In response to that, I'm 26 years old and listening to music older than I am for that exact same reason, because it's good music. I can play Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Doors, or Lynyrd Skynyrd and see the song in my mind. It's almost like a miniature movie playing throughout my head. I can see these people on stage having the greatest time of their life. Playing outside in front of 100,000 people that only had to pay $20 to see the concert. Everybody is just there having a good time and not acting stupid in a mosh pit or trying to pick a fight with the person next to them. I can see the bands playing music because they love to do it and not because they get paid to do it. Then I hear some stupid song on the radio sung by some no talent boy band who's making money hand over fist and has no heart in their music at all.
Just because you can sing doesn't mean that you're an artist. True artists can not only sing but also write lyrics, put on performances without lip syncing, play instruments (some of the time), and basically love the music and could care less about the fact that they're getting paid for it. If you took the money away from Justin Timberlake, all you'd have left is Cameron Diez's booty call.

Well, this is not a war protest song, but it is one of my favorite "protest" songs. I love the emotion behind it.
Hand Me Down World
(Winter)
Anybody here see the noise, see the fear
And commotion,
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the love, see the hate
Being motioned...
(Chorus)
Don't Give me no hand me down shoes
Don't Give me no hand me down love
Don't Give me no hand me down world
Got one already.
I love The Guess Who! I think a good protest song (not really a war protest song) would be Won't Get Fooled Again.

That's a very deep thought and really makes you think. Is it the music that our parents hate the music that everyone seems to like the most?

They're a Minnesota band with an alternative rock feel to them. I saw them play and thought they were great. Can't find a website, but if they come to your area, check them out.

Bill Clinton's response to sexual aligations:
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Tommy Lee's response to sexual aligations:
"Ya I f***ked that girl, and I'd do it again if I had the chance! Hey, you're kind of cute, wanna see my c**k?"

How can I continue living this way...

"He of she will also experience "cotton mouth" and may drink in ordinate amounts of water to satiate thirst and constantly be licking his lips."
Says it right in that website. My biggest question is this:
Is Tommy Lee that desparate to be back in the limelight that he puts out a book? Or is he just trying to top Bill Clinton...? ::

The Simpson girls are like a swarm of locusts that just won't go away!
As for her fan base, I'm sure most of them were in bed by 9:30 that night anyway. Although if they appeared in Playboy they may acquire a new fan base.

That is possible seeing as how we came up with the same thing. Although this does seem to get more difficult the higher in numbers we go.
"Sunny & 73" - 9811

This little creative writing game is quite simple, write a line for this song we're creating matching it up with the previous lines of the song. Only add one line to the song and we'll see what we can come up with. The song doesn't need to rhyme for every line, but a nice flowing song would work better.
We will probably need a chorus somewhere in this song as well. I'll start:
Tripped and stumbled and fell down off my wall

Anyone ever see The Nightmare Before Christmas?
The movie was not that good, but the music was fantastic!

I think this whole thread is really just rambling, but you make a very good point. As new generations are born, they will probably listen to less pop music and listen more to the music that they can enjoy for years to come. I hate pop music.

Here's my general opinion on the influence of people around you:
The older you get the less you care about the opinion of the people around you and the more you are likely to experiment with other types of music. You no longer feel the need to conform to the musical tastes of people your age and feel you can finally decide what is tasteful and what is just bland. I get a lot of funny stares when I tell people that I love classic rock. The comment they always give me is "you're too young to like that kind of music". My response is "maybe you're just too old to appreciate it".
I'm also very interested in the "bad girls go everywhere" comment...

I used to work in a building formerly owned by K-Tel industries...
I guess I could introduce myself but that would be boring. So I'll just say:
Rock and roll lives on from until forever!

I completely agree with the fact that all those wonderful teenie boppers are buying up all the horrible new music and watching all the lousy videos on MTV, but there has to be something I'm missing. MTV made the world of music almost too commercial causing a flood of bands that don't actually play instruments anymore. Rock 'n' Roll will live forever!

Have you noticed that within the past ten years it seems as though the more bands that come out the more they start to sound like each other? I realize there are a lot of bands out there that don't get enough air play that have a good meaning behind their music, but those aren't the bands I'm referring to. It seems to me as though new music nowadays is filled with nothing but references to relationships, dancing, or killing.
Whatever happened to music that mattered? Music that spoke out against an event that happened or told us a story about things going on. In my opinion, pop music, R & B, and club tunes are taking over the radio/video market and I'm going crazy.
I looked at AT40 the other day and it was plastered with dance and relationship songs. And yet, if you look at the Billboard all time albums listing, it's covered with classic rock. This one persons opinion is simple:
The music industry needs to worry less about money and think more about the music.
What's your opinion?

This puts a lot of pressure on a person... hmm...
1. Led Zeppelin: II
2. Lynyrd Skynyrd: (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd)
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd: Second Helping
4. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side Of The Moon
5. Puddle Of Mud: Come Clean
6. Pearl Jam: Ten
7. The Beatles: 1
8. Oasis: What's The Story... Morning Glory
9. Bon Jovi: Cross Road
10. Live: Throwing Copper
Not in any particular order after # 5.

Definitely the Beatles...
The original Lynyrd Skynyrd (prior to Ronnie & Steve's death) made great albums filled with some of the greatest songs.
-
Either way, here's a start...
Billy Joel: Just The Way You Are
Lynyrd Skynyrd: We Ain't Much Different
I can't think of any others right now.

OH NO! A Packers fan, that's a shame. Could you do us all a favor and tell Brett Favre to retire already? He's just getting worse and worse. One more hit by Chris Hovan and he's done for...
