    Wow. How can I begin to explain this. I share a dorm with two other people and in the room of one, the internet connection doesn't work. So he often uses mine. I have the typical favorites window open on the left side of the screen and this forum, of course, is one of them. Being I'm a lazy stereo typical college student :) I stay logged into various sites facebook, myspace, and this site pretty much the whole time. Which of course gave him the ability to breach my account. I do take full responsibility of the circumstance and will take proper precautions to make sure that it won't happen again. Its a public forum, and I'm one that has multiple younger siblings and I do not deem this appropriate to the slightest degree. Thanks to those who respectfully brought this up to me in private.


    Funnily enough, I agreed with him, on the Rush point. :D

    The Ramones were dreary dogpoo.

    the most overrated "punk" band ever, besides the Sex Pistols.

    I preferred The Sex Pistols to The Clash. Earnest, over-politicised whiney tosspots. :D

    I hate most of The Clash's punk stuff. Strummer was a fucking hypocrite who should never have gone near politics. They were pretty good when they tried being creative. I certainly like Train in Vain far more than anything the Pistols ever did.

    kid A made sense as an attempt to grow, experiment and avoid becoming repetitive. it wasn't any good but the change was bold. made you wonder where they'd go next. a decade later it sounds like nowhere. i'll keep listening out of habit but my expectations are at perry farrell-ish lows.

    dinosaur jr's best albums are not from the jay/lou/murph years.

    paul westerberg hasn't lost a step.

    frank black's teenager of the year is better than any pixies album.

    farrar > tweedy but wilco > son volt.

    nails on a chalkboard > rush.

    brian johnson > bon scott.

    hood > cooley.

    chloe/crown was love bone's one and only good song.

    hagar = roth.

    U2 and REM still make decent albums.

    stevie ray > jimi.

    the beastie boys have always been a novelty act.

    johnny cash is to ears what a dutch oven full of hot farts is to noses.

    The Rolling Stones are better than the Beatles.

    7 Mary 3 are vastly underrated.

    Creed's My Own Prison was a very good album.

    No Code is Pearl Jam's best work.

    Third Day made some very good albums, Christian or not.

    Jack White is the most talented man in rock today.

    The Who had a lot of crappy songs.

    The Grateful Dead's first album (self titled) was their best.

    Hole had a lot of really good songs.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd doesn't get the recognition they deserve.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Joni Mitchell's albums are fucking horrible. Stop singing prose, woman. Sing some verse, and cut out the wanky jazz-phrasing. It sounds utterly contrived, and I'm a jazz fan.

    I find it hard to sit through one of her album's but River is fucking brilliant. I dare you to disagree :)

    here's another unfashionable opinion: I have great respect for U2, especially up through Achtung Baby. Achtung Baby is a GREAT album. The Joshua Tree was overexposed, but the song writing on that album is some of the best in rock history. Everything before the joshua tree is fantastic 80s pop rock.

    I am happy when I hear the song Chasing Cars.
    ...I just wanna scream hello...
    No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Alllloooowed.

    I'll ride the wave, where it takes me.

    the Black Crowes are untalented hacks.

    I hate it. I had to sit in a car with my brother and his twenty year old daughter, listening to the fakking thing, recently. I was on the verge of chucking it out of the window.

    ill one-up you both and say that the entire punk genre SUCKS. iggy pop has a good song or two, but the rest of it is hyperactive boring crap with slurring attitude taking the place of intelligence, wit, talent, or anything else.

    in a similar vein, pearl jam's punk-inspired tracks suck horribly, and the band has been in a steady decline becos it has allowed ed to push the punk side too much rather than allowing the true strength of the band (stone and jeff's knack for amazing grooves) to shine.

    I agree with this. Sirius had an all Who channel for awhile when their new album came out. I was excited because I knew only Quadrophenia and their big hits. Sirius had (and brought back) an all Springsteen station and I had been really impressed with his catalog. I was hoping the same for the Who. I was not impressed with a lot of their deeper songs.

    I agree with this. Achtung Baby is the perfect example of a band experimenting and expanding their sound and it working on every level.

    While I don't think all of Pearl Jam's punk songs suck, I do agree one of the strength's of the band that is not utilized enough is fantastic grooves in the vein of Glorified G, etc.

    Syd Barret was overrated. If Roger Waters hadn't taken over song writing duties, no one would even know who Syd was.

    Intelligence, wit, talent and, above all, tunes in abundance.
