So far, the “Why The Hell Should I Like?” series done in collaboration with The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (which is now boasting a nifty new design) has worked out very well. Additionally, it is now seasonably appropriate to wear flannel, so it ties together better this time of year. He got me to listen to (and appreciate) Rush , there’s still a few Field Music songs to check out, and I think I may have turned Mr. Suit into a Tribe Called Quest fan. My powers of persuasion are legendary-well, […]

Why the Hell Should I Like… Kiss?
“Why the hell should I like… ?” is an experiment of sorts between Popblerd and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit . What we’re going to attempt to do is to pick 10 songs from our favorite artists — one for which the other has professed dislike or disinterest — and show them why they’re wrong.

Why the Hell Should I Like… post-’Thriller’ Michael Jackson? (The Rebuttal)
“Why the hell should I like… ?” is an experiment of sorts between Popblerd and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit . What we’re going to attempt to do is to pick 10 songs from our favorite artists — one for which the other has professed dislike or disinterest — and show them why they’re wrong. I can’t say exactly why I have never sat down and listened to much of Michael Jackson’s post-Thriller music. It’s not as if he released a ton of records in […]
Moonlighting: Why the Hell Should I Like…Rush? (on Gray Flannel Suit)
About a week and a half ago, our buddy Chris presented me with a list of ten Rush songs to listen to. This list was made to suck me into the dark side give me a greater appreciation of the Canadian rock giants. Being not too familiar with their music (with the obvious exception of “Tom Sawyer”, I was pretty intrigued to check out their music. So…what did I think? Well, head on over to Gray Flannel Suit and check out my “rebuttal”, Did […]
