Treacy and June, I really enjoyed this list of bands. So fun and funny! I am a big music nut so this list really appeals to me. I must love Dan Fogelberg since I get excited when I see doilies. :)
Ha! You must have been writing that comment just as I was sending you the list. Talk about being on top of things!
Glad you got a smile out of this!

(P.S. I'm hoping this will be the impetus for a support group for the seemingly rampant doily disorder.)
These are hilarious! Thanks for the good laugh.
Thanks!
This cracked me up - thanks!
For a children's book author, you have a delightfully twisted sense of humor! Glad you got a kick out of this.
If I'd seen the original viral email, would I be in a better position to understand why being male or female has anything to do with what your favourite band says about you, aside from trivialities like where the rose tattoo is located?
There are no bands on this list that I've ever bought an album from, which is not surprising. (Me? Classic Rock? I don't think so.) The closest would be Celtic Woman, of which I have a pair of DVDs, but those were gifts and not my own acquisitions. (Also: Celtic Woman? Classic Rock? I don't think so.)
We were just inspired by a funny e-mail and needed a new spin -- female -- to allow us to riff on it.
I'm not much of a classic rock person, either. But it does lend itself to comedy in a way that other genres don't. (What could you say about a Donna Summer fan that would humorously distinguish them from a K.C. and the Sunshine Band fan. I know, I know: not your genre either. But you see my point!)
