Poison - One of the great hair bands. I really like Every Rose Has Its Thorn. That's a classic.
Police - Legendary group. I loved the episode of Friends involving the Sting storyline. They even got Trudy Styler (sp?) to guest on the show. Anyway, in the episode, Phoebe goes to the Stings' house (she calls Trudy "Mrs. Sting") and she doesn't want to leave. Trudy says, "I've just pushed a button that triggers an alarm. The police will be here in a matter of minutes." And Phoebe says, "A reunion? And I don't even have my camera!" - or something like that. Sorry for the rambling, but this Police post just made me think of that. Anyway... faves - Every Breath You Take. I don't mind Roxanne either. Also in that Friends episode, Phoebe does her own version of Roxanne. "Ross can! Ross can! Ross can get me the tickets! Ross can GET ME THE TICKETS!!!"
Power Station - Not familiar with them.
Elvis Presley - Blah blah blah. I'm so sick of hearing about Elvis and that King of Rock-n-Roll junk. Sure, he was cute and a good singer, but I think he's totally overrated. All this could have something to do with the fact that my mom ABSOLUTELY LOVES him and I'm just tired of hearing her go on about him. Nevertheless, there are lots of other singers I like better. He does have a few good songs though.
Billy Preston - Never heard of him.

Poison - I loved 'em when they were big, and now they're just a guilty pleasure of mine! Reminds me of some fun times. Faves: Talk Dirty to Me, Nothin' But a Good Time, Every Rose Has Its Thorn
The Police - Still diggin' these guys. Faves: Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Breath You Take (a guy dedicated this to me, and when we all learned the true meaning behind the song.. it gave me the creeps), Roxanne
Power Station - Get It On, Some Like It Hot
Elvis Presley - What more can one fan possibly say that hasn't already been said? An absolute classic legend who deserves as much respect as possible, and I totally agree with everything you've said about him.. especially the fact that it doesn't matter that he ate all those fried peanut butter sandwiches and gained weight like crazy towards the end -- he was special, and his presence was undeniable. I am a very big fan of all his music, especially what he put out in the 60s and 70s. And that voice.. good grief, that has to be the best voice I've ever heard (though I can't leave out Freddy Mercury)! Faves: In the Ghetto, Kentucky Rain, Viva Las Vegas, Suspicious Minds, Teddy Bear, Return to Sender, It's Now or Never, All Shook Up, Love Me Tender, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Good Luck Charm, Can't Help Falling In Love
Billy Preston - Nothing From Nothing

Ok - all caught up.
Poison - um...no thank you. Beavis and Butthead did a hilarious send-up of them once "Oh Mommy! I smeared my lipstick! Guitars up, 2, 3, 4, kick, 2, 3, 4. Hey! It's working, just like we did in practice! It's Bobby, Cece, and don't forget Brett" (video: I Want Action). I was a new-wave girl, not a heavy metal chick. I do like one song: Give Me Something To Believe In
The Police - a favorite of mine. Favorites: Roxanne, Every Breath You Take, Da Doo Doo Doo Da Da Da Da, Synchronicity II, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Don't Stand So Close To Me, King Of Pain (most favorite)
Power Station - Robert Palmer and John Taylor - 'nuff said. Favorites: Some Like It Hot (ie: John) and (Get It On) Bang A Gong
Elvis - I gotta say that to me, he was highly overrated, but I respect his contribution to modern music. I do like a few songs: Moody Blue, In The Ghetto (A Vicious Cycle), Kentucky Rain, A Little Less Conversation, Viva Las Vegas, Burnin' Love, Suspicious Minds, and that one that has the lines "Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind" and "twilights trimmed in purple haze" That one has such pretty lyrics.
Billy Preston - I know who he is, but the only one of his songs I'm really familiar with is Nothing From Nothing.

