I'm having a bowl of soup and a fried bologna sandwich, they hit the spot. Soup is too hot so I thought I'd say something.

The biggest argument seems to be a person's right to say whatever they want to, even if it's stupid. Isn't that pretty much it?

My opinion is the best one, because it's mine. I don't agree with the "list" entirely. I was there at the beginning, I know the passion and emotion that the music stirred.

When you consider what is out there now, it's a result of the early musicians. Listen closely and you'll find VERY little new music that wasn't influenced by someone else.

If your creative juices are flowing, quit writing attacks and defenses and make some music.

I'm going to go eat my lunch, sanwich is getting cold and soup is just about right.

Yeah and what do you got?

Cause we're all waiting for your top notch material.

Nice collection. Wouldn't it be nice if virtually anything we recorded went platinum and we got all the royalty money?

May I have some of that sandwich? I am very hungry and have been draining all my energy becuase my opinions are many and that makes me bad-- either way-- If I had the roast beef sandwich that is down in my fridge right now I would feel better. I had spaghetti once.

By the way (the) dioscilator was recovered in a lake in Finland of all places. It seems it was confiscated when I was telling (chicken jokes) to the old dude at the fence. I was drugged by Geromino officers from Switzerland who(were) concealed by (fake) snowy bushes. They have that. (And) the dioscilator was transported by helocopter to Romania and then to Finland by the Franxisker Guard troops of Helsinki. (The dioscilator is) not operable and is staying at the bottom of Lake Carzfarntz. We can all sleep (well) tonite troop. Thanks for all your help. Someone can now put up THE GREEN LOCOMOTIVE please.

Reguarding SRV, I am no big fan, if fact I am no fan at all. I don't get his style or stage act...nothing, but thats my personal taste. However, I must say he has had a huge influence and no less that B.B. King says this of him in his autobiography: "of all the white guys , though, Stevie Ray Vaughan earned a place of his own. I loved him. Stevie came through in the early eighties, just after Mike Bloomfield died and early and tragic death. I remember thinking that another white boy nurtured by black music was going to keep the faith. Stevie did more than that. He played with such incredible technique and genuine soul that he became the boldest guitarist of his generation. He was a superstar with the potential of Elvis. What Elvis did for rock n roll , Stevie might have done for the blues....When Stevie died in a helicopter crash in 1990, I was devistated. I'd lost part of myself. The world has lost the man destined to become the greatest guitaist in the history of the blues. King, B.B. Blues All Around Me: the autobiography of B.B. King. Avon Books. 1996 pp 293-294.I think that is a huge complement. While I don't necessarily agree with it, it's still a testament.

It's amusing that threads wax an wain and then always end up on the topic of food.

What no comments about "vegamite," The classic food topic. :lol:

Whats up with these guys attacking anyone that has a different opinion than theirs and just brushing it off as "lolz must b dum"...? Seriously? Grow the f*** up, people have opinions. Deal with it.

I'd also like to note that before these people began doing so, this topic was, for the most part, completely civil and was just people voicing their opinions on who they think got a bit more credit than they deserve. Stop trying to drag the topic into an idiotic pissing match.

Now, as for the actual topic.....

I think the Black Keys are pretty overrated (NOTE: I am basing this off of what littel I have heard of them, so I could be wrong)... I've heard a few of their songs and 1) It just doesn't do it for me 2) I really don't see why people consider them some sort of "garage" revival (same with the Strokes).... IMO it sounds more like poppy rock/R&B run through a cool vocal effect (again,based on what little I have heard).

Agreed, and The Strokes first album is fantastic, but they got to hyped to quick and kinda became a singles band

Yes, someone here at work bought some at an import store. It was pretty bad. I'll take peanut butter any day.

Okay you' may be right in some respects but I don't crave attention. The singer in my band does though. Insulting someone with the moniker you have-- well you leave yourself open to that one don't you Negative Creep?
So anyway , I'll leave you alone, sorry.

Wow, you actually took the time to look back, wow now your just leaving yourself open for that one now, but I accept your apology

i'm not sure whats happening here, i'm seeing a ton of great bands put in overrated, like the beatles, seriously..... now see i'm younger and i absolutely love the music of old, but i may not like the rolling stones at all, but that doesn't make me think they are bad or overrated, i just don't like them (there is a difference) but because of their musicianship, guys like them and the beatles van halen, and the like had to actually write their own music and not look up a tab on the internet.... essentially these guys were actual musicians, not like these bands that have come out recently with all the electronic mixing, and getting someone to write your music, and i'm talking in the pop - rock line, i mean sure there's been a few good bands come out, but most are overrated.... the point i'm trying to make is none of the bands from the old age are really overrated because they are who built all modern rock, and hell modern music for that matter.. this is my opinion.

on a more serious note

Dear Floyd- shut up. The reason I went off was becuase some lame dinkwheat started mouthing the greatest bands on Earth in the most worst way. Just trashing them like they are scum. I just can't let them get away with that. If it brought me down to thier level -- well I guess I did that to make them understand what was up. Fight fire with fire. Sometimes you just have to get down in the pit and have it out. I stand up for what those great bands were all about and for what the times were like in America. So when you bad mouth even English Bands of the early years that's un American.
I really wish some of the young guys on here were around back then. You may have a whole different viewpoint about putting the bad mouth on certain things and people. Take that to the bank and smoke it.

So because I can look at bands without nostalgia goggles and realize they aren't gods among men, I can't voice an opinion? Again, people were stating opinions, they were different than your own, and you went the f*** off. Calm down and learn to deal with the fact that not everyone loves your favorite bands. You don't see me going around slashing tires and preaching because people hate hardcore punk, do you? Again, stop trying to bring the the topic an idiotic pissing match

edit: have read the rest of topic, awesomely derailed
