When feelings and music mix... but shouldn't...

After BG's comment, I was thinking of posting a few more YouTubes of songs that reminded me of males from the past... whether males that I actually interacted with, or merely worshipped from afar... Yes, Vincent Van Patten and Willie Ames (Swiss Family Robinson Willie Aames, not Eight is Enough, thank you!)... you know I loved you both!  And then I realized, some were just horrendously embarassing! We can't always control what our brain anchors onto when Cupid zaps our heart! I'm talking about you, Barry Manilow!!! As Grizzled said when we were combining album collections...

G: Who in the hell has THREE Barry Manilow albums??

Me: HEY!!! I was once an 12 yr-old girl who grew up with Top 40 AM! He struck a chord... I couldn't help it!

G: OK, but that doesn't mean you have to keep them!

Me: But that would be like scrubbing my past, and I'm not going to do that. I will probably never listen to them again, but they do mark a point in time...

Yes, when going over my list, I was more embarrassed than not... but not too embarassed to share some... Go ahead, toss your judgmental daggers! I can take it. These were, and still are, associated with LUV!

Nothing wrong with any of those. Although I have always been more partial to Toto's second album the more prog-influenced Hydra.

In addition to the Rush connection, Wife Sublime and I have a history with Bat Out of Hell. on 8-track.

[Jennifer]

I agree... nothing wrong with the last two, but Toto can be hit or miss. I'm totally biased when I hear this song, but I know people who hate it.

I left out the REALLY embarrassing stuff.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I have no embarrassing music, so I have little idea how it feels. :D

[Jennifer]

I have no embarrassing music

Denial is a good thing... as is a big ego.

SMILEY!!!!!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Architects have no egos.

[Jennifer]

I bet they have Legos. :)

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

ummm....yes.

I feel better about hanging on to my Foghat.

(One of my first albums, ever!)

[Jennifer]

So romantic, thundra...

Would you like a picture of a flower?

P.S. (While my linked video is not Foghat, they are mentioned in the romantic lyrics.)

[Jennifer]

No... it was not Foghat.

[Jennifer]

And Happy 4/20, thundra.

saw them with Blue Oyster Cult, back in the late 70's, I think, at the chicago ampitheater, what a show, seems like my ears are still ringing

LOL at Dave.

That song reminds me of Jr. High.

Or... driving in Wisconsin... anytime the radio might be on...

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

And you wonder why I haven't listened to commercial radio for 30 years?

..but yeah, I'm with Dave, saw that tour in Madison. I don't remember it being overly loud though.

[Jennifer]

WHAT??

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

"Blue Fog" tour.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

The second part of that prior capcha was "2".

Either capcha isn't trying anymore, or now it's fucking with me.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

WHAT??

I guess Jennifer saw that tour also.

[Jennifer]

We listened to some commercial radio at times during our trip... Sometimes it's nice to be surprised with a little Badfinger.

[Jennifer]

That didn't sound right, did it...

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I was gonna say....

[Jennifer]

Seriously though... when was the last time you heard, "Baby Blue"? And while I wouldn't want to hear it ALL the time, or even some of the time, it was kind of a nice surprise.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

It's all Over Now, baby Blue?

I've got a Bad Religion version of it.

[ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©]

Awwwwwwwwwww, I remember Badfinger.

Can't hate on them, no how, no way.

Getting rid of albums is like secretly removing books from the library. It is 1984-esque.

You just have to keep them. So Ghostbusters soundtrack, Banarama, Huey Lewis and Thompson Twins. My first four cassette tapes are still somewhere.

[Jennifer]

It's all Over Now, baby Blue?

No, different one.

Can't hate on them, no how, no way.

I agree. That particular song reminds me of riding my bike, with my Toot-a-Loop on the handlebars.

[Pinko Punko]

Ha! Thunder- I didn't know that was Badfinger until right now. I knew the Come and Get it was them. I also didn't really know the "Take a Load Off" song was The Band. Just was never in to them. I know, as soon as this comment goes live, I am to be shunned by the world. There are tons of classic rock songs that I know but couldn't tell you who sings them. For some reason, DJs only still announce things like the songs you KNOW, but never the in between the cracks ones.

[Jennifer]

I had forgotten they wrote "Without You".

For some reason, DJs only still announce things like the songs you KNOW, but never the in between the cracks ones.

That's why you ask Grizzled. :) I had never heard of that one. When you said it had to do with a train or something like that, I couldn't get Train by 1910 Fruitgum Company out of my mind.

You just have to keep them. So Ghostbusters soundtrack, Banarama, Huey Lewis and Thompson Twins.

I will never live down Peter Schilling.

[Jennifer]

Pinko- I think I have the soundtrack to Top Gun. :) Ghostbusters would be a huge improvement.

[Jennifer]

Ha! I just saw this one in the sidebar. I always thought it was early Bee Gees.

[Miss Jane]

Even if everybody dissed your collection... I am still a bit envious of your Barry Manilow disks...

[Jennifer]

I can't believe you put said that publicly, MJ! :)

[Kathleen]

I don't think I can dwell too much on my past re: this topic. so cringe-inducing.....

lets just say something that rhymes with Pilson-Dillips is coming to mind...