Poison-From the era after I stopped caring. I know I've heard a bunch of their songs, but the only one I'm really familiar with is Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Lukewarm on it. Police- I don't go crazy over them, but I do like a few of their songs, including the ones you got tired of, Sat.  (just said that so I could use the icon. ) Faves: Roxane, Every Breath You Take, Don't Stand So Close To Me, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Power Station- Only song I know is Get It On. It's pretty good, but I like the T Rex version better. Elvis Presley- I think one thing we can say about Elvis is: if there were no Elvis, we wouldn't be posting on MC. He was the catalyst for all of it. Not Chuck or Bill Haley or Little Richard. Not even the Beatles. If there were no Elvis, there'd be no Beatles. - Not as we know them anyway. That said, I have to do a brief spiel on the two Elvises. I hear what you said about not judging him on the fried nanner sandwiches and white jumpsuits. But it was more than that. In a lot of his music in his later years, I just didn't feel that he was trying. Yeah, he did the big production numbers with the big sound and all the sweat, but, IMO, the MUSIC wasn't there; it was all production. There was no edge. Early Elvis was a different guy. THIS is the man who brought Rock N Roll to the masses. THIS is the reason we're on MC today. Faves: (with the exception of a couple, they're all Skinny Elvis.) Don't (all time top 100), When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again (all time top 200) Anyway You Want Me (all time top 200), I Want You I Need You I Love You (all time top 250) Now and Then There's a Fool Such As I, Playing For Keeps Too Much, All Shook Up, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel, Love Me Tender Teddy Bear, I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine Trying To Get To You Love Me One Night With You Loving You Marie's The Name Follow That Dream Little Sister Surrender Are You Lonesome Tonite Good Luck Charm It's Now Or Never I Feel So Bad Can't Help Falling In Love Rock-a-Hula Baby She's Not You In The Ghetto Suspicious Minds Kentucky Rain Billy Preston- Beatle connection or not, a fine keyboardist. Always thought he'd have more success than he did. Faves: Will It Go Round In Circles, Outa Space, Nothing From Nothing, I Wrote A Simple Song You are SO right about Elvis being the reason we are here, not the Beatles or Chuck. And I dig what you are saying too, but I have hear some good vocal productions, like on Hurt. |

Poison - They were harmless I guess. Even though I dug a lot of the cheesy metal that was out at that time I never really liked these guys that much. CC Deville makes me laugh. Anyway, I guess my fave from them would be Nothin' But A Good Time. Police - I absolutely adore them. Even when they made questionable music choices, I appreciated the effort. I have all of their albums. My mom introduced me to this band. She saw them play at some random club in 1978 and was hooked. Their music was played a lot in my house in the early 80s. I had the biggest crush on Stewart Copeland when I was 12. He's still one of my favorite drummers!  Faves: Walking On The Moon Bring On The Night Message In A Bottle On Any Other Day So Lonely Can't Stand Losing You Roxanne When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da Don't Stand So Close To Me Listen Listen Driven To Tears Murder By Numbers Wrapped Around Your Finger Spirits In The Material World Power Station - Love them too! Any group that has Robert Palmer and my boyfriend John Taylor in it is going to be SUPER in my book.  Faves: Some Like It Hot, Lonely Tonight, Communication, Go To Zero Elvis - I have to say that I think he's been put up on a higher musical pedestal than he should, BUT I do think he was talented. Hey, and I actually like all the cheese that he's criticized for. Give me the cardboard plot movies, and the jumpsuits and the strange food habits. Anyway my faves from him are: That's All Right Viva Las Vegas Suspicious Minds Heartbreak Hotel Never Been To Spain (live 1972 - although 3 Dog's version is better) Can't Help Falling In Love A Little Less Conversation (the original) Return To Sender It's Now or Never Are You Lonsesome Tonight Billy Preston - I like his two hits, plus his duet with Syretta which is one of the prettiest love songs ever recorded. I also like his Beatles covers. Faves: With You I'm Born Again, Nothing from Nothing, Will It Go Round In Circles, Get Back, I Wrote A Simple Song, Blackbird If there was ever a Poison movie, Gilbert Gottfried could play CC, based on their speaking voices! I like the cheesy Elvis stuff too, especially the karate stances! But why do you feel he is regarded higher than he should be? |

