Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Or anything, really.

Their pizza is admittedly good, but it needs a different word because that's not loving pizza. At least California's abominations are still recognizably pizza that some perverted lunatic did horrible things to.

If they are too thin you're just drinking chocolate (or whatever flavor) milk with extra sugar. Also, some people like being challenged by their food.

Canada barely counts as "not America, " depending on what parts of Canada and America you guys are from/visiting there's a bigger culture shock going to a different state than going to and from Canada.

Boston had the best album (the first one), Toto were probably the best musicians, Foreigner had the best singer (Lou Gramm), but I think Journey had the best pop songs. They had the absolute worst video, though (the "Separate Ways" one where Jonathan Cain plays air keyboard).

I was into AOR for a while a few years ago but I can't remember exactly why. I think it's when I was trying to learn guitar and my interest waned when it became clear I would never be a proficient guitarist. If I was going to listen to an album from that genre, I'd listen to Pyromania by Def Leppard, but I've lost what taste I once had for it.

Toto were a surprisingly hardcore band. In addition to their copious cocaine use (for which Bobby Kimball was arrested in 1981, when he tried to sell some to an undercover cop), one of their little idiosyncrasies was a game they would play on their tour bus. You started at the back of the bus, and did a shot. You then needed to finish an entire beer while running from the front of the bus and back, and do another. If you failed, you had to do it again. While the bus was driving. And you couldn't spill any.

That song has the line "As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company" which infuriates me for some reason.

And apparently Steve Perry's girlfriend (Sherrie, the eponymous subject of his solo hit "Oh, Sherrie") was really horrible to the model in the video and spent all the time they weren't filming having terrible rows with Perry are generally exacerbating the unpleasantness of the experience for everyone.

quote:

Toto is amazing

I will tell you what Toto's problem was - Toto's problem was that they couldn't forge a distinct musical identity and stick to it. They played, arranged, wrote and produced songs for almost every major label record that came out of LA in the 1970s and 1980, and that meant they didn't have a "Toto sound" because so much of the "Toto sound" had become a hallmark so many other artists' records. On top of that, because they could play anything, they took it to mean that they should - that's why their second album couldn't capitalise on the success of "Hold the Line". It had three singles, each sung by a different singer and each in a different genre.

The Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms is extremely good, and the best/only way to listen to the title track is to play the entire album all the way through. This has been my dadrock opinion.
