Just plain wrong...

My favorite morning radio show was talking about this today when I was taking hubby to work. I don't even know what to say...it's just disturbing on so many levels. Few things in life truly frighten me. This is one of them, I'm afraid.





Who would actually eat this????

Nostaliga

I was getting ready to log on to Yahoo for a rousing game of on-line pool, when these 2 headlines caught my eye.
25 Best Hair-Metal Bands
25 Worst Hair-Metal Bands
Sadly, I know of all of these bands...Which shows my age more than anything. My thing is, I liked most of them...From both lists. I am surprised that Posion and Skid Row topped the Worst list, whereas Ratt, Faster Pussycat, and L.A. Guns made the Best list. Don't get me wrong...I said I liked most of them, those bands included. But a lot of that late 80's/early 90's Hair band stuff was all copied off each other. It wasn't very often that a group came along with an original look and sound, although it was refreshing when it did happen.
Anyways...I found both lists to be entertaining, thought you might as well.
After seeing these lists, it got me thinking about all the different types of music that I have enjoyed over the years. I would still have to say that, even though I haven't had the privilege of seeing them perform live, Metallica is still my all time favorite. More recently, I have been listening to a lot of Papa Roach, 3 Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin (remember, I have a teenager), and that got me thinking that I'm super-bored with the music scene right now. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the new Motley Crue album, although I am a little bit nervous that it might be the same ole', same ole'...Let's hope not. I am also VERY anxious about the rumors of a new Metallica album this year, and I even found myself to be a little excited about hear that AC/DC was back in the studio...Even though most (or all, your opinion) of their songs sound the same.
So...Like I was saying, I'm bored with the music scene right now...Anyone have any suggestions for me? Please??