Yeahhhh! Great list today...this will be a hoot! ;D Poison: Hoo boy, why on earth did I like them so much back in the 80's? Even saw them in concert with Warrant. "Look What the Cat Dragged In" was a fun album during my freshman year of college and many a party was attended with this playing in the cassette deck. I don't get the whole eye shadow and lipstick thing but whatever floats your boat I guess. Talent? Nah...not really. It was more about the attitude...the partying...the girls... When I was 19 those were my priorities so that's how I was once a fan. Favorites = Talk Dirty to Me, I Won't Forget You, Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Nothing But a Good Time The Police: Excellent band. One of my favorites from my high school years. Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers produced some of the better music 1979-1983. Deep lyrics, great drumming, fine guitar work and Sting's passionate vocal style make this band a real winner. Favorites = Roxanne, Don't Stand So Close To Me, De Do Do Do De Da Da Da, Every Breath You Take, King of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Synchronisity II Power Station: Let's see, there was Robert Palmer, Nile Rodgers, John Taylor and Andy Taylor? One of a handful of supergroups formed during the first half of the eighties (Asia, Arcadia, The Firm) though this one was strictly a one album deal. Saw them in concert also. It was a good show from what I remember of it  . I had nosebleed seats in a closed arena and all the smoke from negligibly illegal substances rose to my level, leaving me slightly less than lucid. But anyway...fun band. Bang a Gong was nice but Marc Bolan and T.Rex did it right the first time. Favorites = Some Like it Hot, Bang a Gong (Get It On) Elvis Presley: Won't bother to critique him because we all know of his legend. Like many, I have an MAJOR preference for early slim Elvis than late bloated Elvis. Col. Tom Parker and his Svengali-like influence over the King stifled Elvis' creativity...leading to less-than-exciting recordings, concerts and movies as time passed. Great voice. Could have exceeded The Beatle's chart success had he not been managed by a jackass. Favorites = Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, Teddy Bear, Love Me Tender, That's Alright Mama, Don't Be Cruel, Crying in the Chapel, Burning Love, Blue Christmas, It's Now or Never, Wear My Ring Around Your Neck, Blue Hawaii, Amazing Grace, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, I Can't Help Falling in Love, many more Billy Preston: The Beatle's session keyboardist of the late 60's and one of the first signed to their Apple label. Can really pound the ivories! The thing I remember most, besides his songs, is his humongous Afro. It must have been a foot high in every direction! Thumbs up. Favorites = Will It Go 'Round in Circles, Nothing From Nothing They were playing Poison at a COLLEGE party?? Actually, it was Tony Tompson from Chic in the Power Station. Nile was serving time in the Honeydrippers at the time!  |

Poison - I never really got into them much, but their music isn't bad - I think I like it more now than I did then! Favorite: Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Police - Oh yes! Somehow I missed hearing 'Roxanne' when it was current, but I was really taken with ' De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da' when it first came out, and I've been a fan of theirs ever since. Great junior high and high school memories! Favorites: Spirits in the Material World, Synchronicity II, King of Pain, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Message in a Bottle, Invisible Sun, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Driven to Tears, De Doo Doo Doo. Power Station - I'm only familiar with 'Get It On' and 'Some Like It Hot' - both are great! Elvis Presley - Unquestionably, one of the most influential artists in music history. My dad has always been a big fan of his, and I can remember him playing the Aloha from Hawaii LP many times when I was growing up. Like Pete, I tend to lean more toward his later material, although his earlier songs were wonderful also. Favorites: Burning Love, Memories, Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, In the Ghetto, Way Down, Can't Help Falling in Love, Don't Cry Daddy, Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel, Good Luck Charm, Are You Lonesome Tonight?, and many more. Billy Preston - His work with the Beatles was outstanding, and I also love his solo work. He is a tremendously talented keyboardist. 'Space Race' is a superb track, in my personal top 50 songs of all time. Other favorites: Outa-Space, Struttin', Will It Go Round in Circles, Nothing from Nothing, With You I'm Born Again. Those later Elvis tunes you listed should NOT be overlooked! |

