I've always had Bonnie Tyler's album with "Total Eclipse."

Faster Than the Speed of Night. Which I am totally going to listen to now.

I'll match my Unfashionable Musical Taste against anybody's. I have (on CD) Greatest Hits compilations from Air Supply, Barry Manilow, and the Pointer Sisters, the Carpenters (as well as 3 or 4 other albums), and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, as well as Paula Abdul's first two albums. Bought Milli Vanilli on cassette when it first came out.

Musically, I have no shame.

Did you play French Horn, too?

Yep. Jr. high through high-school. I showed some promise, but once I had a girlfriend I for some reason practiced it a lot less, so I ended up being 4th horn my Jr. and Sr. years.

My dad bought me the horn. I was the only one who owned his own. And I was the only one without a double horn, which made the high notes harder to hit. (I occasionally still have dreams where I have a solo part to play, and I mess up the high notes.)

I played french horn too!!

Huh. Cool.

We should form a Buffista high-school band....

Ooh - marching band uniforms with corsets!

Try playing that song back-to-back with Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All."

Yes, but there is something corrupt (so it says) and it will not unzip for me :(

I had to go to some other site and download a codec. I'd explain in more detail, but mostly, I shouted to Scott to come talk me through it, and we ended up having to download a new Windows Media player first, and then the codec, and then this morning, I had to go and get Scooby Road again, even though I'd gotten it last night.

Sassy had a special insert one issue with a very thin plastic square record of an REM song, I can't remember which one. But you could put it on top of a real record and it would play. I remember someone wrote in wishing that the magazine had included the lyrics.

I had really horrible taste in music and didn't know anything, I loved hair bands and Richard Marx and didn't know Pink Floyd was a band for the longest time. And I loved a-ha, I remember being such a dork and jumping up and down so excited when they won best video at the VMAs.

I still love Def Leppard. If "Pour Some Sugar On Me" comes on the radio, you bet I'm turning it up. And singing along.

Def Leppard was the first "real" concert I went to see (previously I'd seen Sandi Patti at the same civic center, but that doesnt' count). My brother and I went and Mom's best friend (who is 10 yrs younger and much hipper back then) took us. It was a lot of fun and Queensryche opened for them. Later on I saw Tesla and Metallica.

You people are reminding me why I tried really hard to only listen to songs recorded before 1970 once the 80's really started rocking. With some occasional exceptions for late New Wave/early Alternative.
