I like so many albums that it is hard to pick my favorites. What would be easier is
Let's do it next month.

Yep...especially when mine will include the most loved band on earth (seems like). I always get bruised when I admit I'm not a fan.

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Maude @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

Coulda been why she divorced me.

Maybe.

It certainly wasn’t over a VH cover of a blues tune.

Cinny, your feet are planted firmly on earth, honey. Just don't ask me about the ice cream man and I won't divorce you, too. πŸ˜‰πŸ’ž

@JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @Maude @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

Dear Cinni β€”

Yes, it is β€œtrue” that Lisa and I were once β€œmarried” and that me liking VH’s cover of β€œIce Cream Man” AND the other unnamed band (despite L and myself being mutual Zappa fans) led to our β€œdivorce.” It’s okay, we’re still good friends.

If this doesn’t clear things up, please see the Python GIF below. πŸ˜πŸ˜‰

@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Maude @CanisPundit @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

NTM Bixie β€” like I think what Code W was saying…I didn’t see my choices as faves but as β€œtouchstones” that were more influential to my personal listening than they were β€œbest-ofs.” So that was a bit easier. Also, the arbitrary rules of the game were/are β€œYou only get 20 β€” make yer damn choice!” 😎

@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

I haven’t acquired any albums I hated, but there’s plenty that I’ve been apathetic towards.

@Bix @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

😝😱😝

And β€”

Lolz cuz I can come up with 20 REAL QUICK.

Maybe β€œhate” is too strong a word?

Think of it as β€œan album that you may find somewhat underrated, the selection of which could potentially irritate nauts, friends, coworkers, and neighbors.” πŸ™„πŸ€“

@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Bix @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

Trust me, people get mad when you give their favorite band a thumbs down, no matter how you present it. It's delicate territory.

@Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

To be fair, Cosonauts are capable of being reasonable. I've mentioned the band I hate a time or two and nobody came at me too hard. Now that I think about it, Nauts got angrier about my hatred of garlic. πŸ˜‚

@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

P’shaw.

I love Bixie even tho he bags on Frank.

I listen to Stevie Nicks, (Bella Donna), way more than Rumours, but I love Rumours.

If I had your address you'd be getting a case of Tootsie Pops as punishment. πŸ˜†πŸ˜‰

@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

I will never get over Fleetwood Mac & The Eagles being overplayed around 1980. Good music can become Chinese water torture.

@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

Some people don't like the Mark Mothers-Balls-Out era of Devo, and it is fine, even if I do. To each, their own.
DEVO - Sloppy - live 1978

Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. 😒 I wanted to hate the Eagles after the documentary. Because I thought Glenn Fry seemed like an ass. But they are cemented into the soundtrack of my life.

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Bix @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

Exxie β€” we know that Bixie can’t stand most Zappa plattas so there’s a start. πŸ‘

@CanisPundit @Bix @InUnfunky @Maude @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

I haven't spent a penny on albums I hate. I do have an Andy Gibb album my grandmother bought me in the late 70's...not sure I hate it though. πŸ€”

@Maude @CanisPundit @Bix @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @Mfieck @CinnamonGirlE @JerichoTaskerDeaux @Bobk37

I went on a search for all my albums, hubby only found that one. I know where my Zappa and Doors albums are, but not the rest. It's not hundreds but it's a lot. I'm tearing the place apart after my trip...hopefully I'll find them.🀞
