Peter Johnson Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 This will hurt your eyes. It's a list posted by someone in my office (for sale). A complete riot! Marc Anthony Bangles - Greatest Hits Bon Jovi - Crush Bon Jovi - Crossroads Garth Brooks - Sevens Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Place in the World Harry Connick Jr. - We are in love The Corrs - In Blue Enya - Watermark Kenny G - The Moment Billy Joel - River of Dreams Journey - Greatest Hits The Mavericks - What a crying shame George Michael - Patience Elvis Presley - Heart & Soul REO Speedwagon - The Hits Quote
Alexander Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I'm actually more disappointed by the fact that she's getting rid of it than with the overall crappiness of her collection. I mean, you like what you like, and if it's Bon Jovi and Kenny G. that float your boat, well then rock on. But that she's selling the lot indicates that she doesn't listen to these discs anymore. So she very likely only bought them for the one or two songs that were playing on the radio that caught her fancy. Now that the moment has passed, these discs are nothing more than an albatross around her neck*, and the sooner she's rid of them the better. *Warning: Literary allusion. If you were a high school student in one of my classes, this would go right over your head. Quote
Dave James Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Peter, Wonder why she's dumping such a stellar collection of unlistenable music? Has she experienced some sort of musical epiphany by virtue of her working in your immediate vicinity? Up over and out. Quote
Shawn Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 If we're going to start quoting from Rime Of The Ancient Mariner....then we should check and see if she has a copy of Iron Maiden's Powerslave album for sale... Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I own The Mavericks CD and I don't care what anyone has to say about it, its damn fine retro country. They even make a Bruce Springsteen song, "All That Heaven Will Allow" listenable. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) fess up i have journey's greatest hits cd Lying beside you, here in the dark Feeling your heart beat with mind Softly you whisper, you’re so sincere How could our live be so blind We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are by my side So now I come to you, with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am with open arms Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me Open arms Living without you, living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you, wanting you near How much I wanted you home But now that you’ve come back Turned night into day I need you to stay. i love you all, ss1 Edited March 8, 2005 by Soulstation1 Quote

Dave James Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I will concede that the Mavericks lead singer or I guess ex-lead singer, Raul Malo, does have one helluva set of pipes. I saw him do a medley that included "Make the World Go Away" and "For the Good Times" on that Top 100 County Songs TV show that aired awhile back and it gave me something akin to goosebumps. Up over and out. Quote

Up over and out. The Malo performance that gave me chills was during the Holiday program that ABC ran in December 2001. Him and his guitar, in post-9/11 New York City, singing, "New York, New York." Totally opposite to the bombast of Sinatra and big band, it had this amazing balance, between the gently strummed chords and almost mournful quality in his voice along side the core optimism of the song. Truly incredible. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I thought the literary allusion was to the word "neck" - Quote
Noj Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I know someone that has every disc there plus fifty that are worse. I can't stomach to list all the Wilson Phillipses, Kenny Chesneys, and other crimes against humanity. Quote

take5 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 That Iron Maiden song... it goes on and on and on and on and on *cue riff here* Quote

RDK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I'm with Moose - them Bangles are/were a fun band. There's also some Elvis on there. To me, it's not the individual albums that are so bad - yeah, I know we like jazz and so are better and more refined than everyone else - but the list as a whole. But that's pop music, guys - that's what *most* people listen to and enjoy... Quote
Uncle Skid Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 You guys are such music snobs!!! I notice that there are no Styx or Loverboy CDs on that list. 'Fess up -- which one of you guys bought them??? Quote

maren Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 What Marc Anthony CDs are those? He's another incredible singer, IMHO... Quote
Jazz Kat Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 I'm trying to figure out what overall kind of music this person goes for. Bon Jovi, Kenny G., Harry Connick, Elvis.... what an assortment. Quote

Randy Twizzle Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." Quote
