i generally try to keep my music tastes impeccable because of being exposed to all my favourite bands back when i was 5 or 6 (cure, banshees, killing joke) but I absolutely love the commercial dance hit 'Gypsy Woman' by Crystal Waters.
it's the one that goes 'lah dah dee lah de dah'. Something about that jazzy keyboard riff still sounds ace today.

I absolutely hated that when I first heard it, but it grew on me after a while. It's a shit song but strangely interesting. :confused:
I 'cough' quite like the Power by Snap ! Much prefer the instrumental version of it as sometimes you hear it on certain TV progs. The bloke in it (Turbo-D ?) looks a bit of a muppet but back then it was a classic !
I bet one or two people here though bought the ringtone for their phone !
I remember being shocked seeing a thread here with people listing what tones to annoy people in public/on a train/in a quiet pub etc they had on their phone and the list was scary and long
I?m really annoyed by the fact that motley crew seem to be remembered as "THE" 80?s metal band even tough their music is goddamn embarrassing. People remeber them only beacause tommyleebadboyandallthat used to date pamela anderson! W.A.S.P. and Twisted Sister are the real 80?s metal gods, and W.A.S.P. still rocks making great records!
Erm, Twisted Sister were basically a cartoon band (filing down your front teeth to look like fangs???? ) who made their dubious reputation on one or two songs.
Whilst WASP never produced one decent album and relied on titles like 'Fuck Like A Beast' for shock value. As for the concept album The Crimson Idol, now that was embarassing.

Whilst I often agree with Karingal's taste in music, I have to defend W.A.S.P. and (ESPECIALLY) Twisted Sister.
While W.A.S.P.'s later stuff leaves a lot to be desired, the first album, as well as 'Last Command' and 'Inside the Electric Circus' were classics of their time.
There was also a lot more to Twisted Sister than the image and a couple of songs. Whilst most Brits think of the dreadful 'I AM I'M ME' performance on TOTP, there were stacks of anthems; 'I Wanna Rock', 'Leader of the pack', 'The Price', 'Be Cruel to your School', 'Under The Blade', 'Tear it Loose', 'SMF', 'Stay Hungry', 'The Kids are Back', 'Come out and play' and many others.
OK, they did have a bad album or two, 'LOVE IS FOR SUCKERS' being one of the worst, but there are also 4 very decent ones. Also, they also took audience participation at shows to new extremes. They also weren't a 'manufactured' band - whilst the image was a major part of the act, it wasn't record company driven unlike many other supposedly similar bands.

Nope, I couldn't see why I'd be embarrassed by someone I like. I'd be more embarrassed by something in my music collection which I have grown to hate - I mean some of the stuff I've got - it's like What was I thinkin'?!? Most of you would be asking WTF is that anyway! I couldn't care less what others think about 60s & before folk music - I like it! :-D
> Eg you would listen to it on headphones but you would > hate your friends/family/work colleagues to hear it > if you had it on loud speaker ? Nope, cause I wouldn't have those problems! My philosophy is if someone likes a facet of something, then others come to/or have those same feeling - regardless of whatever the majority say/or do.

Having said all that I do own all of TS's albums and most of WASP's. Go figure...

Disposable, and easily forgotten.
Surelyyyyyyyyyyyyyy no one likes that though ? I really hope no one has that as their ringtone ! Downloaded ringtones are the devils spawn !
And shite.
