The Wimpiest Musicians of All Time They shouldn't really say "of all time." Brahms isn't on here and I heard he was a total baby.

I used to be SO into Fogelberg. . .but then I saw him a few years ago and it was, like, what was I THINKING?!?!?!?

Remember when people sued Judas Priest for making kids kill themselves? Denis Leary said "This is great. Does this mean I can sue Dan Fogelberg for making me into a pussy in the mid-70s? 'Your Honor, between him and James Taylor, I didn't get a blowjob till I was 27. I want some money, NOW!'"

It never occured to me that Fogelberg was someone you could be "into."

What, no Todd Rundgren? Guy rocks like a damp mop. Wussiest moment: "...and spend the night if you think I should." yeah, women find wishy-washy equivocation such a turn-on.

Rundgren's work on "Open My Eyes," with The Nazz affirms that the man is capable of rockin'.

"Ride the Lightning" should exempt Metallica, whatever their latter-day foibles might be.

On the other hand, I loaded Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan on my ipod last night and I am apologizing to no one for that!

Yeah...stay proud, danf! I love Donovan. Trudy rocks and I Love My Shirt is aces.

Didn't Rundgren produce XTC's Skylarking? That's my desert island album.

danf: I have not only Hurdy Gurdy Man, but Barabajagal, Season Of The Witch , Mellow Yellow, Catch The Wind and Atlantis (although that last one makes me have visions of a man being kick to death) (and about 10 covers of "Season.." by other artists) on my iPod. There is no shame in Donovan.

James Taylor starred in one of my favorite movies (alongside Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, no less) so he gets a pass. (There's no J.Taylor music in the film.)
