Slade: the Collection, '79-'87. Great as their rough-and-ready 70s songs are, in my opinion the quality of their output didn't decrease one bit during their slightly glossier 80s comeback. They were always one of the greatest good-time, good-humored rock and roll bands, and this is the rare two-disc anthology that is worth the extra disc.
I watched the video of "Run Runaway" just a few days ago, and it reminded me of a friend who looked like Noddy Holder! Unfortunately, he took offense when I told him that.

He's aged a lot better than anyone in the Stones. Then again, who hasn't?

Speaking of good-time sounds:
Marcia Ball's Let Me Play With Your Poodle (1997)
Now it always makes me think fondly of my pal, C... who was devoted to his cats and his standard-size poodle. He was also the guy who insisted on getting me so drunk on my 30th birthday that I literally could not stand up.
He passed away 12 years ago. I still miss him.

Each response I try and type out here sounds worse than the last, so never mind.

But wasn't the whole point of posting that unflattering photo to make fun of them?
Go on, post!
And by the way, this thread is still technically on topic, because I listened to their first album recently for the first time in years. It sounds very dated.

I can't. I used up all my free-floating hostility against Nickelback last week.

He might have been reacting to Holder's goofy antics in the "Run Runaway" video. In my view, Holder and the rest are having such a good time, who cares if they're goofy or not?

I love lots of Apocalyptica songs, but my current favorite is Not Strong Enough.
There are two versions, one by Brent Smith of Shinedown, and one by Doug Robb of Hoobastank. I like the Doug Robb version better.
I Don't Care, S.O.S. and I'm Not Jesus are also pretty awesome. Who knew cellos could rock so hard?

Lots of good stuff on the Time album. My favorite is Twilight. Rain is Falling, Yours Truly 2095, etc. are also awesome.
