You aren't. A friend of mine considers himself "amusical". He just doesn't "get" music, and it holds no attraction for him. Where others hear music, he hears noise.

Funny thing is, this band knocked out some half-dozen charting singles in the 3 or 4 years they were relevant. Erstwhile singer Jani Lane has said numerous times that he despises "Cherry Pie" or, more specifically, the fact that he's remembered more for that song than any other. For (or despite) being pop-metal, Lane had some talent and could write a hit in his sleep if he'd get off the booze and the blow. I was never a fan of theirs (my friends and I wrote them off as bubblegum the first time around) but they're alright in a nostalgic way from this retired metalhead's vantage-point in the same way I give George Michael credit for the same thing, even though I personally have no use for that type of music.
Okay, so noted. You'll probably have a better reaction to Warrant if you like that genre to begin with. It's possible I missed stuff I might appreciate, since I didn't exactly pass close attention to what they and bands like them were doing. I largely skipped over metal and dove into prog rock. I liked early Deep Purple (think Book of Taliesyn) far better than the later "best appreciated on downers" work, and preferred Jimmy Page's work in the Yardbirds to most of Led Zeppelin.

My example of bubblegum metal is probably the Sweet, but they are rather more in that direction than Warrant.

So what's her problem? She clearly "gets" great music.

Indeed. And I'm sure it would explain the red faces and the very rapid attempt to look more decorous, too!

It did put me off asking a colleague why she was carrying around a length of chain though...

you missed an opportunity to 'dig deeper' and change that redness into something more colourful.
