AC/DC, Bryan Adams, & Aerosmith

We started off the year with AC/DC's The Razor's Edge. This oldie was recorded in 1990, when my GramCat was just a kitten. Whoever designed the album cover must have hired a cat to create that killer slash! 
I really liked "Thunderstruck," but "Fire Your Guns" made me jump off the back of the couch (my favorite spot to lounge while listening to music) every time they shot off those rounds. Also, I don't think I really understood the point of "Got You by the Balls," since I haven't had any of those for a long time.

The next album up was Bryan Adams' 18 'til I die. The best track on this disc is "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You." My person grabbed the turkey baster and pretended it was a microphone as she sang along and danced around the kitchen, but all I wanted her to do was to sit down in the Comfy Chair so I could look good sitting on her. By the way, "Black Pearl" will remind you of every little coal kitty you've ever romanced.

The rest of the afternoon was filled up with a collection of Aerosmith's stuff. I thought I'd like A Little South of Sanity, because it had a pig on the CD, but then I saw the slogan, "Fried on a Stick." Now, I'm no pig-lover, but that's just sick!
Get a Grip and Pump were full of wondermous classic Aerosmith. Steven Tyler must have been a Tomcat in a former life, 'cause his wails are clearly the "call of the wild" from a Tom to his lady love. However, I just had to leave the room after my person put on Honkin' on Bobo, Aerosmith's misdirected stab at a blues album. The first two cuts, "Road Runner" and "Shame, Shame, Shame" were pretty good, but when that Tyler guy launched into "Never Loved a Man (Girl)," it was just pathetic. Aretha Franklin owns that song, and nobody else should even attempt it.

Peace Out!
