Call Me from Abu Dhabi

Imagine, if you can, two twin brothers with long flowing blonde hair, clad in leather and possibly bare chested... Sounds like a scene out of some raunchy romance novel or even the front cover imagery.
However, if you couple that with some less than epic ballad lyrics, you are in for a musical encounter with NELSON. Still can't picture it? Don't worry, there is photographic evidence of this crap.



Nelson formed in the 1990's and are probably best know for their song "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection". They descend from Harriet & Ozzie Nelson, and Rick Nelson, and you would think with so much musical history in their family tree they maybe able to write better lyrics than "When you are done with being his Plan B, call me".


Unfortunately, these guys sound like nothing more than a bad Bon Jovi rip-off with an obsession with naming their albums after poor weather, "Before the Rain", "After the Rain", "The Perfect Storm" AND "Lighting Strikes Twice"... way to be creative.

Surprisingly these two are still making music and just released an album in 2010. Normally things get better with age, this is not the case with NELSON. The only thing that has changed is the length of their hair and the size of their waistlines.


For all these reasons and more, I would like to submit NELSON for a trip to Abu Dhabi.
