I know Dave,......if I went on record as stating that I could "name that tune" in the first few seconds, I also have an idea of when that band first started making them. Even though there were a late 70's band, (as far as their popularity is concerned) the early-mid 80's is where they took off.
In reality, I'm an equal opportunity hater. I almost uniformly dislike something from every band. Some less, some way more than others. Alot of it isn't so much the band, as how much of that band I had to listen to in it's heyday. I was in the Audio-Video business for the last 36 years, so I pay more attention to it than most.
VH isnt so bad in the grand scheme of things when compared to the likes of Cinderella, or Motley Crue, or Poison, or Ratt, or any band with the word "white" in their name.
