Biggest surprise: Martin Mull had an album?!

Second biggest surprise: none of these are in my collection of obscure albums.

One of the worst covers I had in my collection was White Lion's "Big Game" in middle school (this wasnt even the one with the hit 'Wait' - it was the followup to that album -
I was under the mistaken impression in 7th / 8th grade that the guitar player Vito Bratta was a god. Thank christ Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine and then a year or two later Greg Ginn, Steve Jones, et al. steered me away from this gross misconception...

Sort of fits with everything today: I have the audio tape of the book version of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089277/">this</a> TV special. Haven't listened to it yet.

I don't agree with their opinion of Tarkus or Bakesale...I've never seen the cover to that Cat Stevens album, but I kinda like it.

I almost spit sweet tea out of my nose just now. That's too funny!

sorry Pam... I must be so uncool now
(not that I was cool before - but I am in a different galaxy from cool now)

Rich. You have always been, are, and always will be very cool. I just wanted an excuse to use that picture.

Part of the reason I didn't like the Stones growing up, this came out in '86:

Dreadful, dated, and one of their worst musical efforts.
