Lists always create controversy, and I'm sure this one will too, even though it's in fun.
The Ten Types of Music No Man Should Own (http://www.esquire.com/the-side/music/sex-music-turnoffs-031209)

Damn! I was fine 'til she got to number 10...
-
I knew that was coming. ;D
-
You have to read the descriptions though. I thought I was good til 10 also, but I got cut far sooner than I expected.
-
I agree with OldmanC though. "Alive" is the kind of record EVERY man should own.
That list was worthless though, the fact that there wasn't any Techno (Not Techno as in Moby but Techno as in Hardstyle, Gabber or Hardcore) included in that list spoils it for me.

The Ethel Merman Disco Album will get cha every time! ;D
What if you have the Lilith Fair DVD, but only stare at it on pause during Liz Phair's segment? Does that count?
-
I think I was around 12 when I got Kiss Alive II, so I am totally cool. Who is this chick anyway?
If the Ethel Merman Disc popped up in the thrift shop, I would snag it. Maybe not as good as Ella Fitzgerald singing Sunshine Of Your Love.

I was 12 when Alive II was released so maybe I'm ok too. I totally remember that Village People album cover but I was never in danger of owning it...
-
I was 17 when Alive II came out, and I sat in the first row at one of the MSG shows. I might as well have the Ethel Merman album.

What is so bad about Carousel? they say original Broadway cast or national tour, or an artist who owns any copy. Does that include the movie soundtrack? Didn't the Beatles do a song from Carousel? How can you tell if they owned a recording? My sister had the movie soundtrack, so I became quite familiar with it.
I like the cover art displayed for the first choice, but I don't get what Cher has to do with Greek or Latin etymology.
-

Is this for real ??? ???
Anyway, I passed the Manly test.

Haha! Unless you are twelve. :toast:
There was a short period in my life when I thought Kiss was cool.
I was twelve.

I remembered a comedienne about 15-20 years ago who used to do a quick bit in her routine called Ethel Merman Does AC/DC, she would belt out a few bars of Highway to Hell in Ethel's style.
I couldn't remember her name, so I tried Google. Still didn't find it.
But I did find this. :o

Ah , the loophole ;)

I can't remember the last time I heard that word! Is Totie Fields in the house? ;D

What's wrong with owning this album?
(http://www.esquire.com/cm/esquire/images/cher-prisoner-lg.jpg)
I never had it (though I do unashamedly own Cher CDs), but the image sure makes me long for the days when the more visual aspects of music were not reduced to a CD jewel case size! Bring forth the double album!
A gem from the time before buttocks went botox: A down to earth and straightforward girl, Cher never left too much to the imagination ...

I'm safe on all 10 counts, but if I did own the Cher album I'd probably drop it into a frame and hang it on the wall. Eye candy!
-
I never understood why anyone thought Cher was good looking.
-
Hey, it's not like she didn't try! :mrgreen:
I liked her largely still unmanipulated looks in the Silkwood era. She wasn't just another bimbo, but had features which set her apart, long face and all. Middle Easternish. But judging from your crush for the former Mrs van Halen, you prefer the more cherubic type, right Dave?
See, I haven't mentioned Gwyneth P. once, that's strictly between us!

Will people still talk to me if I admit to having seen "Greg and Cher" at the Rainbow (London) in 1977...?
-
Was it as bad as people say it was? Or has time healed even these wounds? Did Cher do the vocal part of Jessica?
-
Now you know that list doesn't have any credibility at all.
Any list with a title like that that doesn't have "Devastatin' Dave the Turntable slave" doin' his FAMOUS! "Zip Zap Rap" is just operating under false pretences.
Bet you cant force yourself tolisten to all 4:42 mins of it :puke:

Standing next to Sonny probably helped quite a bit :)

I would have thought owning a Manowar album would have been a bigger sin than KISS. I happen to like KISS. Not all of it, but they're a fun band.
-
Gary, I have to admit to owning the first 6 KISS on vinyl - DESTROYER was a cool LP (Bob Ezrin was a cool producer) - and saw them both nights they played at the Hammy Odeon in London in '76, but never did again - grew out of them...?
Bret, I took the challenge - that was truly awful - I hope they took him "out-back" and left him to make his own way home...? I'll never be the same again - but that can only be a good thing... right...?
thos for and against - Cher did not leave much to the imagination and from the front row... skin tight and plack, and fluffy and white - several changes in a short set...
Uwe - the gig got NME's "Turkey Of The Year" award, but the year also resulted in Dicke Betts and Great Southern (with Toler and Goldflies who went into the reformed ABB a year or so later), and the other Allmans splinter Sea Level (produced some really good music - Lamar Williams was a great bassist), with Grinderswitch (Red Dog) and Dixie Dregs (Steve Morse, now with the Purples, obviously) touring the UK...
Gregg played a Muzak set - a token Statesboro Blues, a 4 minute Whipin' Post, Midnight Rider, plus a fair percentage of that LP... duets included Stills' Love The One Your With... the mist has descended on the rest... It was a slick Las Vegas show, but totally soul-less... 2 plus points for me was the inclusion of Johnny Sandlin (on bass, played with Duane and Gregg in the Hourglass) and a guitarist called Ricky Hirsch from a band I quite liked and had quite a bit of vinyl called Wet Willie...
I'm relying on your discretion here Uwe, so don't pass this on but I quite enjoyed it, in a perverse kind of way...
-
Johnny Sandlin...that isn't a name I was expecting to see here. I've never met him but I know a bassist who works with him on the weekends. The bassist has his own little studio which I've been to a few times.
-
All I know is Ringo has some very fine thighs wrapped around his head. Whats wrong with that ? (I'd like to know?)
-
i dunno. is that hair i see,and those knees look kind of manly. :mrgreen:
