Slave,
I've listened to just about everything under the sun at one time or another - my current cd collection takes up a wall and ranges from Slayer (their lyrics are childish, but I have yet to hear a tighter outfit) to Wagner's Ring to Traffic to Johnny Cash to Carly Simon - everything but reggae, which is just too dull (even though I fucking love Sublime). ANYWAY... when I was roaming my fraternity house out of my head, my music of choice was Allmans, Dead, Stones, Traffic, Dead, Doors, Hendrix, Dead, Widespread, Faces, Jefferson Airplane, Clapton, Jane's, Zeppelin, Nirvana, Floyd, Santana, Dylan, Metallica, Keith solo stuff, Mick solo stuff, Buddy Guy, Cream, Dead, Jerry Band, tons of Velvets, Neil Young... etc, etc. You get the picture. Of course, in order to get laid, like all guys must, I danced and hummed along to "Late December 63" at sorority formals.
I never did the campy 80s tunes and would have tackled anyone who tried to slip U2 into the house stereo. No one would even consider playing the Boss - they'd simply know better. I like Neil Diamond (anybody appearing in the Last Waltz has to have chops), but didn't discover One Hot Summer Night until after college.
Yes, of course I sucked down returnable 16 oncers. My preference, however, was always for Mr. Beam. Much more bang for the buck.
S(jesus... did I just admit I dig speed metal and Carly Simon?)D
