Bands And Albums.

Badadadah-dah-dah-dah FEELIN' GROOVY!

The Monkees

The Waterboys

Randy Newman

Gawd all my taste is in my mouth!

My guilty pleasures:

Ambrosia - (they've got some progressive stuff - "Life Beyond L.A.")
Gene Loves Jezebel - (underrated guitarist)
"Weird Al" - (hell I'm "White and Nerdy")
Neil Diamond - (except for his lame "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" crap. The dude can rock though)

(I've got a wide range of influences. Back in the 80's, I was a fan of Love and Rockets, Duran Duran (John Taylor, great bass player); and the hair bands: Lillian Axe, TNT, Stryper)

"if i could walk five hundered miles then i could walk five hundred more"

Aside from an overwhelming amount of J-pop (Utada Hikaru ), I think my guilty pleasure (especially among this group of individuals) would be my love for good electronica (e.g. Meat Beat Manifesto, Orbital, Crystal Method, etc.)

How soon is now - The Smiths

Fascination street/ Burn- The Cure

I dug at least SOME of the music of all the acts mentioned. (with the exception of Air Supply)

I break away from my own norm by being a big fan of, since the 60's, of The Incredible String Band, Osibisa, and The Kenny Clark-Francey Boland Big Band.

I've come to love the works of Holst, Debussy and Vaughn-Williams

For the last year or so, I've become enraptured by the songs and style of Jeska Hoop.

C'mon, Howlin'-You mean you're "All out of Love" for Air Supply? I'll bet if you tried, you could be "Making love out of nothing at all" for that bizzaro world anti AC/DC Aussie band.

I hate myself sometimes...

Is there a band or performer that you are really into, but kind of embarrassed to tell anyone? Or maybe it's just someone that you consider to have a lot of influence upon you, although that might not be immediately obvious to anyone...

Y'know, like some of you metal guys being enormous AIR SUPPLY fans?

I am a fan of the Osmonds

"And they called it puppy love"

Oh yeah....

. . . the fresh Blueberry I'm tokin' on . . . so good it makes me dizzy . . . sorry Y'all . . . I'm guilty !

Tony Orlando And Dawn, The Carepenters. There I said it I feel better now

I looooove Karen carpenter.

Yes she was very talented I was watching an old youtube video of her she was playing the drums. they had a bunch of different percusive instruments out for her to play timbales, congas, tablas,bongos, and a regular kit, the girl could rock man. (aside from the smoothness of her wonderful voice) what a loss, anorexia nervosa got her. It just goes to show you we have all got our demons.

Indeed we do. It is sad.

Thank gawd for the man who put it in my hood
