Why, so he can bump into you?

It's always nice to have company.

Did you know that Jeff's favourite album is by Boyz II Men? Now, they were really great. :puke:

Actually, I'd never heard of them, but one look at the website (I blame you for that), and I can tell exactly what they sound like.

Oh yes, blame the cup ... I can't imagine it was too difficult to click your Home button

I really like Razorlight.

Hey UK Skins Fan, are these guys real popular over there?

SkinsFreak · Post by **SkinsFreak** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:52 pm

BTW - For those who may be unfamiliar with Razorlight, check em' out. They are pretty cool with a very unique sound.

Gang of Four. That's all I have to say.

Yes, they are popular, for sure. Don't get much of a look in on a lot of radio stations, but very few bands with guitars do. Some think that it's a contest between them and Muse for the role of "next big thing" from these shores.

Oh, is Razorlight a 2nd generation Radiohead band too?

Jokes aside, perhaps I should check them out, as I also happen to like Muse.

Difficult for me to say, since I never managed to listen to more than 7 seconds of Radiohead without trying to beat myself to death with the nearest kitchen utensil.

I once read a review of a Muse concert that described them as being reminiscent of Queen. Work that one out.

You're supposed to be naming bands that you wouldn't tell your friends that you like. :roll:

When you're in the business I'm in (highway construction-recently, supervison) and you're surrounded by iPods blasting the latest guy to take a bullet in the butt and call himself "streetsmart" and others who range from mid-eighties metalheads (like I used to be) to some real aggressive people who think disco died unfairly (I do not)...some things, you keep your John Denver stuff to yourself. It's a professional decision. My kids know that my beginnings on the guitar are rooted firmly in what I grew up around, but my co-workers and "friends" do not.
Barry Manilow was mentioned, and I have no specific problems with him. I can listen to him, but I don't own anything, and I don't sing along. There's no denying the man can push a note...it's just not my thing. I also grew up around the BeeGees music, as my parents were mainly flower children.
I can go word for word on Harry Chapin, too.
I guess the older I get (38, now), the less I care about what other people think about what I like...which turns out to be more and more what I grew up on.
Weird, huh?
I'm sorry if my entry into the topic wasn't the soul-baring, all-cards-on-the-table "Oh MY GOD! Captain & Tenille and the Village People! Please don't tell on me!" that you were looking for. I'm a generally boring person to begin with.

You want excitement around here, you reach for the cup. Dig?

That's a really frightening thought. Gangs of hooligans wearing flared hipsters, chest wigs and knuckle dusters.

Swiftly back to topic - I think there may be an age factor here. As I get older, I care less and less about what others think of my tastes, hobbies and interests. So, is there any music I like that I wouldn't tell my friends about? No, I really don't think so - ten years ago, the answer migh have been different.

I can understand that! I wasn't really thinking of co-workers, but more my old college buddies. I'm a few years older than you, and I love Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, and like some of John Denver's older material. I have hugely varied tastes, ranging from classical, to bluegrass, to folk, to jazz, to rock, to old country, to reggae, to zydeco... I just thought the thread's purpose was to get at that Captain & Tenille, Starland Vocal Band, Donnie and Marie type stuff that would make you the object of ridicule for years to come, were anyone to find out. :lol:

tcwest10 · Post by **tcwest10** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 8:35 am

Until "Ron Burgundy" came out, I'm pretty sure Starlight Vocal Band was comfortably forgotten.
Believe me...when you have to try to explain how people found appeal in "Afternoon Delight" to a querying 15 year old, you have your work cut out for you.

Not quite that aggressive. ROTFALMAO

Let me tell you something, though. I have a guy on my day crew. 39 or so, Latin ethnicity. Bare-knuckles, no-nonsense type...the guy who will wait by your car after work hours to settle some disagreement that you'd already forgotten about...his way. Not a guy to tangle with, to be sure.
We've always gotten along, from the days when I was his co-worker...and I've always known and kept his little secret.
Donna flippin' Summers! He's a huge fan of hers, and of disco in general.
(He's also known to be encyclopaedic in his knowledge of 70's television show themes. Sadly, there's no help for him.)
