I think he really really relates to Home Alone just for the title.

So, instead of doing actual work i need to do I decided to go through and tabulate all the punishments handed down by Essay. Not counted: prelim warnings (1 each) for BigD and Rod. Also, Essay was "

I'm assuming my jokes are valued at .77 of a man's.

What kind of terrible Iowan Republican can't even come up with more than one garth song? I hate actively garth brooks and I can sing like 15

 

I've always disliked country music even though it was the backbone of everything around me growing up. I know he's popular, and I know that I know the chorus to the song Rodeo, but there is zero chance I would have remembered it out of the blue. The only reason I know any country songs is because I had a roommate at Iowa State that was a massive (like two-step every Saturday night) country hick and he would play songs by the hundreds until he found something I could tolerate. There were a few Brooks and Dunn songs that I ended up liking, one Sammy Kershaw song, (someone named R-Something Atkins or something similar also had a song I liked) and a few Clint Black songs. That was basically the list and I've never listened to another country song or station by choice since that time (around 1995).

I consider myself to be very eclectic, but I'm guessing most people do.

 

These are the things I listen to on a daily basis:

  • Orchestra music (mainly movie soundtracks)
  • Reggae (mainly The Fugees, Wyclef, Marley)
  • Soul (Mainly James Brown, but others as well)
  • Christian (Mainly Sovereign Grace Music and Whitecross (Heavy Metal), but many others as well)
  • Grunge (Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc)
  • Johnny Cash
  • Tom Petty
  • Bob Dylan
  • Random 80's and 90's stuff
  • Random oldies (pre-70's)
  • Limited 70's, but I like Led Zeppelin and a few others
  • Eminem (not much other hip-hop, but I do like several RTJ songs)
  • Alternative (I love the "old" stuff like The Cranberries, and the no longer new stuff like Band of Horses)
  • Folk (Old folk, like Peter, Paul and Mary & Dylan, and new folk like Passenger)

My favorite song by far is Knockin on Heaven's door. I must listen to about 30 covers of that song regularly. My favorite versions are as follows:

The Fugees are Reggae?

 

I don't know what they are officially classified.

 

 

Edit: "Their repertoire included elements of hip hop, soul and Caribbean music, particularly reggae."

Brvy, you may not know this, but 311 is from Omaha. I was in Jr High/High school when they hit big, and they were HUGE in Nebraska. I've hated them for like 25 years. There are few bands I hate more. Like Eagles, Aerosmith sort of hate.

I knew they were from somewhere nearby. I had always assumed Minneapolis because they got huge in my world around 1992-1993 when I was in Ames for school. It's funny, because I've always liked them, but hardly ever listen to them. I couldn't even tell you the name of a single album of theirs (unless they had one that was just 311), and I for sure couldn't tell you the name of a single track. But I had a friend from The Cities that loved them and I always enjoyed hearing them when he had them on. I also hate the Eagles and a lot of Aerosmith stuff (although I won't change the channel on a few of their songs).

That's really weird. Seth Rogan makes a ton of horrible movies, but I still like him a lot. I guess I've never noticed that before.

 

Anyone else have someone they really like who just produces absolute crap?
