Most likely, you were just a kid trying to like just about anything that someone else bought for you as a gift. For me, here are a few...

(Still love some of it though)
I will admit that I was not yet out of my Men At Work phase in 1983.
And co-sign on Queen 8-tracks getting lots of burn in my oversized 1970s headphones.
Amen, and same goes for Rush.
And the lack of clowning, which is a Soulstrut rarity these days.
I'll see if I can think of any....besides the Atban Klan.
IMO both of those more or less stand up to the test of time.
I still think dude is mad funny, though. The "Fat" video = comic genius
JUST WATCH ANY LIVE PERFORMANCE AND YOU'LL SEE THERE ARE NO ROCK STARS ANYMORE.
THEY'RE ALL GONE!
"Yoda" was my joint.
When I was in 2nd grade this one got steady burn on my cassette deck:
You want really bad huh? How about these!
I got into Hip Hop first, then Rock and Rock'n'Roll. Then Heavy Metal and Punk.
I used to liten to Panthera, Suicidal Tendencies and Gwar before I got into Hip Hop again.
Dude, Halloween is a classic that will never[/b] die.
And Funky at 45 on the following ain't no joke neither...
Hahaha, I still have this record. I still think some of their songs are good/funny.
now we're talkin
When I got done laughing...
I was never a big rock fan, I turned 13 in 1969 the peak of classic rock, but there is lots I could stand before that I can't now. I try to justify a lot of it by complaining about the singing. Bob Dylan opened the doors to droves of bad singers.
I think my most egregious snobbishness today is hatting on musicians I used to tolerate, because they said things I did not like. The short list:
Steve Allen
Eric Clapton
Linda Ronsatadt
Most of the Eagles
Stephen Stills
Wynton Marsalis
Elvis Costello

Yeah, I still have my Op Ivy LP. And I'll still enjoy some Rancid if I hear it out somewhere.
