Impossible, up here. Steven King owns and operates the best rock station around, but there are no outlets for the good stuff from the 60's and 70's. It's pretty much bland crap laced with commercials.ThomasT said:

I'm sorry, but that is some of the worst of the worst (even if it is their "best"). Go back to Cream, Buffalo Springfield,Byrds, Blind Faith, and see if you can't find some head-turning music that didn't involve wearing outrageous costumes/makeup. Kiss never kicked any serious butt, IMO. Want a serious rock band? Maybe go back to AC/DC when Bon Scott was still alive. Their only concession to the populace was Angus' dressing in his school uniform for performances (his sister's idea).daveb said:

I listened to this one on YouTube and I must say that I don't think it's necessarily over-produced. It's sort of catchy, the musicianship is top level, and overall I liked it better than, say, the recently posted Detroit Rock City by Kiss. But I wouldn't buy it or bother to download it free from the internet, or even listen to it again.lisab said:

I was being a bit sarcastic. I remember cheating on an old girlfriend (who found out via our nosey neighbor). The next day she suddenly started hitting me. So, I explained that, according to mouse experiments, it might be inferred that male mammals are creatures of lust particularly susceptible to varietal stimuli. To which she replied (somewhat sarcastically), "Oh, I never thought of it THAT WAY before!" And then proceeded to hit me some more. Anyway, I certainly learned my lesson, and was, in the future, much more careful when cheating.turbo said:
The "I whip my hair back and forth" sections are almost Yoko Onoish. Extremely annoying. But the other parts aren't all that bad, imho. And the ending was quite humorous.burklegirl said:
Listen to some Yoko Ono stuff.burklegirl said:

Just watched it. He's doing it as Neil Young. Not bad. And then Bruce Springsteen comes on.burklegirl said:

Ok. I was just kidding about being banned for grammatical, phraseological, or typographical errors, by the way. Banning is usually the result of profanity, unduly speculative assertions, conspiracy theories, and statements against Israel. As long as you don't do any of that, then you should be ok. But of course it depends on which moderators are on duty and their current emotional disposition.burklegirl said:I didn't even notice that I made that sort of typo, opps!
I'm usually quite stern with my grammar. Thank you for letting me know about that! I just joined a little bit ago, so I'm still getting the gist of things.

My brain began to noticeably lag in the early 80's (wrt the date, not my age), and, as far as I can tell, hasn't caught up yet.burklegirl said:
Yeah, those are really bad. At first I thought we might be dealing with anti-Star Trek bias (which, by the way, is not tolerated at PF), but on listening I would have to say that they're way down there. Yoko Ono level? No. But definitely annoying.checkitagain said:

Definitely a keeper.Yeah, et al. The stuff is good in a certain sense I suppose. They're talented singers, but the stuff is just so formulaic ... ish. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm a musician and really don't like most vocal music. Some I do like. But it's got to be musically interesting as well as really well sung.daveb said:
