Bands you shouldn't like, but like anyway...
my list:
Kiss AC/DC The Bangles (Susanna playing a Ric....mmmmmm!) America and the song "I'm Your Boogie Man" by KC&Sunshine Band (not sure why, maybe it's the horn section) |

ahh....Susanna Hoffs! My "first wife"!
Of course, she knows nothing about our love affair, but that's ok, I suppose... Let's see.... I adore the Good Rats.... I saw the Grateful Dead 199 times... I get a huge kick out of my old Allen Sherman records.... That's enough for now.....next? |

Bee Gees - 60's and early 70's stuff. I even like the odd post Sat Night Fever song too
 Neil Diamond - Just the Late 60's stuff.. not the "rhinestone & spangled shirt "era. I love tunes like "Shilo", "Cherry Cherry", "The Boat I Row", etc. Hawkwind - "Silver Machine" rocks! Bread -  Jan & Dean - I loved their records when I was a kid. Still do. Hal Blaine's drumming on "Deadman's Curve" is the bomb. and the one that none of my friends and bandmenbers can figure out... Van Der Graff Generator |

The Go-Go's.
Can't help it, I love 'em. Then again, I've had a crush on Belinda for around 20 years now.80's hair bands. Tesla, E'nuff Z'nuff, GnR, Badlands, Poison, you name it. I can't help it, I started gigging heavily in bands when all this stuff was the rage, and I covered it all back in the day. Complete with make-up and shiny pants. I still listen to it sometimes. Haven't played any of it in years, but sometimes I will pop a tape in, and drift off to rock-star land. Jake

These are guilty pleasures I guess you'd say:
Motley Crue (up through Shout at the Devil) Def Leppard (first 2 records only. never liked Pyromania and onward) G'n'R (up through Appetite only) Iron Maiden Weezer Southern Culture on the Skids (I find their bucket of chicken tune deplorable, but otherwise find them a fun live band) Turbonegro ( i shouldn't like them, but they're essentially one of my top 5 favorites) |

Glen Campbell
I couldn't understand why my dad liked him.
Years and years go by. I saw him perform on CMT...and he just blew me away. The guy is just a mistake free performance. Heck, I am thinking about buy some of his CD's.

The Left Banke (Walk Away Renee, Pretty Ballerina)
The Go-Gos (my crush was always Jane) Katrina and the Waves (I bought two of their albums and liked them both) I'm not too cool to admit to really liking Ringo I'm probably not supposed to like Jewel, but I do Is it still a political statement to love the Dixie Chicks? What if I still say 90125 (Yes) was one of the very best albums of the '80s? I probably shouldn't like solo Paul better than solo John, but I do. I'm still toying with buying a good Bangles compilation

NOT The Strawbs with Dave Cousins. Those are two VERY different things. Strawbs were English folkies who went prog-rock. They're still around in one form or another. |

The self-titled Katrina and the Waves album was the first I got, and I agree - it's really good. Most of it would still hold up.
The follow-up (with Is That It) was equally good. But I guess the oddest thing in my CD collection is my weird little obsession with Brak, Space Ghost and Zorak. I have all their CDs and laugh like a fool when I listen to them!

Re: Firefall
Come on...Given the time in which they appeared, Jock could wail...and the acoustic stuff contrasted with a cranked, overdriven Les Paul/Marshall combo was a recipe for good, guitar driven ROCK. I saw them in Birmingham, Alabama on New Years Eve 1980 opening up for Marshall Tucker. They were GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, whatever happened to actually singing? You know...people singing...harmonizing...something completely analog...
Eileen, BTW, with whom I was visiting that holiday season, you can kiss my ass, you Southern beotch! But I regress... How about Pablo Cruse? Their stuff ROCKED, given the time in which they were prevelant. The Place in the Sun album was great! All of Rock has to be evaluated in the time in which it is introduced. Otherwise, it is all alien.

I was expecting to be bored by yet another self-indulgent shredder, but he entertained me. I think it was the sight gags that won me over, he is whimsical and good natured on stage despite being a very disturbed and introverted individual. By the way, on tour he never goes out of character. The mask and the hooded warmup stay on all the time. He had the mask on when he got out of the van. |

Psychedelic Furs
Cinderella UB40 I always have to stick up for Cinderella. They were my first concert. I was 14 and they were the headliners. Tangear(spelling?) and White lion went on first and both SUCKED but Cinderella was great rock n roll. |

Guilty pleasures.....
....as someone else mentioned, I like some of the Go-Gos stuff, as well as the Bangles.
I'm sure rap's not real popular around here, but I like some of it. I like playing my guitar to some of it because a lot of it has very infectious grooves. Playing along with Dr Dre's "California Love" and House of Pain's "Jump Around" is a lot of fun. -Eric

The continuation....
There've been some other's mentioned in this thread that I left out.
The Bangles (someone mentioned Susanna Hoffs and her Ric......she could've played a washboard and I'd have still been wiping the drool off my chin) Herman's Hermits Jan and Dean and although I don't own any of his cd's........ if Wayne Newton comes on tv then you might as well cancel whatever plans I had. Sinatra (see Wayne Newton desc.) Sammy Davis Jr. (same as Wayne Newton) Elvis (I don't care what period of his career) A side note on Jan and Dean. I loved J and D long before I saw them live. It was around 87 or so when I saw them. They were 2 of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. They were both floored that someone my age, and my brother (7 yrs younger), were so into their music. Dean asked if I was coming to any of the other shows and I replied that I wasn't. He told me that I was coming back if I wanted to, and to bring any and all albums I had if I wanted them signed. They gave me free tickets to the next 2 shows and invited myself and my whole family to supper the following evening. Ya know, after reading back through some of my choices.....I think I long to be a Vegas lounge act more than a "Nashville Star" or a "Rock Star".
