2. lets add Bang Tango, Faster Pussycat and Babylon AD
Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 06:56 PM by judaspriestess
to that list but I will strike Warrant out and they are not 80/90's metal

my guilty pleasures include: Prong, Slayer, Judas Priest, to name a few :)

80/90's metal: Mercyful Fate, Napalm Death, SOD, Slayer, Metal Church

I watched (bear with me)

Heavy Pettin, "Rock Ain't Dead" from the "Incident at Channel Q" soundtrack this weekend. The shame...I have trouble bearing it.

19. This Is Coming From The South and East
although the overall flow is west to east, the rotation around the low is forcing upslope winds which pile the snow on up here!;-)

That's always the pattern for the Quen City to get snow... has to come around and hit from the south.

Otherwise... zilch.

I was just going to reply to your post that I really liked the guitar work in that song.

I don't know if I've heard that song at all in more than thirty years. I'm sure the last time I really tried to listen to it, it was on a cheap little transistor radio...

Thanks for posting that :hug:

I was dating someone else when I met my S.O. - this us sort of appropriate for us.

111. He couldn't act worth a damn then but man, could he dance!
He really matured into a good actor, tho. I enjoy watching him work in films now.

Ah disco, I really loved to dance to disco. It was the best.

But for my favorite music, outside of classical, has to be bossa nova. I fell in love with that music when I went to Brazil in the early 60s. It was entrancing. Still is.

How can that song not make you happy? I also love Kirsty MacColl's "My Affair"

Lately I've been blasting the muppety music from Avenue Q - it probably frightens store clerks to hear the Amazon woman in the back of the line singing "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", "The Internet is for Porn" and "It Sucks to be Me"...

69. My confession:
I like the aforementioned Huey Lewis, Billy Joel, Phil Collins (with and without Genesis; I like both Gabriel and Collins Genesis), and late 70s/early 80s arena rock (by the likes of Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Foreigner, Kansas, Bad Company). There's some songs by Barry Manilow, George Michael and Wham, and Air Supply that I actually like as well. Let's face it; I'm a commercial pop music dork :P.

71. "What's New Pussycat?" sung by Tom Jones...
It's campy! It's cheesy! It's theatrical! But, it always makes me giggle and sing along, dramatically.

And it's 180 degrees from my usual fare.

74. I prefer "She's a Lady" or "You Can Leave Your Hat On"
My mom was a huge Tom Jones fan back in the day... think she still has most of her old vinyl.

77. I was too young to be a fan of his back in the day....
Edited on Thu Dec-21-06 03:20 AM by Zookeeper
He wasn't cool. And he was OLD. His rival at the time was Englebert Humperdink, who was just creepy. Tom Jones always seemed like he had a decent sense of humor about himself.

I don't think I've heard T.J.'s version of "You Can Leave Your Hat On," only the Randy Newman recording.
The other T.J. song I like is "Hard to Handle." 'Not sure if that's actually the title, though.

On edit for spelling. (That Humperdi*k could've gotten me deleted.)

His version of Prince's "Kiss" is awesome. Plus, he puts on a hell of a show!

you'd be the only person on the thread truly entitled to feel guilty.

93. In all seriousness, I think that is one of the best 'theme' albums to come out
of the rock/pop era.

It is my favorite CD of all time, beginning to end.

And the videos for this album are so 80's cheesy, they are lovable.

100. It's about love, dude.
All of the songs have to do with love.

Wishing for it.

Getting it.

Losing it.

Being sad about losing it.

Having your heart broken over it.



You've never noticed that?

Come to think of it, the theme may actually be Martin Fry's hairstyle.

88. Too much to mention
I've really started to love Louis Prima latelty, and I recently downloaded the Jungle Book soundtrack just to listen to him sing "I wanna be like you-oo-oo".

I love silly stuff, crooners, classical, jazz, pretty much anything that isn't cool, plus some cool stuff too.

90. It pains me so to admit this, but...
I actually enjoy some of Britney Spears' songs.

The OLD ONES, from the first 2 albums.

Please forgive me! :(

97. 50's-60's "Lounge"
a.k.a. "exotica" or "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music", especially the subgenres fearturing the Hammond organ, since I'm a Hammond player and freak. :)

I love the Ultra-Lounge series Capitol has out...it's hip, dadio! :D

Don't get me wrong, songs like "In my Dreams" make me ill, but stuff like "Lightning Strikes Again," "Tooth and Nail," and other harder ones are the only things left that I like about the 80's hair band era.

109. Tom Jones
A few years back, he started sounding good. Maybe because he was different from what I had been listening to. I tried a 12-step program but fell off the wagon due to secret ABBA listening. My life was ruined. Now I sit out on the street, begging for change to buy batteries for my walkman so I can listen to Tom Jones and ABBA.
