Reply #25: for the most part I do not like his music [View All]

okay, there is alot of it that I hate, but in this day of ipods when I have not really listened to radio for four years, I do not have to listen to it any more.
Why not like his music - who has a choice really about what they like, but I would say, for me, it is too mellow and bluesy. Also I am not fond of cocaine as a drug, or as something to sing about. Another example would be his old hit song "rock and roll heart" - "I get off on a 57 chevy, I get off on a screaming guitar ... I've got a rock and roll heart." Only that song is not rock and roll. There are no screaming guitars. It is far more like a Bette Midler or Barry Manilow song than it is a Van Halen or Dokken song. It ain't what I call rock and roll. Most of his radio hits are like that - Leila, You look wonderful tonight. Mellow ballads, he's like a male Celine Dion without the intonation or vocal range.
