Off: Pat Disses, Ear Plugs and Rush

A good choice.  I vote for Doug Pinnick, King's X.  Skull splitting
blast from Over My Head.  Impressive in the studio, lethal live.  Ear
Plugs would not save you from the power he emits.

I dunno.  Saw the song list and heard a few of them.  Its so bad I
couldn't help but laugh.  I think its a must have.  Will definitely
clear a room when the party is over.  Pat covers a lot of people, Alice
Cooper, Dio, Deep Purple, Van Halen, everybody but BOC and HW. Thirty
years in rock and our heros can't even get dissed by Pat Boone.  Oh the
tradgedy of it all.

Theo>"Can't believe there are so many Rush fans on a BOC list.  I can't
see
any connection between the two.  Any theories?"

Perhaps becuase Rush makes great music or at least they did, depends on
where you fit into their history.  I love early Rush and like or ignore
most of the modern stuff. I think I grew up in the right period for rock
and roll.  OYFOOYK was the first BOC tour I saw, Kiss, Alive 1st time
and Rush, Stages, 1st time.  See the pattern?  I kind of like Rush based
on that particular concert experience, their first few albums and their
playing ability which remains formidable after all these years.

Alex>"Further more, it seems that BOC was/is a very eclectic band itself
in the sense that not 2 of their songs sound alike and that you can hear
various influences in their music, from plain hard rock to blues,
including
jazz and other stuff. Some of their songs can even, IMHO, be considered
as
progressive (I'm thinking in particular at "Monsters" or perhaps GAoL)."

Great description.  BOC can give you a little bit of everything.
Certainly not the definition of formulaic rockers.
