Guilty pleasures

This place is full of devoted hard rock/metal/shred fans but we were all kids at one time and there were songs we liked as children that were not metal/shred or even on that radar screen. And the good ones stand the test of time.

My sister had this album. I had a crush on Stevie. But Lindsey was sneaky good.

I just created a 70s playlist on my iTunes...full of cheesy stuff I'd hear when I was 8 or so in my mom's station wagon on the way to the YMCA or golf course pool....all we had was an AM station in my hometown in southern Mn. AM...cheesy easy listening 70s stuff....life was small until I heard Xanadu by Rush at a friends house....then, we went through his dad's record collection in short order. Lol

yes, late '70s punk / '80s new wave is one of my fav genres...if you haven't found the YT channel 80zforever, it's worth a look. He collects obscure, indie, regional bands from around the world, it's a gold mine on top of the more successful bands of the genre.

and on the lighter side

That live album is one of the best lives ever. Period.

When I was young, probably around 1979/80 my father bought me a record player, all plastic, made to look like a jukebox. Lit up and everything. He also bought me two 45’s…
Centerfold/Freeze Frame was one of them.

I was seven in 1980, and just starting to really take notice of pop music. The radio was on 24/7 at my house. JGB stood out, along with Bowie and new wave was starting to stick - nevertheless the less I’m 52 this year and some of those songs are timeless now. I can’t do metal. It’s just not that interesting to me.
 
I have another confession to make…and I hope my boy vonbonfire doesn’t see this…I like line 6 and most modeling gear. I had an original pod pro rack unit, bbe sonic maximizer, mesa 20/20 and two mesa halfback 4x12’s with mc90’s and ev’s…. That rig fucking killed. The key to the old line 6 stuff was find the good setting for each model and go with it. It doesn’t have to sound exact…it just needs to sound good. I used the twin setting for cleans and tread plate for the heavies… it worked great 👍
