Reading comp. failure. I agree re. the Beatles, critics don't agree.

My "taste" would include the Yanks Beefheart, Hendrix and the Stooges but also the Germans CAN, Canucko Neil Young and Brits Eno and Radiohead (and many others).

Anyway, the Stones 68-72 are clearly the best rock band ever. I really think anyone disagreeing with this is not very musical. (CAN, Eno and post-OKC Radiohead aren't really rock bands per se).

Shocked to see BrianTheMick2 being a douche.

Things that make America great:

Watermelon Queen:



Wiener Dog Races:



Real Music:

I'm probably going to have to explain this one slowly, but to my Euro brethren, from left to right in the front, you have a Guitarist, a Singer, and a Bass Player. In the back is something called a Drum Kit, which makes a bunch of noise by someone called a Drummer.

I know you probably think the apex of talent is pressing "play" on a $50,000 attached to a MacBook Pro, and you may even think these are marionettes, but I assure you that these things called "musical instruments" do exist. You all gotta come to the states and check out something called a "band." It's really cool.

A+

Ya I feel ya on that. They are one of those bands that no matter what I've heard from them I've always liked it, although I never heard their country stuff (maybe it was just Mic doing country) and I'm sure I havn't heard all of their music. The only band that comes to mind like that is AC/DC. Most bands have plenty of meh songs whereas these 2 bands just stir something up in me.

I could entertain the argument for the Peppers but Greenday, their good but just not that good imo. As much as I love Peppers they still have a lot of crap in their library. I have 1 cd by them that is almost like an album full of throwaway songs tho I think it's an early one.

Froegg,


doing something that others have already done is following example, not setting it.

The Peppers w/o John Frusciante isn't all that good. He quit, came back, and quit again, plus Anthony Kiedis lost his voice. They really sound horrible today.

It's definitely worth killing 90 minutes to watch this:

I guess you could make this argument. The English bands took a small subset of the blues and designed their sound around the few albums that made it overseas.

It's like listening to Radiohead, The Cure, Gorillaz, Imogen Heap, and Dido, designing your sound around that, and saying your music is based on music from England. What about Blur, James, Tricky, Frou Frou, Unkle, Faithless...?

It's not the first thing I reach for, but it depends on how I'm feeling. I've developed a general preference for beer that is between 7% and 10%. Sierra Nevada doesn't have anything that strong.
