Dee, I am kind of cursing elJay right now, because it ate my totally long response to your awesome comment - which was not annoying in the least, love to get a window into your soul via your music picks!
I was making the point about Springsteen and the Police that I got into them kind of before I had boyfriends, so I didn't really see them as principally sexual beings then, and I was LOLing at your mom thinking Bruce was hot and thus you being put off him!
Although, when the Police played the Island last year, Stingo and all the lush and glorious 56 years of him TOTALLY MADE MY OVARIES EXPLODE, hello. (It amuses me that there is a span of 30 years between my oldest rockstar love and my youngest, hee. It makes me feel less shallow.)
Loved your description of Invisible Sun, btw - "slightly askew, it was always something of a punch in the gut"; exactly, perfect.
U2 - will you think any less of me if I told you Bullet in the Blue Sky was my personal sexing song of the early 1990s? I love them beyond all reason, ever since The Joshua Tree, and they have just gotten better and better with age (unlike many others, including, sad to say, Bruce).
Coldplay's latest album OWNS me, and OLP always makes me think. Cook, well, he makes thunder and lightning happen for me whenever he opens his mouth, yo.
And, didn't realise you were Canadian! Motherendurance has been introducing me to lesser known Canadian musicians: Moxy Fruvous (My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors) and the Tragically Hip, whom you love too (Ahead By a Century)!
I looove Concrete Blonde - Joey was my 1990s breakup song of choice! Thanks for the links, bb, I'd forgotten how kickass awesome Napolitano's voice was!
I had not heard much of the Verve or any of MGMT, so thanks for the reccs; I can see why they make you want to dance! And I'm kind of all about the dancing too (though less often now I'm ooold), so huge win!
Thanks so much for playing, bb! We sound like we're around the same age (a decade or so older than fair David, to borrow jtovdm's phrase) - so us dinosaurs need to hang out together. ;)
