I hate grunge, I hate rap, I hate opera -- and I ain't exactly fond of bagpipe music, either!
Mister semi, I disagree that Whitney Houston made I Will Always Love You a huge success. More huge that it had been, certainly -- but Dolly Parton's original was a number-one country hit in June 1974. In October 1982, she topped the country chart with a new version of the song recorded for her movie The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. Her late 1995 duet recording of the song with Vince Gill reached #15 on the country chart and won a CMA award for "Vocal Event." Three hit versions, two number ones and a CMA award sound pretty successful to me.

David Byrne continues to do solo work, but now he sounds like a balloon having the air let out, so a reunion might not get you back to the days when they were great.
I regret being too young to see Chicago in concert when they had the original lineup. I should've grown-up quicker.

Yes, too soon. I'm reminded of the sick joke that was going around in the early 1980s after John Lennon was murdered. What will it take to get the Beatles back together? Three more bullets.
A line in the Statler Brothers' 1982 country hit A Child Of The '50s says, "When Elvis died, we knew that we could too." As time marches on and more and more of our favorite 1950s-60s-70s-80s pop singers die, I think we all become increasingly aware of our own mortality and start wondering if we will be next. Golly gee, now I'm depressed. Here is the song:
This oughta be good!

For fans of the Black Crowes, this news will be easy to handle.
I wasn't looking for them to reunite, but they were good back in the day, and they sounded good on Stern.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Both!
Seriously though, I'd love to see Oasis get back together. Hell if the Black Crowes can do it!!
