To be honest, there isn't a band out there I couldn't find at least 1 song
that I actually like.

There are conditions:

#1) It has to be a band that I've heard of. I'm sure your 9th grade punk band of the mid 80's was going to be the next big thing but unless you happened to be Green Day, I highly doubt it.

#2) Can't be Lee Greenwood - I know I couldn't find anything redeeming about him

15. you can find some of his sets at youtube
LOL...

I dunno if flinging his own waste at the audience is a "hell of a performance" but it's certainly out there.

19. Like I said mainstream. But come on April Wine's "I like to Rock"
I remember listening to that on WTPA out of Harrisburg at top volume while driving my 77' Chevy Impala (and this was in the 80's when I could drive).

Plastmatics are alot like GG Allin where you appreciated the concept.

And as for the other two, I've listend to some David Allen Coe, but not super familiar but not familiar with Kenny G. Mentor

46. Mentor did "Shit Tower". David Coe does disgusedly racist music.
And personally, I didn't like April Wine at all. Same with Triumph. Not that they're bad musicians, but they just didn't do anything that interested me.

5. Okay. What's your (at least) one Steely Dan song?
:P :P

Is it "Reelin' in the Years"? "Dirty Work"? "Do It Again"? "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"? "Kid Charlemagne"? "Deacon Blues"? "Peg"? "Everyone's Gone to the Movies"? "Doctor Wu"? "Hey Nineteen"?

11. Steely Dan was probably one of the best non-zep related concerts
I've seen - I saw them back in 2000 and I have all their early stuff on vinyl!

29. Creed and Nickleback
While I can't think of one good goddamn thing about the complete and utter suckfest that is Nickleback, I will personally (and shamefully) admit that Creed's "My Own Prison" and one of their other ones (the Christian-y, living under "One King" song) have kind of a hypnotic effect on me (I leave them on if I come across them on the radio.)

I can't believe I just admitted that. Good grief. :hide:

35. I probably listen to my Barry Manilow CD about 2-3 times a month
And Neil Sedaka was a bit before my time although I do like the song he wrote for the Captian and Tenelle (Love will Keep us together)

39. Well you know I can't smile without you
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

42. Truly a cassion song for feminism if there ever was one.
Personally, I'm a fan of "Angie Baby" and her version of "Delta Dawn".
