Shawn could make case for almost all those bands/artist. I am fan of Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, and Ryan Adams to name three off your lists.

Ryan Adams is shagging Mandy Moore! Lucky bastard....

Listen to what you like, ignore the rest.

Exactly.

If I don't otherwise admit listening to it, why would I do so here?

Because if you don't, we'll hurt you in places you didn't know existed.

I like 70's disco. I grew up listening to 70's rock but also I got caught up in the disco movement a bit around 11 or 12. So even though I cant dance and wont dance, I still like some of the songs from that era.

also,

Shawn Of Fire, you'd be proud. Today at work I played from my Ipod "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" not once but twice. such a great song.

Is this sorta like a twelve step meeting?

I admit listening to the Fraggle Rock soundtrack.

How do I get better?

Debbie Gibson...Kelly Clarkson...LOL!

Nah, just playing. I liked that hit single Debbie Gibson had back in the 80's, and would probably blast the volume up again if I ever listen to that song on the radio. As for Kelly Clarkson, lol.

As for bands to which I lower the volume whenever I get to a stop sign, or red light, in shame of other people seeing me(shouldn't care, I know): Eddie Money, .38 Special, Bon Jovi, Rick Springfield and many more.

agreed. their stuff still sounds heavy to me too.

Queen is either a full-on 'mo' band, or a hard rock/metal organization. All depends on a brother's perspective. There's enough evidence for both arguements.

What I did back in the day, and I still got the thing, is extract all the heaviest tunes from their catalog and put those suckers on a cassette, to play at opportune moments.

When they heard it, brothers be like, 'Whoah, son, I thought Queen was a full-on 'mo' band, and here ya got all these jams which point to a totally different conclusion. Brother might havta evaluate what a brother be thinkin' 'bout this group of formerly full-on mos.

Marc, can we stop using the term 'mo' please?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, bro. I just heard that term for the first time on this week's 'My Name Is Earl', and thought it was funny. But, then again, anything emanating from the mouth of Randy is hilarious. Ya'll need be watching back episodes over there at NBC. Funny things, yo.

I listen to everything between HARD AOR and BLACK METAL thats why i dont have to feel ashamed

Well this isn't stuff I wouldn't admit to (I'm admitting here). But I don't force my guests to listen to it on their time either.

Michael Bolton- s/t (or Blackjack etc.)
The Osmonds- Crazy Horses
Roger Whittaker- Hits
Henry Gross- Plug Me In (pretty good actually)

and all that Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballett and DePeche Mode I like pretty uniformily. But it seem many of us here do also.

Still doesn't get away from the fact he's vastly inferior to his influences.....no matter what Spin magazine tells you.

I must say, JEFF BUCKLEY was a fantastic talent....that voice.

Gawd!!!


Now I need to fig that out.

Yup...My absolute fave BUCKLEY track is "Morning Theft"

Tragic about him..
