Here are some I like: Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You Allman Bros. - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed Pink Floyd - Biding My Time Frank Zappa - The Gumbo Variations Jimi Hendrix - Killing Floor Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy Miles Davis & John Coltrane - So What The Who - Young Man's Blues

Britney Spears Sex Tape? Britney Spears is upset over a fake ad posted on the Internet claiming to have a sex tape of the pop tart. Buzzle Staff Editor, 6/30/2004 10:05:00 PM Sources close to Britney Spears say that she is reeling from the news that a Louisiana man posted an ad on the Internet claiming to have a sex video featuring him and Britney Spears having sex. One of Britney Spears friends say that even though Britney knows the video was a sham it still bothered her. Brit reportedly said of the episode, "It’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from." The ad, posted on the popular sales web site craigslist.org, read "Need help selling celeb porn tape." The ad went on to read, "I’m kinda unsure how to do this, being a ‘county (sic) boy’ but I have a tape shot of me and Britney Spears and I was wondering if anyone in…LA would know who I could sell it to (sic). I need the money and she doesn’t (sic) even talk to me anymore. This is in or around Kentwood, LA." This is just the latest disaster for the once reigning princess of pop. This is on the heels of the incident where her mother reportedly ran over the foot of a paparazzo. She already embarrassed herself with the quickie Las Vegas wedding to childhood pal, Jason Alexander, which lasted a mere 55 hours. Now she has been branded a "home wrecker" for her relationship, and recent engagement, to dancer Kevin Federline who left his pregnant girlfriend to be with Spears. There was a time where everything Brit touched turned to gold, but now it seems that she can’t get anything right. Apparently she's been complaining about how much of a free-loading brat her husband has been since she spawned that devil-child, and how he hasn't turned over-night into a devoted and doting Ward Cleaver-type. Well, Brit, what do you expect from a punk who hasn't done an honest day's work in his life, who walked out on his former girlfriend and their two children, and who is married to a chick worth a hundred million bucks

Don't remember the video for that one. I'll have to download it.

That Genesis song "Mama", especially when he does that creepy laugh (hehe he). Isn't it about some guy stalking a prostitute? And it has that repetitive drum track that give it a very industial-like mood. Also "Sober" by Tool, after I first saw the claymation video for it.

I think their new album sounds a lot like their first, which is a good thing! My favorites right now are "The Fallen" and "I'm Your Villain".

From what I've heard, I'm not that crazy about Iggy Pop & The Stooges, or the MC5 for that matter, which is weird since I love all those garage bands and proto-punk bands from the mid '60s to early '70s.

Tenacious D, and it's all I listen to ... seriously.

I've heard castration does things to your voice... either that, or they keep a tank of helium backstage at every show.

3. Duane Eddy - Rebel Rouser 2. AC/DC - Back in Black 1. Survivior - Eye of the Tiger The best, in that order, period.

I watch the first part of this last night. It was really good! They had some great footage of old Dylan performances and other musicians. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of it @ 9 on WQED. And no commercials!!!

Thank you all for replying. I agree that a lot of rock has been technologically driven from the beginning (the amplification of instruments was a key technological element of early R'n'R). Even so-called "purists" of past styles usually take advantage of some new technology. And I believe there is always the potential for invention or discovery. But right now I think we've kind of hit a brick wall with rock music (instead of trying to climb over it musicians should be more creative and open to exploring different paths of music). I also think that when something new does come along people for the most part will be open-minded enough to embrace it. Another thing about technology is that it's the reason rock, classical, blues, rap, ect., is listened to by more people today than ever before. Actually, I bet you can't go a day without listening to music if you tried (you hear it constantly on TV, in stores, even when a car drives by your home with the radio blaring). And I know I'm thankful for the Internet and great sites like this that allow me to discover artists I haven't heard of before, new and old, without having to rely just on the radio and my friends (one of whom works for a branch of Columbia Records and occasionally gets me free CDs)(I'd also mention shows/concerts here but you can probably imagine that music scene sucks in West Virginia). As far as what bands will stand the test of time by 2025, I'm guessing there will be about the same number as there are today (as generations get older, the superior bands of today will replace many of the bands of the '60s, '70s, and '80s who will be lost in obscurity).

