Kind of entertaining, but peaked pretty early for me. | ||

Prime example of the deterioration in the quality of popular music thru the ages. | ||

My expectations, image based only, were pretty low. Then I read youn's comments. Meh. Maybe a beer or 2 later and boredom will make me look. 46- I can get seriously depressed thinking about how kids of the current gen and even 2,3 back now don't know even good music, let alone great music. I missed Big Ears this past weekend, along with Kronos Quartet, Bill Frisell, Laurie Anderson, tUneYaRdS, The Bad Plus, et al, etc. Dang.  | ||

Watch to the end for the full experience I found the payoff worth the wait, but I'm shallow.  | ||

Everyone thinks the music they listened to in high school is best and the music everyone else likes sucks. Plain and simple. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Oh I disagree there, I listen to everything from 30s-40s swing through soul, rock, funk, even some country, not forgetting punk, ambient, ska, reggae, some classical & occasionally the odd bit of rap. You can keep that Gangsta crap though. | ||

Humor - you folks are way too serious - lol - if we are going to be this hard core, then let's talk contact patches - lol EZ | ||

The bugle boy bit was pretty neat, but it got tedious from there. The 40's were a really neat time when women were starting to really be empowered, but as a culture we still had a lot more class and integrity. A strong and beautiful woman of high character has always been incredibly attractive. | ||

They don't build women these days like they did in the 30's through 50's... All twiggy and gangly these days. I'm blessed to have a curvy wife. | ||

Ok, you are the exception. Most people are hooked to the music from their early years. But if they are enlightened, they will discover the two best rock bands ever, AC/DC and Judas Priest! LOL. | ||

Wrong, Fresno- Rush is #1, Boston #2.  FWIW, tomorrow nite at the Shed in Mur-vil, Big Gun will be playing- they're a super-good AC/DC cover band! Last time, they had a Rush cover band from Oak Ridge open... If I get off work in time, might catch the last of the show. Seen them several times, always good- they've even got a gigantic bell, Styrofoam, to drop down slowly... at the advent of one particular song! | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Some amazing cover bands out there...sometimes you think you are listening to the real thing. | ||

I have many friends "stuck" in the era they went to college in. Mostly 70's rock. One of them insists on doing the driving when we go snowboarding so he can dictate the music. A couple of years ago we replaced all the music on his ipod with stuff like Korn, Everclear, Incubus, Delinquent Habits, Cypress Hill and Limp Bizkit the night before the trip (we had inside help). 20 miles out from home he fired up what he thought was Bob Seeger and flipped out. He never lets us forget that trip and we never let him drive again. There is a local cover band named The One's that used to be dead on, on 90% of what they played. After a few changes, they are still good, but lacking in vocals and drums. | ||

Rush is #1, Boston #2. Rush is tied for #1 with Black Sabbath, according to me. Most any other band I like could be #2 depending on the day and what mood I'm in. | ||

Kansas & Pink Floyd. I used to be a rock snob, I liked the oldies through my college days...... as expected. Then my younger sister introduced me to punk, both her boyfriend's band and an all girl local punk band, The Raunchettes. I draw the line now at Himalayan nose flutes, but tolerate techno and the occasional new gem. Lorde writes some good lyrics, I've heard some good dubstep, there is some good stuff out there. Pink, too. Great pipes with some meaningful lyrics. For Blues fans.... Samantha Fish. (Read the following line in an old fart's voice ) Modern music! Kids nowadays! Mostly repetitive crap though. Most music always has been crap if you're honest with yourself. Compare the lyrics of any modern band to Meatloaf. | ||

Aesquire- I stand corrected! The Floyd definitely beats Boston, but it's not really about that- there are several monumentally great bands in our past. I'd thought about Kansas, I favor Boston for sure! As this evolves into a music thread- I say that St. Paul and the Broken Bones are one of the best current-day bands around! | ||

Most music always has been crap if you're honest with yourself. I agree I think we remember the good music and the bad just goes away. | ||
| Pwnzor |
I think you Floydians need to specify Roger Waters or Syd Barrett. Carry on. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Floyd were like my hometown band, I'm Cambridge born, but I always found their stuff to be pretentious rubbish. Led Zeppelin the same. If we're talking general rock music, Journey are about top of my list, while Gunts and Noses are subject to an exclusion zone from my person. | ||

will somebody tell me why the adobe flush app is on permanent upgrade I am so sick of having to 'upgrade' everytime I get to a site that has an embed on it. Fix your buggy shiate. | ||
| Sifo |
Pink Floyd and Talking Heads are high on my list. I also like a variety of blues from many artists and decades. Let's no forget the B-52s. | ||

Cityxslicker... Adobe has been pretty much a rolling security disaster for the last decade. I don't know if it is blinding arrogance and incompetence alone, or blinding arrogance and incompetence combined with collusion with the NSA to ensure a steady stream of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities on client systems. I use Chrome with the "flashblock" extension. It replaces all flash content with a grey box and a play button. On the rare cases where I actually want to see flash content, I can click the play button and see it. In the other 99.999% of cases where flash crap is foisted upon me, it never gets executed by my browser. That limits the number of flash attacks I will be subjected too. I hate Adobe, I think their poorly written software has likely wasted 1000 hours of my life (literally) cleaning up infected systems for friends and family over the years. | ||

Thanks for the tip. Adobe, and McAfee both were grand products when introduced, and apparently the original creative guys are gone and the bean counters took over... Like H-D, who now has a patent on the color black.  Not Safe For Work, small children, or Alfau. | ||
