Hmm. Heavy on the instrumental hip-hop/electronica this time. I have added a shitload of it the last few months. Hey, did you know Clutch just came out with a new one a few weeks ago?

Yes, I've got some Cinderella in my collection. I'm not ashamed! Honestly, I always felt they were basically just a blues-rock band that went along with the ubiquitous style of the MTV generation. A decade earlier, and they might have been taken seriously and had some longevity. That song in particular will always be special to me: I was watching the video on MTV one day in the living room, and my mom poked her head in, listened to Tom Keifer's voice, and said, "We're getting you a tv in your room." Thanks, Tom!

Ha, I did a double-take on the Cinderella there. I've been listening to a fair amount of hair metal lately, and thinking of a mini-list of some of the more unfairly maligned bands from that era. Cinderella was kind of in the middle of the pack, solid blues-rock sound, but I never could stand Tom Keifer's voice. I can see where it might convince parents to kick down for an extra tv. Good deal.

Well, that sounds like something that needs to turn into a post itself. I haven't read much about hair bands since Metal Sludge turned into a shit site after Stevie Rachelle came out as the brains behind the operation and fired whoever he had doing most of the writing.
