I really can't think of any new music I've heard where I just *have* to get the CD. The last group that I can think of where I bought more than one CD is Matchbox 20. I don't even know how long they've been around. I first got hooked on this band when I saw them in Detroit early in their career. I don't know, was that 10 years ago? Already? I have no idea. It seems any CD's I purchase have just been replacements for my album collection. And even some of these are either hard to find or way out of my price range for what I'd pay for a CD. For instances, The Baby's Head First CD, try finding that one!! Well, I did find it on ebay but the guy selling it wanted $50.00!! Hello?? I love the music from the 70's. Even the cheezie stuff (and also the 50's, & 60's). My brother calls me the queen of cheese whenever I sing, 'Billy don't be a hero' (nevermind). And also the hair bands in the 80s. Even the one hit wonders back then had more style than the one hit wonders now. It's just all crap. Shitney Spears? Are we really going to be talking about her in a blog post 30 years from now? Yawn.

What songs are good by them, deb? I’ve heard a few people mention Good Charlotte before. What songs are good by them, deb?

I used to listen to the latest heavy metal station all the time. Over the years, it started to drag. A few good new songs here and there, but mostly just beatin' the drum. Now I listen to jazz most of the time, with some classical and classic rock thrown in here and there. Dare I say it, I have no idea what Korn has been up to for the last five years.
