No, that would be the "boy band."

Mash here to find out about purchasing this music.

[trisham]

No, that would be the "boy band."

***********

I forgot about those, thankfully.

[RockinRight]

Gotta love The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar!

Big-time Republican too.

[BigSkyFreeper]

No, that would be the "boy band."

Ew! LOL!

Put (c)rap in that list ("Old Skool" is ok though), and throw hip-hop in there too.

[RockinRight]

Warrant's "I Saw Red" deserves a place on this list, as well.

[RockinRight]

Yeah, some old school rap is cool, like Run-DMC and Tone-Loc. I even like that Sir Mix-A-Lot song "Baby Got Back." After that, it just got crappy.

[MikefromOhio]

Staind's ONE good song is on there....

And it isn't a bad song either.

I don't know about Nickelback though. But my wife, for some unknown reason, thinks the leader singer guy is cute.

KISS's Beth should be #1 IMO....

[StarCMC]

Sammy so rocks. I'm one of those who loves Sammy and loves Van Halen, but I wasn't fond of the mix.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Dunno how I survived the "boy bands", but I did, and got paid to play that stuff too. Everytime some 12-year old called me up on the request line and wanted to hear some New Kids On The Block, I wanted to pierce my ears with an ice pick. LOL

*************

You bet. Also, the Celine, Christina, Mariah, Beyonce style of "music". Dreadful.

[Loud Mime]

I've probably not heard 1/3 of the songs on this list. ;o)

Those were songs? Where was Sinatra?

[RockinRight]

One reason I could never be a DJ...I'd get too annoyed having to play songs I hate...

[RockinRight]

Same here. VH was far better with Roth. Hagar is much better as a soloist.

VOA was a great album, so was Three Lock Box.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Run-DMC and Tone Loc were by far my favorites. 2 Live Crew's "Banned In The USA" (sung to the tune of The Boss' "Born In The USA", the Boss himself sang "Banned In The USA" in that tune) was pretty good too.

I agree with you though, after Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" that genre went downhill.

[rintense]

Alone by Heart is ten times better than These Dreams.

[RockinRight]

I agree. The piano in that song is great.

[StarCMC]

Last one -- gotta go make dinner!

I agree with your number two. Incredible voice and even better hair!
