I liked Bush as a teenager. I’m really not sure why. And I can still stand a few of Stone Temple Pilot’s songs, but in general they haven’t aged well.

I’d been waiting for just the right opportunity to throw in a mention of “Love Beach”, ELP’s last and (by acclaim) worst album, particularly the song “Taste Of My Love”:

_Get on my stallion and we’ll ride.  
I want to hold you and enfold you beyond reason  
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.  
Go down gently with your face to the east  
The sun may be rising but we haven’t finished the beast._

Not even Golden Earring ever came up with lyrics that awful.

> I think my embarrassing early teenage phases that to the greatest degree did not last were Phil Collins, Billy Idol, and the Ramones (who aren’t so horrible but have been very much put aside and are categorized in my head as “childrens’ music” (I know someone will ream me for that).

I had the opposite response to the Ramones. At the time they were semi-big (the '70s) I was into “deeper” stuff and thought the Ramones were loud, crude and one-dimensional. When I started listening to them again recently things had completely changed and I realized that they were terrific.

I guess I’ve come to terms with being loud, crude and one-dimensional myself. 😃

One group I once liked (at least, the album “Magician’s Birthday”) was Uriah Heep. Now - ecch.

Queen. I used to love their music, but now I find myself switching to something else when I hear them. (Except for Nevermore, I still love that one)

Led Zep…\<shudder\>

Completely burned myself out on them when I was 15. Two notes is all it takes for me to stab at the “change station” button now.

> Another one I forgot to mention earlier is the Eagles. I’m sick of most of their songs. I don’t hate them enough that I’d get kicked out of a taxi for demanding that the driver change the station if an Eagles song is playing, however.

I fuckin’ hate the…Eeeeeeeeeeaaaaagles, maaaaaan! 😃
