Re: [bomp] Re: Music we should be ashamed of liking, but aren't.




Oh, I am also a reformed dirt-rawker from way back, yeah! Priest, Saxon, AC/DC...wait, I'm sayin' like those are bad groups...I love 'em, just don't listen to 'em. It was great on Stern a few weeks ago with re-run where AC/DC came in and did acoustic numbers I had forgotten all about.
The AC/DC film with Bon Scott is a lot of teenage burnout fun,too!

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.

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.
