Man...I was with you all the way until....Aretha Franklin? oh no, no, no...tell me it isn't so.

Sarge

She doesn't do much for me either. But I do like Ella and Sarah.

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

The King,
For me he don't do a thing.

[Jay F]

Man...I was with you all the way until....Aretha Franklin? oh no, no, no...tell me it isn't so.

Sarge

For years, I felt obligated to like her, or else I had to turn in my Good Taste Card. But I just don't. The first, and only, album I liked by her was Who's Zoomin' Who?. I used to switch stations when "Respect" or "Chain of Fools" came on the radio during the '60s.

I agree with most of this, though I find I enjoy the songs I've heard from Prince and Metallica much more than most in their respective genres.

Prince? Who doesn't like Prince. He's amazing.  0:)

[Jay F]

I don't dislike him, but I've never felt inspired to buy anything by Prince.

[Sergeant Rock]

Queen

And I thought you and I had absolutely nothing in common...but there it is! 

I'm going to change my list to reflect that.

Sarge

[mn dave]

Queen is like the '70s Beatles. Sort of.

[Sergeant Rock]

Queen is like the '70s Beatles. Sort of.

Yeah, like late Beatles, the period I'm not particularly fond of except for bits and pieces.

That's all I can think of for the moment - don't do the hatin' thing too well

You don't like Monk?!  You are dead to me, dead! 

[Sergeant Rock]

Isn't that considered treason where you live? 

Sarge

[Night Vision]

Isn't that considered treason where you live? 

Sarge

pretty much! 

[mn dave]

It's treason everywhere if you claim to like rock.
