I like everything from Motley Crue (obviously :), Metallica, Def Leppard to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd to Johnny Cash to Bach to Duran Duran, Beastie Boys and Anita Baker. I have a great selection of songs from every genre of music on my iPod you'd be surprised.
I enjoy all kinds of music but because so many people love criticizing 80s hair bands I have to chime in and defend it. And I don't really care if I get slammed for liking them either it's par for the course on FR.
It seems just because I don't know every single Dylan, Young, Hendrix or Rolling Stones albums/songs I somehow lack taste in music.
I grew up in a different era of music and certainly wouldn't expect someone who grew up in the 60s to like what I did in the 80s (i.e. hair bands).
Did you check out my friend’s site?
I'm surfing through it right now. I like it. Is the song you played with him on his website?
I don’t believe they still are. I think he’s put up more current stuff. I played on three songs from the “Staring At The Sun” cd. I think a pic of my old Earnie Ball Albert Lee guitar is still on his “Equipment” page. I played slide guitar and steel guitar for him.
BTW, my opinion of Poison was just that, my own opinion. I was a huge Zappa fan, and Gawd knows, most people hated his music! So I’ve been disillusioned with pop music for a very long time. I currently work for a manufacturer of steel guitars, and restore old ones in my spare time. Musically, after 45 years of playing, I’ve gone back to my roots, and am playing slide guitar blues and boogie woogie.
In high school, my band was called “The Motley Odds!”
