I just couldn't pass up these questions. And the topic is...
Bands
1. What's your favorite band?
The Scorpions... Well, duh!
2. Do you own all their albums? Unfortunately, no. There are a few albums that I've not been able to get my paws on yet, Crazy World and Best Of Rockers And Ballads. There is also a boxed set that I've not yet purchased. To make up for this, I own multiple copies of many of the albums that I do have: Unbreakable - One German imported limited edition CD and one American edition CD. Love At First Sting - One copy on vinyl and one on CD Big City Nights - One copy on CD and one on cassette. Worldwide Live - Two copies on CD because my original copy became unplayable, thanks to my dog! Deadly Sting - One and a half copies on CD. It's a two disc set and disc two of my original set got munched by my darling doggie.
3. Do you know all of the bands' member's names? Yep, every one of them, past and present! And now you're going to know them, too!

4. What is their most recent single? A web-only release called Miracle that I have not yet downloaded due to my miserable dial-up connection.
5. What genre is your favorite band? I've often heard them referred to as a hair metal band, but I prefer to call it classic kick-ass metal! What the hell does hair have to do with the music anyway?
