind)"

you know, that dance song from the 1990s with that old chicago song in it that i didn't know was a chicago song until a few months ago.

i woke up my roommates on many an occasion by playing it as loud as my speakers would allow.

Wait, what? We're supposed to be ashamed of liking old ZZ Top? Why did I not know this? Pre-Eliminator Top is killer blues-rock.

I guess I'm supposed to be ashamed of loving Boston's Third Stage, but for whatever reason, I'm not. Come on - I can't think of another album that features the launch of the first organ-powered spaceship!

I'm not ashamed of shit. I'm just noting that there are quite a few people on here who simply do not like good music, they only like shit no one else has ever heard, much less care about. Indie snobbery is just a way of turning the tables on the kids who never accepted you before you graduated high school by inventing your own taste clique of advanced musical (and film/book/television/etc.) palette and holding it over the head of the savages, who didn't accept you then and don't even realize you exist now.

This isn't aimed at you, Tom. Your defense of Rush, Dream Theater, Kings X, etc. are badass. Those bands aren't really my bag, though I was a hearty Rush fan through middle school and junior high. It's good for diversity.

The reason these artists came up is because I heard each one of them on a late night scamper to the bank, so I figured I'd post 'em. I've also made no secret of my love of shitty shitty shitty 1970s AM pop hits. I love some shit that is not even remotely intellectual or artistically esteemed. I'm also more comfortable with myself and my preferences that I don't feel the need to choke down a Liz Phair or Antony & the Johnsons album 60 times so I can finally join the chorus hailing today's next genius who will be tomorrow's whipping boy that never lives up to the initial buzz of the breakout album or EP.

I'm also not even remotely interested in hearing everything released every single year. I don't have a problem with excluding genres from my collection. I'm not a fan of reggae or techno. I can't think of one single mp3 I have of either genre. I'm sure the Pitchfork cheerleaders would take umbrage at my closed-mindedness, but I'll be glad to entertain their suggestions if they would use their open-mindedness to explore bluegrass or country by someone other than Johnny Cash.

Whew.

Hear hear. I like to hear what the buzz is about, but more often than not, I come away feeling a bit perplexed as to what the big deal is. I even gave Antony a really good shot for a couple months, and I can see that it might appeal to a few people, but I'm with you - "choke down" is about the best way I have to describe sitting through it. Meanwhile, the amazing new Aimee Mann album goes virtually ignored . . . It appears to me that there's just as big of a problem with hype in indie-music circles as there is in mainstream music. It just seems more legit outside of the mainstream, I guess.


Or maybe jazz that was created after 1973. Especially stuff being created today. There's some killer stuff going on in jazz, and NO, none of it has anything to do with Norah Jones or Kenny G!

Haircut 100


Makes me wanna peg my pants, and prance around my room like a flamer. Fucking LOVE these guys. Pelican West is such a good album.

Fuck. I accidentally ignored this. I've been trying to skip out of work and hit the record store for two weeks, and now I've got more motivation.

Love Plus One is maybe one of my favourite songs of all time.

Robbie's "I've Been Expecting You" is an infectious album. I bought it in England after hearing it on the radio when it came out, and my friends were all like WTF??? Listened to it for weeks during that trip.

Excellent track, and an all-time fav of mine as well.

A few other of my favorite 80's tunes [i'm a sucker for this era]...

Heaven 17 - Temptation
Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered Dreams
Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
Til Tuesday - Voices Carry
Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind
Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days

yes, all of those, particularly Voices Carry. I love hearing old 80s songs, stuff that normally doesn't get played that often. That Johnny Hates Jazz song is great too. I haven't heard that in years. Same with Nu Shooz's I Can't Wait. My own personal favourite, and my number 1 for listmania 2, is 'Echo Beach', Martha and the Muffins.
