The Hudson Valley Squares: Songs That Suck From Bands We Love

Takeaways from tonight's episode: 1. Chris A., Chris C., Ryan and Sydney plus Jaime Laslo and Craig Kaminsky in the house. (Apologies if I spelled the guests names wrong) 2. "I got the Chris Alo thing going on" 3. "...there are two separate assholes who are playing flute and recorder" 4. "There is a whole orchestra of shit on this song" 5. "It's a symphonic sack of shit" 6. "It feels like it's six months long" 7. "If you got one - you've got to collect them all" 8. "I told him (Nick) he was on crack for picking this song" 9. Chris Alo sings "Changes" and its impossible not to laugh and smile... 10. "...the turd burger in between two buns of steel" 11. "Craig's had a lot of coffee tonight" 12. "Are we really gonna act like Kelly Osborne is a singer?" 13. "I'm gonna tear this motherfucker apart" 14. Maiden Math 15. Symphony of Suck 16. "The reason you cry is because you spent money to buy this garbage" 17. "Paul Stanley touched you in a bad place" 18. Hairy Bum ??? 19. "I'm kinda creeping myself out" 20. The aunt you got a boner for... 21. Auntie "side boob" glimpse by the pool... 22. "He's definitely not gonna answer now!" 23. "I sense a trend here..." 24. "...a dog shit version of a shit song" 25. "...a string arrangement from hell" 26. "Michael Keaton" 27. "Douchebag" 28. Wow! A Shout out to me from Pete. The answer to your question: I only watch the show once, but I pause and rewind often as I take down notes. An hour show will take me about an hour and a half to watch. 2 hour shows are brutal now that I am back working...but I can't let you down, lol. As for the topic: 1. The only song by Led Zeppelin that I never cared for was "The Battle Of Evermore" 2. The Exodus song I do not care for is their cover of "Low Rider" Finally, I love Rush but only listen to their first 10 albums. The one song on those 10 albums that I don't care for will surprise most peoplw- its "Fly By Night" I don't hate it, I just don't care for it and will sometimes skip over it.

1:07:52 If this show was a 1980s sit-com on TV, Chris Alo is one those characters where the audience applauds as soon as he comes on set...

I absolutely love "Rainbow Eyes", but Craig's rant was priceless! 😂

This show (and channel) deserves to be way more popular than it is. This was a great one.

When Pete mentions 'Is this love" and you see Sidney's heart break lol

I look forward to the Hudson Valley Squares every week. It's become one of my favourite shows :) Another great show. Thank you!

This is one of the funniest Hudson Valley Squares show ever.

I had a really crappy work day today, but at least I'll go to sleep happy having watched this episode. Holy shit this was funny and the picks were awesome. Thanks everyone, see ya on the next one!

Great show. Gotta bring the topic to Prog Seat too!

This might have been the funniest episode in the history of the Hudson Valley Squares! Chris and Craig are hilarious!!!

That was the best episode in a while! Super quotable! The episodes talking about things you guys don't like are probably the best cause they lead to such priceless rants!

Great show. All of the co- hosts. Chris ALO in HOF for pure laughs” LMAO. 👍💯

An Epic Episode....just when some good laughs were needed comes the Hudson Valley Squares with the sing-along turdburger episode. Cannot thank all of you enough for your time and sharing some of your least favorites with us but a special shout-out has to be given to the Oedipal therapy session where Chris Alo becomes the therapist for Jamie Lazlo. Will be laughing about that for days. And if the time ever comes when someone makes a show of the best of the HSV, there is no doubt that everyone on this show will have an excerpt included from this episode. Thanks again.

Everyone was on fire tonight! Some of the songs picked I happen to love, but that's cool - you all had me laughing SO hard... and I do mean every single person on the panel! Fantastic episode!!!

Love Changes, She's Gone, Shandi and Is This Love, all great ballads. However I still enjoyed the episode.

Great to see you back Sydney! Loving metal from the inside!

We need Jamie and Chris to be in every Hudson Valley Squares.

These are always fun shows, always interesting to hear the crew shredding, but to hammer bands they love makes it even better.

Great show. Chris Alho being the Ace that he always is! Sydney is always great. Ryan keeps you guessing where you will end up at a show. Basements. Alleys. I love it.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Dio ballads. Say what you will about how ferocious Ronnie's voice was, he had an unparralled tenderness to his voice that I've always loved. I remember trying to get one of my girlfriends, whose heaviest favorite band was Jethro Tull "Songs From The Wood" era, to admit that Metal was as intellectually stimulating as whatever classical or jazz album she was spinning at the time. I played her a Dio song and she said he had a feminine voice. I was a little shocked to agree with her but, it's that tenderness he evoked with some of the softer phrases in songs like "All The Fools Sailed Away", "Don't Talk To Strangers" (I'm pretty sure it was one of those songs she commented on) and of course the ballads he did like "Rainbow Eyes" and "Catch The Rainbow".
