Mac, you are a narrow-minded ass. Bob Seger has five multi-platinum albums in his body of work. I don't mind someone sharing an opinion about an artist (I do all the time), but to dismiss Harry and Seger as if they were insects buzzing around your face shows a general lack of respect. I hate dumpy pink men floating in pools, but acknowledge your right to do so ....

And who cares if your pimply-faced associate producer, or whoever he is, shares your sentiments? Nazareth? OK ..... sure thing, music expert.

Bob Seger is a prominent part of a very short list of reasons to welcome deafness. I would rather listen to an insect buzzing around my face for one (1) hour than listen to Bob Seger's lame fool music for ten (10) seconds.

It's been fairly well established that Bob Segar sucks.

Guess not being able to spell "Seger" is an important qualification for the board.

Anyone over 25 knows how it's spelled. Ask Harry.

I guess that making decent music is not an important qualification for getting five multi-platinum albums.

Bob Seger has a few good tunes. I'm not sure I'd call him a legend though.

Why do I suddenly feel guilty for liking Seger?

In Michigan, they call him "Rockin' Bob". Frankly, I think a dialtone rocks harder than Seger. "Shakedown", "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" stink out loud. Also, no one can make an excuse for the live version of "Katmandu", can you???

Wow... Guyt on the muscle over my contempt for "Rockin' Bob" (thanks, Miska). I may be a narrow minded ass... but that has nothing to do with my penchant for hating Bob Seger. I think all of us would be happier if we didn't care who agrees or disagrees with our tastes in music... sports, etc.
I like several bands a high percentage of the world would say are garbage: Submitted for your mockage: Nazareth, Alice Cooper, Sweet, Badfinger, Tonio K, The B-52s, Trio, Budgie, George Thorogood, Badfinger. How's that for dog food? It's my dog food. And I don't ask you, Guyt, or anybody else, to share my bowl of Alpo. So don't be such a pussy when I call Bob Seger out for what he is: commercially successful, uninspiring, cliche-reliant, CHEESEBALL. Born of the same womb as Journey, REO, Foreigner, Boston, Styx, etc. Mid-'70s crap. Don't tell me about album sales. I think Foreigner's "Double Vision" album was the biggest selling album of the decade. Let us not forget that Velvetta cheese is still a big mover in this country as well. Never underestimate the American consumer's desire to purchase a bag of feces. Even without the stink removed.

I agree, Dave, you picked some of his worst work and called it out. I don't think Seger is a 'legend,' nor did I pop in to start an argument. I'm a huge MJH fan, and just took exception to the way Mac dismissed the guy as if he were a nuisance, rather than someone he doesn't care for.

That's all. Hope to contribute more positively in the future.

Common ground -- the White Sox and the Blackhawks -- we can talk commonalities!! Thanks, Mac, appreciate the response. (I don't HATE Velveeta, if that means anything ....)

I don't believe I've ever seen Alice Cooper, Thorogood, and the B-52's mentioned in the same sentence before.... :lol:

I like Velveeta also. Let's share some during intermission of the Blackhawks' home opener next year, Guyt.

I failed to mention (confess) that I loved Bachman-Turner overdrive as a yute. I liked BTO so much... I was willing to forfeit a good night's rest to see them headline a show at the Hammond Civic Center the evening before SATs in the spring of '78. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After also were on the card, as was Judas Priest, which cancelled because there was something wrong with Rob Halford's throat ("insert" joke here).

You can throw Kiss, 38 Special , Fog Hat and Skynyrd into that mix. I never understood the Kiss fascination. Great live show but the music sucked balls.

I can just see Mackey sporting his "DISCO SUCKS" belt buckle on his bell bottom jeans walking around Highland High asking , "Want to go to the Sox game tonight and watch this cat blow up some disco records"? :lol: :lol:

the last 10 seconds of Alice Cooper's "Freedom" video from the Raise your fist and yell album, is quite possibly the funniest shit to ever get captured in a rock video...

hint: pay attention to the guitar player.

Guyt - I'm just having a little fun with you on the Seger thing. I'm not one to talk. "Baby Blue" from Badfinger and "Hello, It's Me" from Todd Rundgren are a couple of tunes I'd drop a quarter into a jukebox for. Those two admittedly pin the needle on the "gay" meter. Music calls everyone differently, and everyone on this board has a few skeletons in the CD player.

Fuck that. We're up to our ears with positive posters these days. Hate and anger are underrated emotions. Don't be afraid to embrace them.

Ha, ha! I LOVED BTO, spawned from The Guess Who. Last time I saw them, it was FREE at a Fourth of July closet in Arlington Heights (Mackey, "The Heights!)

Skeletons, indeed, Dave. I have a Burton Cummings album from after The Guess Who, it may be the only one left in existence!!

Metallica's performance of Seger's "Here I am on the road again" is vastly superior to that of Seger's.

Coach- "Turn The Page"???? I thought it should be called "Turn The Station" That song is so bad, I think I blotted it out of my memory. I will agree that Metallica put some muscle behind it.

Button 48 getting a good workout this morning...
I saw Burton Cummings, right after he found Christ, warm up Alice Cooper at the International Amphitheatre on my 16th birthday, 8/27/77. It was the "Stand Tall" era for BC, who did do several Guess Who songs that night. That show marked the first time marijuana "worked" for me. I had tried to get high several times prior, but it never worked. It did that night... a glorious night... celebrating my birthday with the Coop, a good pal or two... and one night after the junior nose guard recorded his first varsity sack in the season lidlifter against Chesterton.

I saw a free show at Hawthorne when I was in high school with Eric Burdon and BTO. CD 94.7 sponsored it so that shows how long ago it was. Free tix or not, Obscructed View opened for them too, Mac ;)
