| Mr. Big did/does NOT suck and niether did Nelson (however, not being a fan of AOR I can excuse DeathCult's slander-but I expect better from you MB-j/k of course). |

| Well, to be fair I never did own an album from Mr. Big. I just hated the songs they released, so steered clear of them.
Nelson on the other hand - drew me with the songs they released. There were hooks. |

Give them a try then. Many of the Mr. Big fans around here also hated the singles, mainly To Be With You. |

| Funny, but I got a Mr. Big CD in the same yard-sale pile I spoke of earlier (where I also got the Nelson disc)...that song "To Be With You" always caused me physical pain but I figured it might make decent trade bait. Imagine my surprise when I played the disc and I actually liked some of it except for that godawful ballad. It's not a classic by any means but I enjoyed it enough to deem it a "keeper."
Meantime, the Nelson disc continues to languish on my trade list, it's been there almost as long as the fabled Michael Bolton disc was...

I hate that ballad, but do like the Mr Big disc, as for Nelson, the CD may come in handy as a drink coaster. |

At this point I may as well hang onto the Nelson disc till one or both of the brothers die in a plane crash or something, then I can eBay it and cash in

Well, I guess that settles it. I must track down that Mr. Big CD now. I'll prolly be able to get it at my local FYE for just pennies. They have tons of stuff for dirt-cheap. I will be surprised if I like it more than Nelson though. But we'll see.

Seriously, I was like "Ohhh, man, I can't believe I even bought this f**king thing? I hate that 'To Be With You' song! Oh well, may as well give it a chance..." and the rest of it was pretty decent hard rockin' stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. It's sorta like Van Hagar (with the added bonus of no Sammy Hagar). So if that's your kind of meat, I say have at it.
But hey, if your Nelson disc ever gets a scratch and you need a replacement, hit me up. I'll let it go cheap.

| Lightning Strikes Twice from Nelson is a very good release as well - it is much better than After the Rain. _________________ |

| Mr. Big, Nelson, and Night Ranger have all done real well this year. Maybe I'd add Warrant but it hasn't stuck with me well, need to give it a more intimate spin. |
