Most of my cousins are girls, and I clearly remember us blasting Tiffany (and Cyndi Lauper) on cassettes growing up...
But I'm going to blame the girls... it was for 'them', not for me! Okay, fine... I really enjoyed it, too.

its ok. This is a safe place. I used to pretend to hate NKOTB but would then watch a VHS of one of their concerts with my friend over and over. I could’ve been disowned for that

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

As a child I was absolutely enthralled by songwriters who were great storytellers. This album did not disappoint...

Bruce Springsteen - Lost in the Flood
(from the album 'Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.')

This is a heavy choice for a little one! Whoa!

 

[PassionatePanther]

Were you team Edward or team whatever the other one was ? Jacob maybe?

I’m too old for that. I’ve never read the books or seen the movies . But I am on Team Punch Pattinson in the Face. Such a punchable face

Oh, there's no way that I could've understood what any of this stuff was really about... lol.
But I was intensely drawn to it. Absolutely!

Plus, I was a bit "heavy" (good word for it) as a kid...
My folks said that I've always been exactly the same... so as a kid everyone thought, 'you need to lighten up'... and as an adult everyone thought, 'you need to grow up'... lol. But as Joni once sang, 'I am as constant as a northern star.'

But no, there's no way that youthful me really "understood" the albums that I owned.

One of the beautiful things about good art you can be drawn to it for reasons you only really understand years later. And then appreciate it all over again.

Odd way to spell mental? Are you English?

Very well said, man! I like that a lot. Awesome!

Joni once sang, 'I am as constant as a northern star.'

One of my absolute favorites.

 

[onanismaddict]

One of my absolute favorites.

One of my absolute favourites, too! Totally.
(But I wasn't trying to break the rules by sneaking in an extra pick... lol. Honestly.)

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre

 

[Wonderer67]

Day 1: A song from one of the first albums you owned

Nuthin wrong with that!!!

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre
This’ll sound weird, but I always thought a punk or metal band could do a great version of this super moldy oldie. Put some driving drums behind it…

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre
Taking things in the other direction, I think a good bluegrass band could do some wonderful things with heavy metal on a washboard and banjos.

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre


I still insist that a Rule 34 must apply to musical covers, even if we can find the recordings.

But I’d love this as a polka song:

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre
I have been dying for a punk cover of this song for a looong time. Preferably by Rancid. Tim and Lars could trade off verses.

Alabama "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)"

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre
Punk or metal cover of this would be bad ass

Day 2: A song you want to be covered by a different genre

This one is hard, not because I don't understand the assignment, because this is one if my favorite things to think about... and now I have to choose ONE!!!

I absolutely love it when fast paced songs are slowed down and played acoustically. I also love it when heavy metal songs are covered by country artists and vice versa. Notice how I'm not mentioning multiple songs? I can be vague.

I really love this song just the way it is, but I wonder what it would sound like slowed down and covered by a bluegrass band or maybe even just acoustic.
