I have to say, I found this kind of inspiring.
I decided to clean out the skeletons in my own musical closet.
After all, who am I to judge Creed fans when I own every Sugar Ray album?
Can I really dis Scott Stapp when Ive willingly purchased a Jordan Knight CD?
I even got my fellow EW staffers to come clean with their secret stashes.
Leah Greenblatt: Oh god.
I love all the horrible grungey-come-lately 90s anthems, with their horrible horrible fridge-magnet lyrics.
Is it about soap?
I am fired now?
Mike Bruno:Hell, that aint even embarrassing how about TWO Slaughter records and TWO Skid Row records.
I was a total Slave to their Grind.
Jeremy Medina:I want to play, too!
One word, three syllables, folks: Nickelback.
Also kindly notice the key words in that sentence: Multiple.
Whitney Pastorek:kindly.
My entire record collection is shame.
I own the MOVIE.
I love mainstream country, for crying out loud.
I have Peter Ceteras autograph.
I once drove to San Diego to see Huey Lewis.
And I can legitimately call Amy Grant a formative influence.
Do you think Im joking when I heap praise on Hall & Oates?
(Hint: No.)
by much derided UK rap-rockers Pop Will Eat Itself to be one of the greatest singles of all-time.
Alan Moore/Knows the score?
They were right in 1989, and theyre right now.
Plus, singer Clint Mansell now does the music forDarren Aronofskys movies.
So, you know, up yours.
Phew, we feel better already!
What about you, Music Mixers?
Did you wear a Kottonmouth Kings t-shirt or vote for Willa Ford onTRL?
Its okay to share.
This is a safe place.
