Can't imagine anyone with this view on rock n roll.

Sad, sad times.

I'd say one hit wonder refers to the band, not to the song.

Is 'big water' not a thing?

Having been to Big Lake in Texas on multiple occasions, I can confirm that there is no water there.

Do what you feelz, imo. I've gone down lottsa rabbit holes myself but have found surprisingly little that is iPod-worthy, but I'm always on the lookout.

Think that was the point; i.e. can't label Oasis a one-hit-wonderwall due to them having multiples hits.

Kid rock would stomp that pussay Vanilla ice in a street fight - cuz he's a cowboy bay-bee

I can jokingly dance to that Kid Rock / Sweet Home Alabama song but I cannot jokingly dance to that Vanilla Ice / Queen song.

Wife had a distant cousin that was employee #5 or 6 at Research In Motion which was the original legal name for the Blackberry. All this news today had me thinking about that although nothing necessarily has changed.

At one point he was worth WELL into 9 figures and was part of a group trying to buy the Maple Leafs in the early 2000s. Hopefully he diversified a bit.

I raise.

My uncle was (at the time) the youngest partner at Goldman Sachs. Kinda obscene what retired full partners receive yearly.

So last night we're nursing a 2 goal lead late in the third period of our bottom-of-the-barrel 3-on-3 beer hockey league.

The other team's super star (wearing a classic Pavel Bure jersey) roofs one on me to make it a one goal game. I approach the scorekeeper to confirm how many goals Bure has and he says "Three, he's maxed out and can't score any more", and I inform our bench to play accordingly.

So the next shift we lay off him and key on the other players instead. We leave him completely unchecked and allow him to skate in on me, where I also completely ignore him and instead key on the other shooters. And yet he shoots anyways and puts one off my toe. Um, ok, not exactly sure what his plan is here, perhaps attempting to create a rebound? We all completely ignore him again and I feel another one of his shots go off my arm. When he does this a third time and bounces one obliviously off my blocker, I start to become a little suspicious.

So on the next whistle, I ask the scorekeeper again "Bure's maxed out, right?". Scorekeeper checks his pad and then says, "oh my bad, nope, he's only got two; he can still score".

Is that Pavel Bure Canada or Pavel Bure Texas? I know my ice hockey and my roller hockey but I'm not familiar with beer hockey teams.

I'm assuming a play on Paris but I'm not sure?

Ok I'll do a few of my 2021 favorites. I don't think any will be on the iPod.

First up is Nation of Language. Throwback Joy Division/New Order sound. Garlick may even like them. Seeing them live in April

Yup, never heard of them but certainly hear the Joy Division / New Order vibe (although honestly only the one obvious song appears on the iPod to date).

I wasn't even going to dignify it but glad I wasn't the only one with raised eyebrows

I don't know OS age but I would guess that for people of a certain age a few Oasis songs certainly fit that definition. Ofc need to define what "best in history" means...50? 100? 500? etc

JD-Love Will tear Us Apart

or

NO-Blue Monday

Which is it?

i'm getting flock of seagulls vibes as well

don't get me wrong, i like it new order/joy division and i like that song you posted, but i also like flock of seagulls - but let's be honest, if you compared a band to flock of seagulls instead it would just immediately discarded as a crap band

just add a duh nuh nuh nuh with a guitar riff in head at any point and it's right there

Love Will Tear Us Apart >>> Blue Monday (not hating on Blue Monday, just that Love Will Tear Us Apart >>> pretty much anything by anybody).

Had not heard of before. Definitely dig it. Sadly, their tour is coming nowhere near here. If I was still in Indy, I'd definitely check them out at the cavernous "Hi Fi."

Only new stuff I found last year:





Clearly, my pony is slow.

Sure, Paris and also Italy, Athens, Florence, Palestine, London, New London, Egypt, Odessa, Pavel Bure, China, Dublin, Ireland, Turkey, Boston, Canadian, Cleveland, Columbus, Colorado City, Denver City, Detroit, Klondike, Pittsburg, Edinburg, Memphis, Miami, Newark, Nevada, Pasadena, Reno, Santa Fe, Tennessee Colony, Texas City, Earth, Mars, Venus, and I'm sure some others.

Part of it is that Oasis wasn't as big in America as elsewhere and part of it was that I used the word rock to describe their music. If you want to be narrow about it, Oasis' music is mid-90s britpop which is probably -if not my favorite- among my top 3 favorite musical genres. If you want to be less narrow, it's pop rock. Even less narrow, rock.

@ G

First one I could see being in your wheelhouse, but second one... I would not have guessed that.

GcluelessoldsnoobG

same, i genuinely think it's more likely gman was slow to the copying of the url and it'd already moved onto next song before - this has been known to happen before and to myself as well

It’s hard to exaggerate how big Oasis were in the mid 90s in the UK ..as well as the other big UK bands at the time like Pulp and Blur and to a lesser extent Verve, Suede, Supergrass. I’m not sure that the term Britpop accurately describes the music but it was very definitely a moment in time in the country