On target today! The 5 I predicted for today--here they are! Poison--Great gigh school and college memories for me. A little overhyped, and their ballads were quite "fluffy". Knew "Thorn" would hit #1 the moment I first heard the album in July '88--almost 3 months before the single release. Seemed like later 80's charts were so easy to predict. Anyway, some great rockers! Faves: Nothin' but a good time Unskinny bop Talk diirty to me Your mama don't dance (blows Loggins and Messina's version away! sorry... ;D  ) Fallen angel Ride like the wind Love on the rocks (didn't make the Hits CD  ) I want action Police--seemed like everyone in my middle school classes liked them a LOT. Couldn't understand it fully, but their tunes were all right. Their lesser remembered hits I actually like the most today. And Sting Solo? Doesn't compare. Faves: De do do do de da da da Roxanne Spirits in the material world Don't stand so close to me Synchronicity II When the world is running down... Invisible sun Message in a bottle Synchronicity I Can't stand losing you King of pain Every little thing she does is magic Walking on the moon Canary in a coalmine Bed's too big without you Friends (a B-side--Love its unusuality) Tea in the Sahara So lonely Bring on the night Wrapped around your finger Hole in my life Behind my camel O my God Walking in your footsteps I'm sure many people noticed I deliberately forgot one. In fact, I'll say it's in my top 100 of my CRAZY list--simply because it was HUGE. And it's STILL played to the ground 20 years later! I can gladly do without it, and life would have been better if I never heard it--better yet, never recorded. Power Station--with the "KLF", my fave one album act ever. What a combo--the album's easily in my top 500! Forget their 1997 album ever existed. This was pure DYNAMITE. Faves-- Get it on (Bang a gong) (Will always like it better than T. Rex! ;D) Some like it hot Communication Harvest for the world (In a perfect world, this, not Communication, should've been the 3rd single) Go to zero Murderess Lonely tonight Still in your heart Elvis Presley--my fave today--obviously. But it was his earliest hits, and I do mean HITS I still enjoy the most after all these years. I could never warm up to his later stuff and many of his movie tunes. And I'm TIRED of 50-something women who INSIST his later hits were his best--thank the LORD "the younger Elvis" outvoted "Fat Elvis" on the postage stamp a decade ago. And oldies stations that think "Suspicious Minds" is his all time best, like that was his biggest hit, have another thing coming! And not surprisingly, it's my mom's least fave Elvis #1! As a teen scream, those girls knew best. Those RCA hits from the start till his Army induction were so top-notch. And indeed, a true legend that won't soon be forgotten. Forget those "alive" rumors--enough is ENOUGH! RIP Elvis Aron Presly 1935-1977. Faves: A little less conversation (JXL mix ;D) Hound dog Don't be cruel All shook up Teddy bear I got stung Little sister It's now or never Viva Las Vegas (one of Billboard chart's biggest mysteries--how the B-SIDE "What'd I say" got higher on the chart is way beyond me) Follow that dream Return to sender Jailhouse rock Heartbreak hotel Stuck on you Hard headed woman Good luck charm Bossa nova baby I want you I need you I love you Burning love Are you lonesome tonight She's not you A big hunk o' love I need your love tonight Devil in disguise Don't A fool such as I Wear my ring around your neck I feel so bad Too much Guitar man Kissin' cousins Love me tender One broken heart for sale I beg of you Can't help falling in love In the ghetto Rock-a-hula baby Way down Did a HORRIBLE job covering "You don't have to say you love me" Only Dusty's song, thank YOU! Billy Preston--VERY understated keyboardist--of course, coming from the Click's most avid keyboard fan! SUPER job on Moogs and Clavinets on many early 70's tunes. And a pretty good singer too. Faves: Will it go round in circles Space race Nothing from nothing Outa-space With you I'm born again That's how God planned it I wrote a simple song Struttin' Slaughter You're so unique You are so beautiful (just as good as Joe C*cker's remake) Get back (from the unfairly misjudged "Sgt. Pepper's soundtrack") Wow! Catch my breath for the weekend! I actually like Elvis' cover of What'd I Say, but you are right, Viva is better! |

