Reviving a post
 

I'm listening to Extreme's "3 sides to Every Story". Like them or not, the musicianship is top-notch. I have their sophmoric first record, but Pornografitti, this one, and Waiting For The Punchline kick some serious ass. It's too bad Cherone had to join Van Helpless. A certain career-killer.

I've also seen them twice, and they were awesome.

My ears hurt!!!!!
 

Wading through my Vinyl collection yesterday I found "Scum" and "The Peel Sessions" by Napalm Death.

What state of mind was I in when I got those for Christ's sake????

30 second songs and ear bashing guitars.........ye Gods!!!!

Back to the Barry Manilow I think. :o

That's not funny.

What's wrong with Bazza????
 

You don't like Barry Manilow??

Re: What's wrong with Bazza????
 

YOU DO?!!:eek:

Mr. Waye and Mr. Manilow
 

I'm not sure if it's this post, but our English friend has indeed professed his affection for Doris Day and and Big-nose Barry.

So what if I'm...
 

"Sportin' a woody" for Doris (but not for Bazza!!!!)

Wow. You like Barry Manilow.




Oh well, I like Roxette:rolleyes:

Resurrection............
 

I won't tell you what pdj just admitted in the shout box...........:D but:

I think ABC were a classic of their era.

And I still enjoy a bit of 70s disco from time to time...mainly at weddings. Yes, I'm that embarrasing uncle who dances.:rolleyes:

Favorite bands not on Aural moon
 

in no order:

Chicago
XTC
Iron Maiden
Indigo Girls
Smithereens
Led Zeppelin
The Who
Budgie
Judas Priest
King's X
Tool
Thin Lizzy

I listen to these as much as prog. But I admit, there are more prog band that are great than rock bands.

Damning evidence

Throw away the key!

I don't think many of Rick's are embarrassing - just not prog. Okay, Judas Priest maybe. But, my brother, who you'll meet at Nearfest if you meet me, once dated a girl whose license plate was: jd prst. I am not making this up.... So if she was good enough for him (it was a serious relationship), I'm not going to abuse Rick over Judas Priest too much...

Anyway, what Keith was too polite to say - I admitted to liking some Duran Duran.

anyone else? c'mon now, don 't be shy....

A good friend of mine recently said "I just like what I like".

I have to admit I'm as much a folky as a proggy and get very excited when the two genres come together.

David Crosby's newish band, CPR, is wonderful. The talented keyboardist is James Raymond. There's a story behind it all.. David gave him up for adoption at birth and it wasn't until James was 36 or so that they met up again...on Croz' supposed deathbed. But Croz survived!..and they went on to form CPR and make music together. But I digress...

Love music sung by schoolboy choirs, which I guess is why Druid and Sigur Ros appeal so much.

More guilt.....
 

I've just got back from seeing "Anything goes" a musical based on the songs of Cole Porter. I have to admit I was entranced.

"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delovely." :o

:p

that's not bad Keithie. Cole Porter isn't exactly my cup of tea, but he was a genius at writing show tunes...

so much guilt, so much fun
 

i'll have to give this another read...after i stop laughing...yes i like:

barry manilow
chicago(why would that be embarassing?)
ohio players, smokey,
(not Roger though:eek:)
funkadelics
most r&b groups of 70s & some yes i dare say it DISCO (though i'd never buy it—i like to dance what can i say)
mike jackson & sister janet (who best to dance to)
someone said the eagles (i like 'em)
frank senatra
louis armstrong
de bussy

must purge myself...this was so much fun...and very entertaining...

and hey keith...i LOVE cole porter...nite & day sends me!


:cool:

Night and Day was covered by one of my guilty pleasures...Sergio Mendez and Brasil 66. To this day, it's one of my faves. Didn't realize it was a Cole Porter song.

still king
 

No one has yet come close to my adoration of Roxette (except for those people who like Manilow... sheesh...).

some others
 

Juliana Hatfield, Jill Sobule, Ambrosia's radio hits, I still have a few up my sleeve...

A few more I've rediscovered this weekend...
 

Gene Pitney
Matt Monro
Robert Goulet
Mel Torme
KC and the Sunshine Band
and Kool and the Gang.

Certainly got my dancing shoes on with KC.......

"Girl, I love you so.
I want you to know.
That I'm gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out the door......

Please don't go, don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go, don't go
I'm begging you to stay"
