While I, from time to time, still listen to and enjoy a bit of the ol' what-used-to-be-called-college-rock, I'd have a lot more nostalgic fun w/:
Create a 12-Song Sampler for a Genre/Music Marketing Term Nobody Uses Anymore (Or, “Papa, What Was Pigfuck”?)

Maybe that speaks to why MrsEaster ...

The Chrome recordings prior to their contributions to the Subterranean modern comp was recorded in Damon Edges living room on a 4-track (=studio Alamar); I too prefer that sound to the more "New Romantic"/Coldwave aesthetic on Red Exposure or the more New Wavey Blood on the moon. I think the final ...

I'm a fan of everything (to various extents) up to-and including-Lights, camera... As for them being "childish" and "dumb", well, I still like those early Crue and Twisted Sisters albums and still like vintage Marvel superhero comics and I'm in my 50's;i doesn't prevent me from loving Cecil Taylor ...

Dehumanizer is bogged down by an extremely grey and dull production but the material is cool; I'd say it has more in common with sludgy 70s era Sabbath than it has with the previous Dio albums or the Tony Martin era...

Crap. I totally hate this type of "rock". For the sake of reference, I strongly dislike the Cure, Echo&bunnyfriends, Smiths, R.E.M. and Talking Heads too; my taste in so called "indie/alternative" is rooted in ardcore, punk, 60s garage rock and hard rock/metal; otherwise, I'm more of a jazz/funk/hip ...

Yup, second only to Sabbath as far as 70s metal goes and while their 80s was more inconsistent, I wouldn't want to live without Screaming for Vengeance or side 1 of ...

Priest of course; solo Dio has like 1.75 great albums to his name; Priest have like 6...

Yep and I also remember after he and the drummer recorded the 3rd album, he had burned all of his bridges in Memphis and moved back in with his libertine parents. They lived down the street from an all girls Catholic high school, and he would go outside and creep on ...

"Entertaining" book that I read at my ibrary in one sitting though I got pretty pissed off at his dismissal of Screaming Trees early records. Personally, I really like "Invisible lantern" in particular which manages to sound garage psych without sounding overtly "paisley shirt"-retro; no, there's ...

Pentangle. Got into them in my early 30s but had previously never been interested in that type of stuff. Steely Dan is another one I was late with, when I first heard the Aja album, I thought it was the lamest crap ever but I am a pretty big fan now. Sade another one I self-consciously avoided in ...
