Re: [bomp] Re: Music we should be ashamed of liking, but aren't.
It isn't that I don't embrace new stuff and remixes of old songs. I was
listening to the remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation today at work. I love
that. I'll probably draw some jeers from the board on that one, but I really
dug it.
the remix of rubber neckin is fun too...todd

Mine too (but not Molly Hatchet). Alice Cooper was the first LP I ever
listened to both sides of. Foghat was a big part of my formative years.
Throw in Blue Oyster Cult, early Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Kiss, AC/DC,
Rainbow, early Scorps, Ted Nugent and you get the idea. I still listen
to a lot of that stuff. I'm not ashamed nor embarrassed.
My brother left his Cooper and Tull 8 tracks behind when he went into the
Air Force in 1975. I remember about three years later I was still listening to
that stuff and my neighborhood friends were referring to Alice as a fag.
Meanwhile, they were listening to the Village People, It was the beginning of a 3
decade struggle that continues to this day as many of my peers can't grasp
the concept of me being a record collector and a fan of stuff that isn't in the
Top 40.
All those bands you mentioned above were bands that I was and am still a fan
of. Those bands were called heavy metal back then. Maybe they're more along
the lines of hard rock.
