Bands/Artists we can all (except LAGR) agree on

[Chip Z'Hoy]

LAGlam exempt not because he's not a valued member of the community but because he cannot be contained and doesn't play by rules created by man nor God.

Cheap Trick, right? Everybody loves Cheap Trick.

It is my belief that EVERYBODY (as in, non-Sludge people) loves Queen.

What about Corrosion of Conformity? We all love C.O.C., right? The Pepper thread made me "Know what? Everyone loves C.O.C."

I think someone here once said they don't like Judas Priest. They might still be here so I can't say Judas Priest. Otherwise I would say Judas Priest.

Hopefully they got run over by a bus or thrown into a river.

[Mojo]

Cheap Trick, right? Everybody loves Cheap Trick.

I've seen them live five times and never once by choice. They were actually the first band I ever saw live, as they were opening for Alice Cooper, my first concert. They've always been that band in the way of the band I actually wanted to see, and as such, I unfairly dislike them.

[Hellsinkey]

I'd actually like to see Cheap Trick, they were going to play here in 1997, but cancelled the whole tour.

ALICE COOPER! The band, not the man.

We all agree on Alice Cooper.

My first COC was Pepper era hit "Clean my Wounds." Strippers-- no, just people, like Pantera fans and whatnot-- I talked to at the time said it was sellout. They were Done with COC. None of those cats here?

I've known a few Cheap Trick diehards, but many on here seem to disown them. "I Want You to Want Me" (even the studio version) kinda solidified these guys for me. That and Fast Times...

Alice Cooper, same. Me? I don't love all his stuff, but I recognize his power as a significant artist.

What about LA Guns? Everyone loves at least one version, right? (except maybe bonoN...) No?

I mean, if the world can't agree that Rolling Stones and The Beatles are both great... where can we go?


Oh yeah. I'm thinking Saxon. Saxon? Accept? No?


Billy Squier!

The Cars and Hall and Oats seem to get tons of love around here.

I loathed Cheap Trick for years before I heard their music, based solely on photos of that stupid, gurning twat of a guitarist. I hate "zany" with a passion. Then I bought from a bargain bin that album with The Flame because I liked that song at the time (I was young, I didn't know any better), but played it maybe twice. Their 2 or 3 big hits are good but everything else I've heard (several albums-worth now) is just "meh". And Nielsen is still a punchable twat.

[HueyRamone]

I would post that Cheap Trick do nothing for me, but periplo were so cruel to me after I opined on Young Lust, that I think I’ll just stay out of it.

At the time, I would have agreed.

It was somewhat like Pantera, actually. A few albums in, they changed directions. They've mostly ignored the early stuff since. The difference was, early Pantera had no fans.

I haven't played much since Deliverance though, despite everything having great reviews.

[tooth]

I don't get Hall & Oates, other than the song "Out of Touch", which is meh. Tears for Fears opened up for them & I left the second TFF was finished.

[DevastatinDave]

I am a Cheap Trick diehard and proud of it. That doesn’t mean I love everything they do, but there’s a ton of great material.

[Mojo]

I hate "zany" with a passion.

How do you feel about madcap?

[GreatWhiteSnake]

If you think you don't like Cheap Trick check out the 97 self-titled Red Ant record. It's a bit of a step out of the norm for them. A little darker and heavier in spots.
The song,"If I Had a Child" is especially beautiful and meaningful to me as my daughter was born that year...

[Mojo]

So I've never been impressed with Cheap Trick but also totally admit that I never gave them a real chance, do to my previously-stated bias. I listened to their greatest hits during my workout today and I like quite a bit of it. Nothing that really blows away their labelmates or anything, but it's decent rock n' roll.

[BDG135]

I don't love Cheap Trick. Never purchased any of their stuff and have no strong feelings about them. I like Queen. Bought 3 of their albums. That is not love.

Great album.
The song you are referring to is "Shelter".

ZZ Top is a band where I can't turn the dial fast enough when one of their mediocre overplayed shit songs comes on the radio.
Shit>ZZ Top

[SterileEyes1]

Oh dear now I’ve done it.

[Mojo]

Foo Fighters. Everybody and especially Wild Obsession absolutely loves the Foo Fighters.

[LAglamrocker]

What about Tool?
They have song called Prison Sex

You were right. YL is a half-assed Toys/Rats rewrite.

Dumbass is serving lingonberries with sweet pancakes.
This is how it's done in Sweden:
Lingonberries with meatballs, porridge or on toast.
Pancakes with strawberry or blueberry jam. Whipped cream optional.

Of course there are some hipsters who would put lingonberries in cheesecake or something, but that's just a little less Swedish than moose sushi.
