    Amazes me how all these “grunge heads” wanna mourn the day Cobain died….but they either don’t know Layne Staley or don’t realize he died on the same date

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Get you some Bach; it's better for your head and heart.

    Cream, they didn't last long but they sure burned bright.

    And they both are overrated in their own right.

    Tough crowd.

    Shawn, you are going to eventually get both, looks like no one likes Kiss so get those first if you're feeling rebellious.

    Jerry Cantrell is touring and I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert last year…

    Going with Metallica. The nostalgic memories of my childhood aren't enough to spend hundreds of dollars on stuff I'll probably be disappointed with. I was drinking when I posted the poll.

    Metallica. Probably top five favorite bands.

    However, Kiss, was one of my first ten albums I bought. Also, was my first rock concert. Snuck out with my best friend and his older brother. Face paint like Gene Simmons. Seattle, circa 1979-1980?? Contact high for sure. Looking back, getting caught, grounded for a month and an ass whooping was worth it.

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    CDs bro? You're rebuilding your outdated collection with another outdated collection.

    @ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.

    Still better than waiting for the government to decide what's on your Playlist.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    The best evidence that a conspiracy theory is true is the lack of evidence that a conspiracy theory is true. 😂

    Anything but Kiss. Skip CDs and get vinyls, most artists sit put out on vinyl

    Some artists don't even bother with cds anymore. Streaming and vinyl are where the money is at.

    Back in the late '60s the local radio station would play entire new-release albums with maybe one interruption. Recorded that on a reel to reel tape recorder.

    I remember as a kid having sat by the radio with a cassette tape recorder, waiting for good songs to come on so I could make my own mix tape. Horrible quality recordings but we thought it was the coolest tech.
