Off: 10 Most hated

[Joseph Brooks]

Oh, I just can't resist this one. Apologies to those who don't care for this
sort of thing and fans of those bands on my list.

In no particular order (and staying within the general rock genre from the
70's thru the 80's):

Toto (I'm with ya, Torgo)
Styx
Journey
Boston
Foreigner (May qualify for #1 most despised on my list)
Loverboy (another contender for the #1 spot)
Pat Benetar
America/Bread (is there really any difference?)
Jackson Browne (Again, I'm with Torgo)
Ratt (a close runner up)
Poison
Duran Duran

There are more but these are the first 10 (ok, 12) that come to mind. The
ones guaranteed to make me change the station in sheer panic and utter
dismay.

JB

                Hey, it's me again... yeah I know, I should be lurking. I'm
such a phony
                lurker it's disgusting........

                Not naming any names, but I know for a fact that there is a
MAJOR Styx
                fan on this list. As for older albums like "equinox" and
"Serpent", I
                heard them all as a kid, but it's been a long time. The only
lyric that
                really sticks in my head is "Spider man and the human
torch...." and
                then I forget the rest of it.

                And as for pissing on bands we hate, someone mentioned that
we should
                find a common band that we despise. Well, I think that will
be
                impossible to do, as no matter who is mentioned SOME ninny
will stick up
                for them. Hell, I damn near jumped to Motley Crue's defense.
They were
                fun in a comic book sort of way (notice I said WERE though).
;^)

                But it would be interesting to see who we really dislike
musically. I
                mean, we pretty much stated our faves when we all did our
"dream band" a
                while back. So, for the record, here are 2 that come to mind
for
                me........

                TOTO.

                WHY do I hate Toto so much? Because it seems that whenever I
mention the
                fact that I think they are lame, someone always chimes in
with the
                question, "Even HOLD THE LINE?". So I have taken to
referring to that
                song as "Even hold the line".

                JACKSON BROWNE.

                Awesome guys like Elvis Costello and Warren Zevon always get
compared to
                him... and I don't know why, as they have more talent than
this
                over-ripe melon of a performer. Again, whenever I mention my
dislike of
                his music, some pinhead always chimes in with the question,
"Even
                RUNNING ON EMPTY?". So, I have taken to calling that song
"Even running
                on empty".

                I could go on, but I think I see a pattern developing, and
an annoying
                one at that. :^)

                Torgo has left the building.......
