Cartoons are fine, it’s that jerk Gene Simmons I’m reacting to. He’s such a misogynistic asshole.

I don’t have any kids; but I would like more socks.
Parfitt and Rossi were the Daddest of Rock Dads.
Kenickie were popfection.
I saw Glen Tilbrook live at Cropready; and his banged out the hits, one after another. I didn’t realize how much of the Squeeze catalogue I knew. Their lyrics were always inventive.

This 23 track compilation was released in 1996 but might qualify.

The best thing about this is that they couldn’t afford to fit The Boss on any of the three obsolete compact discs and how by playing around with the playlist sort order you could make the listening experience so much more painful and hilarious.
Just reading the songs gave me the creeps.
Strip out the vocals however and you have yourself a completely sloppy drunk karaoke party on your hands

As a punk rock / art student / kitchen guy in the 1980’s I can say that
it was as rich and rewarding as every other decade.
Except for the pay… the pay sucked.

Does Imagine Dragons really have fans? The boredom they inspire led me to believe they were some sort of marketing scam involving paid follows and likes.
The worst format to emerge in radio history is Adult Contemporary. I would have thought “Dad Rock” was supposed to be that boring shit - for those moments when you need to listen to Phil Collins, I guess?
Is dad rock classified as “eh, not so bad.” Because that’s what that list feels like to me. Like music that doesn’t change my heart rate much. If I was driving cross country I wouldn’t change that station.

I would. It would suck to fall asleep and swerve off this world.
This is my Go For A Walk list. It gets me from home to the Y and back.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
Hedwig: So if any of you out there are looking for the song that’s going to be your big hit, you should pay attention, because we are talking to Phil Collins’ people. But then again… aren’t we all?

Nice conclusion. Considered adding “Where the Streets Have No Name” and “You’re Lost Little Girl”?
