What about Penthouse Pauper???

In all honesty, the most embarassing thing I have there is "Kid Rock", but for some reason a few of his songs are decent at getting me pumped up. So come on now, list a few of yours so I can be the critic!

My next door neighbor in my apartment building is playing her music loud tonight. Seeing all of the wine bottles in the recycling bin, I can understand why she likes loud music. Tonight it's John Denver. "Colorado Rocky Mountain High" has played several times already. I like it, though. I miss John Denver.

The Pogues, Dead Kennedys, Dead Milkmen, Flogging Molly, The Casualties, Real McKenzies, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Tossers, Iron Maiden, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Wierd Al, Capercaillie, Metallica, Saratoga, Angeles del Infierno, La Tropa F, Michael Salgado, Selena, Rata Blanca, Lorena McKinnet, Motorhead, Jethro Tull, Bach, Brahms, Orff, Mozard, that russian composer whose name I can't seem to remember how to spell, Verde, Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Adicts, Oi Polloi, Williams...
