and are willing to cop to it.

For me, it's a no doubter. I once spent my hard earned cash on Creed - Human Clay.

Full retail price, too.

I maybe listened to it once or thrice when it dawned on me... my god, what have I done? :doh:

Match THAT, dickslaps.

That Spacehog album Dins likes.

Lionel Ritchie has actually done some pretty good songs, especially when with the Commodores, but this is just a little too much on the metrosexual side.

Yeah, Lionel Ritchie tops Creed on the KC Scott-o-meter.

But don't feel bad, I once bought a 45 of Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. Song named Classical Gas - which was actually pretty good but it just sounds gay.

Whitey, Whitey, Whitey. You want Classical Gas, you go with Mason Williams:




You buy Herb Alpert, it's for this:

There was a girl I had a thing for in HS who was a Madonna fan. So I bought a copy of Like A Virgin so she would have something to listen to. It never went anywhere with her and I was stuck with with the LP. :doh:

fuckin Goobs most always being right and shitting in my cornflakes.

Fuck you, I bought this 45 too.

Nothing to be embarrassed about there, Wags. Other than being a Raider fan.

Another Portland band.

Can't swing a dead cat in this bitch without hitting a Portland band but I sure wouldn't have guessed that.

Marty's own personal copy:

Nice, Marty, and on the Indian reservation note I somehow just stumbled over this.

Ace of Bass...back in jr high...ugh.

Plase list for me all of the smash hits they recorded in their tenure in Boise.


TIA


But before you say anything else silly, we shouldset some ground rules -- like how many rounds of this (losing) game do you want to play?

Dins, you forgot to mention The Kingsmen.
Their version of "Louie Louie" being the most recognizable.

Seen the Kingsmen about a buhzillion times.

you said they were a portland band, I said they started in boise, now you want to qualify it with where they were when they first charted a song? that's pretty fucking funny bro....

this is from the first paragraph on their history from Wikipedia

Initially based in Boise, Idaho, the Raiders began as an instrumental rock outfit....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rever ... he_Raiders

They were The Downbeats in Biose. They're a Portland band, trust me I know everything there is to know about The Raiders, I used to troll Mark Lindsay's messageboard. RACK me.

look, I've seen those guys about 10 jillion times and every time I've seen them, they claim Boise as their starting place....but in reality, it makes no difference to me....they're entertaining but not a band I'd haggle over ownership to....if you want to say they're from portland that's fine by me.....

A few members met in Boise and formed the Downbeats, then moved to Portland and became the Raiders. Cut their teeth for years in the Portland scene, battled it out with local bands and absorbed the local style, their breakout line-up was firmed up in Oregon and they launched from there.

Not trying to be a smartass, but it's important to get these things right. Raider fans are second in vicious only to Dave Clarke fans, they hold their socks up with drawing pins.

you know, we have a NFL forum for this kind of thing.....

anywhoo
back to the subject of the thread



in all fairness though, I was just starting to play the 12-string and thought this might be a good primer.....I was wrong

thankfully a buddy of mine gave me some leo kottke and early glen campbell album which better served the purpose...

Screw,
I don't care what you say. That first Spacehog album is a solid album.

As to the topic at hand, I don't think anybody's gonna top Wags, but I'll play along. I'm definitely embarrassed to admit that I bought the first Bush album and the first Slipknot album, but my all-time low was probably Limp Bizkit's Three Dollar Bill, Yall$.

I did buy Slippery When Wet and Look What the Cat Dragged In back in the day, but I was fucking 13, so I'm giving myself a pass on those two.

I also own all six Joker Cards.

Did I mention that I get paid to write about music?

I've seen him live probably 5 or 6 times. That cat is highly entertaining and funny as hell. Apparently years of playing with steel finger picks caused some serious tendonitis so he changed his style of playing some years back. Last time I saw him he didn't even have a 12-string with him....but it didn't matter to me....

when I started getting laid regularly, I stopped tolerating Rollins' whining.

Rollins is a moron for morons.

worst LP i ever bought was Prince: Come. it did have one good song.

ashamed: i bought the New Order LP with Bizarre Love Triangle. i always hated them, but my HS buddy had the most rocking car system...and that shit sounded so good. on my Yamaha turntable...meh. self-loathing and Peter Hook basslines.
