Music That Sucks 10.18.05

As the holidays get closer, the crap piles higher...

• Simply Red - Simplified (Simply…no!)
• Ashlee Simpson - I Am Me (Music to lipsync by…)
• Rod Stewart - Thanks for the Memory...The Great American Songbook: Vol. IV (This is not my father’s Rod Stewart… more likely it's my grandma’s Rod)
• Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass - Christmas Album (Apparently it’s a good day for grandma…)
• The Fixx - The Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Anthology (Anyone been wondering what they’ve been doing since 1983's “One Thing Leads To Another”?… anyone?... anyone?... Hello??)
• Various Artists - VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped Volume 2 - The Anthems (Revenge of the Hair Bands… uh, volume two???)
• Various Artists - Martha Stewart Living Music: Classical Music for the Holidays, Jazz for the Holidays and Traditional Songs for the Holidays (C’mon… this has GOT to be some kind of parole violation!)
