| Can't really think of any to be embarrassed about because I was always very critical as a teenager but when I was about 10 I used to listen to the Clancy Brothers a lot and listening to them now I wonder what the hell I was on about back then. First LP that I chose was the Royal Marine Corps Band rather than Alvin and the Chipmunks which is what my parents suggested at the time..lol |

Location: Boise, Idaho | How could I forget Paul Revere? It's interesting that I ended up in the same place as a couple of my early favorites--Paul Revere and Gary Pucket. Gary was from Twin Falls.
I guess I have to confess listening to the Partridge Family, too. |

Location: GA USA | I was listening to Mott one day at work recently and decided to throw on some Mick Ronson. The first song was "Billy Porter" and I couldn't believe that I ever liked that song. Mick was good, though. |

| OK, I forgot about Hawkwind.
In addition to buying one of their albums I went to see them as well - that might be even worse..lol |

If not for PF, I wouldn't have become infatuated with the Breadwinner. I had no idea what it was at the time, but now that I own one I have David Cassidy to thank. :) |

GWB, you just may have given me a new tune to add to the set. That one's happy and upbeat for sure. |

Location: Indiana | I saw Three Dog Night 5 times live. Great live band.Still a big fan to this day. Still love the Raiders,too. Went and saw Grand Funk when they were in their prime. Thought they were great. Read the awful reviews. The more I thought about it, the reviews were right. Was a big Yes fan, too. Can't really understand why. Very talented, but their songs make no sense to me. Was also a Black Sabbath fan for a VERY short time.

Location: NW of Philadelphia | I listened to Sweet (still have a CD), but for the song Ballroom Blitz.
IMHO Three Dog Night (still in my iPod), The Association, and GFR, were good bands for thier time.
I confess, I listened to The Outfield, Chilliwack, Chris DeBurgh, and Orleans. Those I can live with.
But I did listen to (God forbid)... MICHAEL JACKSON!
***lowers his head and weeps in absolute shame***
Please forgive me! I won't do it again... I swear. (except Thriller, just to hear Vincent Price's laugh at the end) |

This was like twenty-something years ago, and I was not a teenager.
But for some reason I kinda liked that band.
And all my friends Hated them, and groaned if I would play them on the jukebox.
[Which was one more good reason to play them! :p ]
Just a reminder, for those who forgot what these folks sounded like. |
