Post by: AmericanBastard on 15 October 2003, 08:51: When you speak of rush and geddy lee...those are a band and a soloist...if you follow me

Geddy can play bass, synth, sing and back himself up with the biggest arrangement of foot pedals you've ever seen, the rest of rush was only there so he wouldn't get lonely...if you want to talk about musical genius, though in a very modern sense, I would have to say that geddy was like the 80's and 90's version of chopin or Mozart...a very talented and educated man when it came to music...If you're looking for profoundness and meaning, then you can't refuse to acknowledge greats like the Irish U2 or the Brit Sting...incredible is th only word that comes to mind for me...but then again, I listen to anything, all music (except Boy Bands or Prince that shits annoying). If you want to look at greats then the modern day standard has to be groups like them. Example, Boston, when was the last time they put out an album....but when they do...ALWAYS a hit...

Post by: hm_murdock on 15 October 2003, 11:14: I've never heard of the Beetles, but I have heard of the Beatles.

but it doesn't matter, because Van Halen with Sammy Hagar or DLR along with STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN would kill them all.

oh, don't forget Chicago, before and after Terry Kath. True, after Kath died they made mostly power ballads... but they were badass ballads. And then, after Pete Cetera split, they managed to reclaim some of their old sound.

Post by: jasonlane on 15 October 2003, 13:23: Rainbow, Deep Purple, Hendrix (how could you forget James Marshall Hendrix), Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, The Cure anyone?

Peter Cetera now that's the sound of the 80's, great I love it. I'll break out my pastels and deck shoes.

I have to say though Cahult, Madonna is a pop whore.

My list, w/out order or explanations:
Sonic Youth
Pixies
Public Enemy
The Clash
Bikini Kill
Ramones
Replacements

I thought he said "cheated" instead of "had", but i sure wasnt there. It was Johnny Lydon (Rotten), somewhere in the US (Texas maybe?), confirming that he was nothing more than a victim in the great rock and roll swindle of Malcolm McLaren.

Yes, i know the Sex Pistols were a joke, formed factory-style much like the Backstreet Boys. But they gave a voice to legions of alienated youth, and that kinda means something, I think.

Now, you are making me unsure. Was it "cheated" or "had"? If someone has a tape of this so we can settle this please tell us the real word. The real joke about Sex Pistols is when they decided to make a comeback. The Clash, there you have some real heroes. I haven

Post by: suselinux on 17 October 2003, 07:01: Chemical Brothers (http://www.chemicalbrothers.net/)

The Chemical brothers have a new album out, singles 1993-2003. The same as Linux!!

Daft punk (http://www.virginrecords.com/daft_punk/index2.html)

Underworld (http://www.underworldanthology.com/)

Square pusher (http://www.squarepusher.com/)

The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk are very importatnt because they were the ones to bring Techno into the mainstream.

I just really like Underworld and Square pusher. they haven't really changed anything, although the movie Hackers had alot of Underworld music in it.

Holy crap, I dont think Screeching Weasel and Marilyn Manson have ever been mentioned together in the same context.

You know, I remember the last time somebody started this thread, and almost every response included some reference to Powerman 5000. Glad that bullshit's over with.

Post by: Fett101 on 18 October 2003, 00:55: And there's always those who listen to "real" music and don't mind telling you exactley what it is and isn't.

"What? You don't listen to *name of some 'out there' band*. I'm sorry, but that immediately negates any opinions you may have on music because I AM A JACKASS!"

He and Fran Drescher should do a duet. They could do "These are the days of our lives" by Queen or "My way" (the Sinatra version, not Sid Vicious)