I can gladly do without it, and life would have been better if I never heard it--better yet, never recorded. Actually, no, I hadn't noticed until you said that. It must be "Every Breath You Take", and yes, that HAS been overplayed. I really liked it at first, but I remember it came out before I had cable, and every time I got a chance to watch MTV at someone's house, or to watch any music video program, that was ALWAYS on! I didn't even have MTV and I got sick of that darn video! It's too bad, because it is a good video... (quoting again) Harvest for the world (In a perfect world, this, not Communication, should've been the 3rd single) Absolutely yes! That's a great song! ("Harvest for the World", that is--I don't even remember "Communication") That song and video was WAY overrated! |

Poison--Probably my favorite "hair metal" band. I liked them a lot. Brett Michaels was awful cute, and I thought he had a lot of charisma. And he looked pretty good in that spandex. I enjoyed the band's energy, and their songs. Police--I've never been a fan of Sting's voice. There are a couple of this group's songs that I can tolerate, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to them. Power Station--Not bad. I was never into them much, but I do remember a controversy about the video for Some Like it Hot. The woman that was featured in the video dancing and prancing around, was really a man. Don't ask me why I remember that. LOL! Elvis Presley--A legend. A classic. Influenced and paved the way for a lot of artists. Such great contributions to the music world. I saw him in concert when I was 10 years old, and even though I was so young, I knew I was seeing a legendary performer. A truly great artist that the world lost too soon. Billy Preston--A guy I tend to forget about these days, but I really liked him back in the day. I think I have all his 45's. I used to play them all the time when I was a kid. I can remember playing either Space Race or Outta Space one time REALLY loud, and my dad screaming at me to turn that crap down or he'd come up to my room and break the damn record. LOL! No list of faves??  |

[glow=red,2,300]Poison- I've never much cared for their music myself. They are going to have a concert here in town this weekend, though. Police- Their song Every Breath You Take was the top song in the U.K. on the day I was born. I like that song and Roxanne, but I don't really care for anything else. Power Station- Haven't heard any of their music. I did have to play Get it On for band a few times though and it is one of my favorite numbers. Elvis Presley- I like Kentucky Rain, Suspicious Minds, and In the Ghetto the best out of all of his. Jailhouse Rock is good too. I'm not really a big fan of his though. [/glow] Those later Elvis tunes you mentioned are classics! |

Poison - Only song I really know is Talk Dirty to Me. Police - I remember when Roxanne came out, I thought these guys were pretty good. As they continued to crank out the hits, they just got better. Kind of hard to thing of them as classic rockers, but they are. In my top 60 all time. Favorites: Message in a Bottle, Can't Stand Losing You, Every Breath You Take, Synchronicity II. Power Station - Did songs in 1985 (not a good year for me, the radio, & top 40). I'll have to check them out. Elvis - The king. Nuff said. Favorites: Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel, Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, It's Now or Never, Can't Help Falling in Love, In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Kentucy Rain, Burning Love, Promised Land. Billy Preston - Pretty good funk. Guess you have to be good to play for the Beatles. Good stuff though. Favorites: Outa-Space, Will it go Round in Circles, Nothing from Nothing. Yeah, the Beatles didn't really have slackers guesting for them on their songs! |
