77. Read this

http://www.chicagoreader.com/hitsville/pander.html

Scroll down about 1/3 of the way down, to the letter titled "Three Pandering Sluts and Their Music-Press Stooge". Read it and all will become clear to you, my son.

61. Can't be done.

Well, we might be able to avoid actual flame wars, but one band / musician we can all agree on? Impossible.

Can't be done with movies or TV, either. Just try.

[mvd]

63. Agreed

Music's too subjective. The way it affects emotions, there may be even less agreement than with TV or movies.

[ghostsofgiants]

67. Not only CAN'T it be done but it SHOULDN'T be done.

I've never met anybody that doesn't like him.

[Z_I_Peevey]

82. Delbert McClinton n/t

[TZ]

83. OOh. He's awesome.

I also love Leroy Parnell.....

[nickgutierrez]

84. Tom Jones? We all think he's awful, right? n/t

[hyphenate]

87. I never liked Tom Jones

His musical range is minimal, and he makes up for it by strutting around and shouting into a mike.

OTOH, Engelbert Humperdinck still sounds good to me. :)

[NoGOPZone]

85. Laura Branigan

:hide:

[hyphenate]

86. I don't listen to a lot of music for the most part

but I do have some favorite bands, mostly from the past. Now, I don't know what objections people might have, but I can name oh, four bands which I like that can't possibly be controversial. If they are, or any one of them, please let me hear it. I'm interested in knowing why they're objectionable.

Alan Parsons Project

Ambrosia

Association

Walker Brothers



I will also toss in Moody Blues and the Eagles.

[Earth_First]

90. The Grateful Dead

:rofl:
