    Just please think before you post a link. Use common sense and discretion. Minors on board!!!
  4. Malmsteen is the most overrated guitarist of all time. Seriously. He plays the same 6 notes over and over, with 16 different effect boxes under his foot. I know. I watched him do it from 10 feet away. OVERRATED. All done with effects.
  5. Jefferson Airplane Let's Face It
  6. Cher writes songs? I'm going to guess Jewel. Or maybe Courtney Love.

  8. I have limewire. The only problem I have with it is it seems to bog down the computer when I'm downloading. I used to have kazaa lite, and when my brother purged my computer and installed xp, I decided to try something different. He suggested limewire. It slows down the pc, which kazaa never did, but on the upside, I've never got one of those recordings that starts that screeching in the middle of the song. It seems every song I download is ok. I did have that happen once, when nothing came up, but it only happened once, and hasn't happened since.
  9. I am going to guess Imagine ~ John Lennon Respect ~ Aretha Franklin
  10. So, when can EA be expecting that eyetooth? LOL.
  11. Milli Vanilli? New Kids on the Block? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Man, did you get robbed!!!
  12. Oh...I have to pick a song? Hhmmmm...how about "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Thin Lizzy. And everybody has to dance. I don't want any moping around.
  13. They're coming to the Spectrum in Philly sometime this summer. Tickets go on sale later this month. I didn't read the article, but there was a caption under their picture "Heavy metal survivors Motley Crue" LOL. Hey Unc, is the Rocky statue still out front of the Spectrum?
  14. March 3, 1964. I Want to Hold Your Hand ~ The Beatles. Didn't I just do this a couple of days ago?
  15. I have 9 answers. I need one more. I'll get it. I will google if I have to.
  16. Here's the strange animal we have in Delaware. They're called Horseshoe Crabs, and some people believe they actually are living dinosaurs: They can get pretty big, almost 3 feet long. They wash up on the shore out od the Delaware Bay. In the summer, they are all over the place, hundreds of them!
  17. I know probably no one wants to here this, but this was the first thing that popped into my head: Each member had a certain color they were associated with on their solo albums.
  18. When I die, cut me up for bait, so everybody can go fishing.

    Queen

    The most wonderful thing about Queen, is that they simply paid attention to the music. You put on a set of headphones and listen to any Queen album. It is musically and lyrically rich. They spared no expense making music. No wasted space, no filler crap you get so ofeten these days. Even their tongue in cheek ditties, such as Seaside Rendezvous, are rife with musical quality. They paid attention to the little details that made their songs worth listening to. They were true to their craft. That's why they have stood the test of time, and younger listeners think they rock. Because they do.