I don’t think early rock bands considered themselves rebellious, nor did early jazz musicians or rap artists. They were just doing their thing, while unknowingly teaching and inspiring admirers. It’s the older, more conservative generations that labeled them rebels…there was really nothing rebellious about it. Making music for the pure, outright sake of rebelling didn’t happen until the Sex Pistols hit the scene. As for bands today, I don’t think Korn’s, and similar bands’, main purpose is to sound bad to 40-somethings. They’re just doing their thing (but not a very good job at that). And who from the ‘60s said that rock was dead? Who’s says it’s dead now? That’s not what I’m saying. I also never said, or implied, that nothing new or great has been done in the past 20 or 30 years. However, I will say that nothing relatively new or great has been done in the past 10 years with ROCK music (this is the whole reason I’ve bothered to write all this). In fact, I don’t think I’ve said anything disrespectful or inconsiderate about today’s musicians in general (unless you’re a contemporary country fan). I listen to (and play, or try to play) many styles of music – rock (classic and modern), blues, jazz, classical, folk – and am a big fan of many new rock bands, like Muse, Interpol, and Queens of the Stone Age, as well as groups/artists in many different genres who have been around for 10-20 years, or longer. I agree that someone today is capable of writing or composing something comparable to Bach or Beethoven; we’ve seen it happen several times in the past century, and there’s no reason not to believe it’ll happen again. However, I’m arguing that we’ll never again hear anything as innovative (i.e. ahead of its time) as Beethoven or Bach within the genre of rock music, or anywhere close for that matter. Again, I’m not saying that rock, or blues, or country music is dead; they’re obviously still alive, but just over the hill, through the woods, and back again. I also don’t consider groups like Outkast, the Blackeyed Peas and the Roots to be rock bands. I guess I’m just bitter because I’m expecting my generation to come up with something completely original – something like you’ve never seen or heard before – like Elvis (visually), or the Beatles (musically), or Dylan (lyrically), or Hendrix (guitarly), or punk or rap or grunge whatever, when people say, “Wow! I’ve never seen/heard anything like that before!†(Saying it in a good way, not like referring to Marilyn Manson). And if anybody is still reading this up to here,

Shatner vs. Stewie

Well I hope it's filmed better than "Cronicles" was written.

And yet another reason as to why the Internet was the greatest invention of the 20th century.

} OK, it seems nobody agrees with me. Don't get me wrong ... I love listening to rock more than anyone I know. But all the songs about "rock is here to stay" listed above are at least 25 years old - most of them much older - back when "new" rock music WAS worth appreciating, back when those words were believable, back when rock was being rejected by an older, more conservative population based on its immoral nature and sheer rebelliousness, not on its lack of craftmanship and inability to push the boundaries of the music (similar to rap music today). I don't doubt musicians will ever altogether stop playing rock music, but we've already heard it fused with practically every style of music known to man, and everything else done with it today just doesn't seem very impressive, noteworthy, or lasting compared to what's been done before. So really I'm arguing that nothing significantly groundbreaking can really come of rock music - at least not anymore - and that it needs to be laid to rest, appreciated for what it's musically, socially, and culturally accomplished ... enjoyed but ultimately moved aside for what's next to come (the same argument could have been made for jazz 30 years ago, or blues 40 years ago). Oh, and old farts like the Stones and Clapton can't be rockin' forever (say it ain't so ). Plus, I get the feeling most of you may actually agree with me, in some sense, since you don't really keep up or can care less with the "new" rock scene. Except if something new did come along, I'm not so sure you'd care about that, either.

Does anybody else agree that rock music has pretty much run its course, that nothing new is really being done with it, or that at least any new experimentation with styles or variation will last a few years at most and achieve only a mild degree of popularity at best? Actually the whole genre has more or less been steadily going downhill around the time punk music emerged. If you tried to name the top five bands out right now you'll probably get a list of throwback bands or a bunch of guys in their late 30s to mid 40s ... not exactly what you had in the '60s and '70s. And it's safe to say that its fan base is becoming increasingly older with rap and hip-hop becoming more popular and profitable with younger audiences (I won't get into country music since I have no understanding as to why anybody still listens to that crap). So should rock n' roll just fade away? I'm ready for something else.

ahha it was "Soul Man"

Remember that '80s movie where the white kid takes pills that make his skin turn black, so he can get into Harvard Law School on a minority scholarship? That movie was pretty "horrorble" (ok, bad joke).

Donald Pleasence?

I happen to check this thread and couldn't help myself Gonna git in the hot tub-ba! Gonna make ya SWEAT-AH!

Was that the Sir Douglas Quintet who sang that song, "She's about a Mover"? Does anybody know anything else about them?

Wow, i don't think i've ever met a real socialist before.
