Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
Finished my "binge and Pearl Jam" - all 9 studio albums in their entirety. Just finished Riot Act, Pearl Jam, and Backspacer. Riot Act and the self-titled album keep getting better (except "Parachutes" - it just does nothing for me). Backspacer is a bit of a letdown after the previous two albums. I'm trying to give it a chance, but I think it's going to end up in the Binaural/Yield grouping.

Heh. My childhood music memories include bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, from my parents, and Queensryche and Metallica from my brother and sister. It's what happens when your parents have good musical taste (my mom loves Pearl Jam, and some Nirvana), and siblings old enough to be into rock.

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
Until the 6th grade, I was all about Sting, Celine Dion, Boyz II Men, etc (which is weird since my dad is into Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc., and Mom is into the Who, the Stones, etc). Then I met my best friend (who had an older brother), and she was nice enough to introduce me to Tool, Nirvana, Bush, Garbage, and Live (and later on, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc.)

Lucky. I was the oldest, and the first to show any inkling to break out. Now, I'm the classic rock/country listener, my little sister is in to most things pop, and my brother is the angry white boy rocker of the family.

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
Obviously since my parents are way cool, I have given them some burned cds over the years, and a couple of the more suprising "likes" my mom has (dad is steadfast in his ways):
AC/DC
GNR
Apocalyptica (and the associated songs of Metallica)
Andrew WK
Prince (even songs like "Erotic City")
Pink Floyd (although they BOTH loved the movie "The Wall," thought it was brilliant)
Weird Al
Weezer
Kid Rock

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
Hold on now...I get crapped on for "Last Kiss," but this guy breaks out a "Cum on Feel the Noise" reference and he gets away with it? Shenanigans!
And I'm sorry about your situation. I can sympathize. My parents only listened to (what we call now) oldies and country when growing up. A friend then intro'd me to this "crazy new band" called Quiet Riot. Then it was alllllll over.

Don't ever speak ill of Quiet Riot. Ever.

My parents enjoy this too. And, how I knew I'd fit in with Flashy's family: one of the first times I was there visiting with him, from downstairs I heard a Wierd Al song being BLARED in the stereo.

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
I was the opposite - I'd never heard the PJ cover. A typical middle school conversation would go like this:
So & So: "So I was listening to 'Last Kiss' the other day..."
Me: "Really? J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers?"
So & So 2: "Uhhhh, who? No, 'Last Kiss'...you know, Pearl Jam."
Me: "Who's Pearl Jam?"
*culturally awkward silence*
I feel like a bad person, but I've, in all honesty, never heard the original Last Kiss.
I think I'll go and listen to it now...

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
FTW. I remember my parents buying me the "In 3-D" LP (!!!) for Christmas when I was a young lad.
So much truth. And Twisted Sister, also. Even I said (at the time): What. The. *. Is. THAT? They RULE! (Well, they still rule, but that was a bizarre "discovery" at the time.Don't ever speak ill of Quiet Riot. Ever.

Oh I'm not. I'm still hunting for my own little geek-ess to hang out with.

Circle the trailer parks. Not only are they into rasslin', but they also fit your age demographic. And like older men.

Re: TRP: Holidays and New Years Resolutions
Guess who introduced me to Blink 182, Stroke 9, 3 Doors Down, Linkin Park, and the likes.. Yup, that's right. My dad. Then again, he's only 38.

And apparently the skinny kid in the banana suit feels left out. Maybe he's right.....is it time to redirect the needle to some one else? Has DL had enough?
