About a year ago I got their greatest hits CD, and burned into my iPod, and damn if I don't smile when one of their weak ass songs comes up on a random shuffle. <img height="239" src="http://www.fantasma.com/tours/gallery/images/Little%20RIver%20Band%20(colour).jpg" width="350" border="0" />

Bon Jovi all the way, I can't get enough.Their concerts are tre cheesey, which makes it even more fun.  Nothing better then seeing Jon Bon Jovi ask "is there a doctor in the house?" hold his hand to his ear, then go into Bad Medicine.

I don't mean to be a dick.. I know Rush are not for everyone but are far from a lame band... You could say the same thing about Radiohead... Not everyone likes them, but I would not use the word lame..   I think they were aiming more at cheesy type bands...  INXS, Culture Club, Wham etc

I'm not sure how many people will think they're lame, but I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan.  Not the late 60's blues-based Peter Green version, but the 70's Buckingham/Nicks era.

Hard songs like 16 blue, answering machine, and I will dare?Oh, come on.  I was clearly talking about the first album and EP, not any of the "heavier" songs on the later albums.  I shoulda said "when they were trying to be tuneless hardcore wannabe's."Paul Played bass and sang for the Beatles,were they lame?Paul often played many other instruments when with the Beatles...but still, it's a good point.  But I counter with his unspeakably lame solo career afterwards.  And that still just accounts for the 00.1% of singing bass players who managed to not suck.  I stand by my declaration!

Crap on a stick.My theory has been blasted to smithereens.  Everyone named since I was on last night do kick some serious ass...though Rush and their hippie-looking witch-hag, bass playing lead singer are still awful.  He gives the rest of these singing bass players a bad name.
