This month’s BotM is Poison. Look how I got right to the point there!
Yeah, so Poison. Chances are pretty good that you’ve heard of them. I mean, come on. Who hasn’t heard “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” sometime in their life? Hippies, that’s who. And you know what I think about hippies. Well, maybe also someone who never attended a junior high dance between now and the eighties. But what are the chances of that?
Anyway, if you know Poison, there are basically two possibilites: you love them or you hate them. I’ve taken notice over my many years that there exist two breeds of people in the world: those that love 80’s music and those who hate 80’s music. And generally, when you hate 80’s music, you hate the 80’s on the whole. But how you could hate the 80’s is far beyond me. That decade brought us so much, including hair bands, the NES, and everybody’s favourite webmaster. There’s a lot more, but those are clearly the most important ones.
But back to Poison for a moment. I very much adore the band, as they take the basic rock n’ roll formula and make it their own by adding in plenty of bluesy/country twists and great music. Not to mention that they’re just plain fun to listen to. If you need a quick rock-out, pop in some Poison and you’re good to go. I know there’s a lot more to say, like how lead singer Brett Michaels is a judge on “Nashville Star,” but frankly, I really want to go play some video games right now, so I’m going to wrap it up.
This’ll probably go on record as the shortest BotM post ever, but that’s okay. I got my point across. I like Poison, I think you should listen to Poison. If you don’t like them, then that’s too damn bad. You’re missing out on some good times. So that’s the end of that. I’ll see you around. Later.
