You gotta be Shitting me.......

I was running through a listing of the 100 top rock bands and 100 top guitarists of all time. It occurred to me that there are some bands/artists that I really should like but don't and a few bands that I am embarrassed to say I like better than some classics. So here they are:

Top 5 bands/artists that I should like but don't really care for:

  1. The Who - not sure why but I just can't get into this legendary band. I like some tunes but get bored with them after about 5 minutes.
  2. Aerosmith - I can listen to the hits (at least some of them) but after that I find most of it unlistenable
  3. Yes - What can I say, just don't dig them.
  4. Stevie Ray Vaughn - Great guitar player, but it just all sounds the same to me.
  5. Eric Clapton - Cream or Solo, I know blasphemy because as it was once said, "Clapton is God." Yarbirds? Maybe Beck or Page.

Top 5 Bands that I'm Embarrased to say I dig:

  1. Great White - Talk about Vanilla. After you get past "Rock Me" there isn't much substance here. I think I have 5 of their disks (did they have that many) and when I hear one of there songs I always turn it up.
  2. Cinderella - Hair Metal at its worst. Shake Me, Save Me what the hell was Bon Jovi thinking when he discovered these guys. Another band I like to play at high volume.
  3. White Snake - Really the only redeeming thing about this band was Tawny Katane (or however you spell it). Some great musicians went through this band, John Sykes, Steve Vai, Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campbell but still I can't figure out why I dig this band.
  4. Damn Yankees - Uggh, nuff said there. Tommy Shaw and Nuge.
  5. Stryper - yes, that Stryper, the Christian Rockers from the 80's. Oz Fox and Michael Sweet. Very few women can sing higher than Sweet, but I like'em anyway.

I agree with:
The Who...I guess I'm just missing something here.
Aerosmith...Again, I'm missing something.
Stevie Ray Vaughn...must see live to enjoy, not going to happen now.
Clapton: I respect his work.
Yes...Great live, suck otherwise.

Great White...Love this band. They are so much fun live.
Cinderella...I like this band.
Whitesnake...early version is the best.
Damn Yankees...I missed this one completely.
Stryper...Missed this one too.

I expected Duran Duran to be at the top of your "I'm embarased list."

Whitesnake? Are they the ones with the husband beater Tawny Kittaen flopping around on fast cars? How much does that video scream "We're compensating for small penises."

WC: "Great White is fun live." Unless the place starts on fire and a bunch of people die.

Duran Duran falls into the Category of one of those bands that I can listen to their hits, but not much else. I have no Duran Duran in my collection so they couldn't make the list.
