        Wait, you don’t like Queen? Unfriended!

        I kid, I kid. But Queen was awesome.

        I became a Rush fan in HS and stayed one since.

          I don’t know what it is with Queen, but I don’t really enjoy listening to their music for fun and pleasure. Strange, but that’s me.

            Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about me.

      Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More

        1, Hole: for some reason everyone was crazy about Hole and I just couldn’t get into it.
        Their 1st Disk: Pretty on the Inside: was just awful even thought it was produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (a band I love)
        And then the 2nd Disk: Live Though This: Came out and everyone went crazy for that, and I still didn’t like the band.

          I would side with you regarding Hole and Boston. While I always liked Boston, I think I took Brad Delp’s voice for granted and didn’t even realize how good his vocals were on those classic albums until many years later. Now, Longtime is playing in my head. That was huge when I was a kid, and I loved it and still do. I suppose this is driving me to…Read More

      Total egomaniac with obvious anger management issues. Having worked as a drummer as a hired gun a lot, I’m familiar with working for ill tempered egomaniacs and have witnessed prima donna singers explode and throw a punch on stage, although never at me. I did read an article about the incident– and it was one of several with the singer raging at…Read More

      tell me how many songs you can name with a placenta reference in it?
      I’m shocked Alice Cooper didn’t come up with that🤪
      Live is an awesome band Throwing Copper rocks.
      Stone Temple Pilots are one of my favorite bands, Interstate Love Song rules, too bad about Weiland.
      Soul Asylum was pretty cool, Somebody to Shove was an okay song.🤘

        I did look up the bands and none of them have the original members. Live is only the original lead singer of the band, who doesn’t get along with his former bandmates, so he sued, is using the band name, and has a bunch of different musicians. Soul Asylum is also only the lead singer. STP the original musicians with a different lead singer who…Read More

        The lead singer (Ed?) had introduced a song he wrote about York — and I do love the York Peppermint Patty, which I learned from him is made in the town, or at least the company was founded there — although the lyrics for that song were pretty much Spinal Tap territory. I take it the song isn’t very appreciated there. I suppose I could name the…Read More

          York Peppermint Patties were made in York, until Peter Paul, and then Hershey bought them. As a kid I used to walk to the factory from my grandmother’s house and buy factory seconds. Still love them.

          And yea I recall “Sh-t Towne”, I will say York has come a long way since then, but the eighties it was going downhill.
