If only I had to admit owning anything with the Bee Gee’s. I had the audacity and incredibly poor taste to buy their bastardization of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Oh, the shame.
However, I’ll have to say that Earth, Wind and Fire’s cover of “Got To Get You Into My Life” wasn’t half-bad. Their horn section was smokin’.

You know, you misspelled Chaka’s name. With your spelling, she’s now Jewish. It’s Khan, not Kahn.

Where to begin? I still love Air Supply, so you know the skeletons in my musical closet are many. Highlights include:
The Bay City Rollers
Menudo – Ohh Ricky!!!!
Billy Ocean
I guess I just had a thing for the non-threatening boys who sang love songs.

Wow, I didn’t think anyone else listened to “Balls to the Wall”… That’s #17 in my MP3 playlist here at work. Damn, now it’s stuck in my head and I can’t find my headphones.

Damn, this is a psychologically liberating experience.
Last night, I listened to “Balls To The Wall” by Accept. Check out this picture of the band:

Either the rest of the band is kneeling or Udo is standing on a milk crate AND HE STILL LOOKS TINY! Hair metal and midgets, together at last!

I would humbly submit, that this record of past musical discrepancies (which I share) is less offensive than my attendance at a recent Air Supply concert. Thank you Mohegan Sun for taking my wallet and my pride. Somehow “my wife made me go” falls flat when its the 4th time you’ve scene the Australian pop-uberstars of the early 80′s. If anyone sees a backbone on E-Bay, please let me know.

Anthrax really peaked with Attack of the Killer B’s. After that, it was all downhill into their “Will Do White-Boy Rap For Food” period. Maybe I can give them some credit for Volume 8: The Threat Is Real. Born Again Idiot is an amazing song…

I’ve put a little more thought into this, since many of the bands that have been mentioned here still aren’t bad by my standards (you’ve reminded me I need to go replace my lost copy of Queensyrche Empire, for example). But here are two selections (with AMAZON clips!) where I think I really did go too far:
Savatage: Hall of the Mountain King

Anthrax: State of Euphoria

As a multi-album owner of bands such as Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and of course Dokken, I have way too many “accidents” to admit to. I did go through this awkward speed metal phase that included Armored Saint and Exodus – didn’t really suit the rest of my uber-dorky persona.

Ugh, you guys are all sick!
Except for Tatu. I can appreciate that.

I confess to buying “The Very BEAST [sic] of Dio”.
LAST MONTH. There’s no shame, as long as no one else sees me with it

Regretably, I have two words for you:

Vanilli
Tragically, and without even some limp excuse such as, “I liked to dance,” the first compact disc I ever purchased.

The Bee Gees. I was ten, and listened to the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack obsessively.
Then “Who Are You” came out, and everything was fine until a year ago when I found the Russian-language versions of Tatu’s songs.

Frampton. Peter Frampton. The record that came out after ‘Frampton Comes Alive.’ I don’t recall the title, but he was somewhat (hairlessly?) bare-chested on the cover.
This is what happens to a girl when her older brothers finally leave the house to go to college and leave her alone to fend for herself, musically.

Thriller is one of the greatest albums ever ever ever. How dare you besmirch its name. Eddie Van Halen soloed on “Beat It,” and didn’t take a penny in payment for it! The video! Gaah!
Although “The Girl Is Mine” nearly ruins it entirely. I’ll pretend that you’re just disparaging a 45 of “The Girl Is Mine,” and I’ll feel better.

Unfortunately, it was Thriller.
Fortunately, I wasn’t invited back to the Ranch for a sleepover.
