Yeah, all of Sgt. Pepper's was important. 67 was one of the hardest years to choose for, but I have a Doors bias.
-
1. "Across the Universe"- The Beatles
2. "Give Peace A Chance"- John Lennon
3. "Californication"- Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. "Who Are You"- The Who
5. "Rainy Day, Dream Away"- Jimi Hendrix
6. "The Message"- Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five
7. "Shapes of Things"- The Yardbirds
8. "Seven Nation Army"- The White Stripes
9. "Could You Be Loved"- Bob Marley
10. "Forever and Ever, Amen"- Randy Travis

I think Seeker is on vacation.

There was Patsy Cline before Buffett.
True, and Johnny Cash, but Jimmy Buffett took it to a new level. Except for Springsteen fans and Deadheads, I don't think there's any group more fanatical than the Parrotheads.

I chose Space Oddity because to me it marks the true beginning of glam rock and was completely different from anything else before then. It's also a freaking awesome song. Batman has a point though, MC5 was incredibly influential also.
I chose Jimmy Buffett because he was such an amazing crossover artist that pop fans, country fans, and rock fans could all enjoy. To me that's a really cool breakthrough.
"You Really Got Me" I probably should have put as Eruption/You Really Got Me. That guitar solo changed rock guitar forever.

This is a list I compiled, because I was bored. I assigned a song to each year that I believe was the most important song created that year. This does not mean it was the best song, just the most important. I only went to 1991 because I didn't feel like I knew enough about music (or liked enough music) afterwards to fairly judge. Friendly discussion is encouraged. What do you agree and disagree with? What would your suggestions be? For those of you who are more savvy with modern music, what would you put after 1991? Without further ado, here's the list:
1965- “Satisfactionâ€- Rolling Stones
1966- “Sounds of Silenceâ€- Simon & Garfunkel
1967- “Light My Fireâ€- The Doors
1968- “All Along the Watchtowerâ€- Jimi Hendrix
1969- “Space Oddityâ€- David Bowie
1970- “Across the Universeâ€- The Beatles
1971- “Stairway to Heavenâ€- Led Zeppelin
1972- “Smoke on the Waterâ€- Deep Purple
1973- “Free Birdâ€- Lynyrd Skynyrd
1974- “A Pirate Looks at Fortyâ€- Jimmy Buffett
1975- “Bohemian Rhapsodyâ€- Queen
1976- “More than A Feelingâ€- Boston
1977- “Anarchy in the U.K.â€- Sex Pistols
1978- “You Really Got Meâ€- Van Halen
1979- “Comfortably Numbâ€- Pink Floyd
1980- “Redemption Songâ€- Bob Marley
1981- “Tom Sawyerâ€- Rush
1982- “Billie Jeanâ€- Michael Jackson
1983- “Sunday, Bloody Sundayâ€- U2
1984- “Born in the USAâ€- Bruce Springsteen
1985- “Money for Nothingâ€- Dire Straits
1986- “It’s Trickyâ€- Run-D.M.C.
1987- “Welcome to the Jungleâ€- Guns N’ Roses
1988- “Oneâ€- Metallica
1989- “Rockin’ in the Free Worldâ€- Neil Young
1990- “Friend in Low Placesâ€- Garth Brooks

I like preachy songs. -
Bond. James Bond.

You got it! You win... I dunno, pride points or something.

I got into Love after reading Jim Morrison's biography, which often cited Love as the top band on the Sunset Strip scene. They were a great band. Very sad news.

Close, but not quite.

Wrong! I can understand the association between an Irish riddle and drinking, but that's incorrect.
-
Alright, my turn, here's an Irish rhyming riddle:
Two brothers are we, great burdens we bear
In which we are bitterly pressed
The truth we do speak, we are full all the day
And empty when we go to rest
-
Is it an umbrella?

I haven't read it but I have a few friends who read it over and over again, the same ones who reread Tolkien.
Yeah, I do that too. Guess I'm just a nerd that way.
-
"Rock Show" has been changed to "Rock Fest" and moved to VH1 Classic. I love that show.
-
Tom Joad over The Rising?
I was thinking the same thing.
-
Even if it is, the complete sentence isn't. "Like, um, maybe...ALL OF RAP." It's hard to make a good case for "all of rap" when one uses a sentence like that.

As a birdwatcher I find all that amazing. Thanks for sharing that.

I started reading Hitchhiker's again for the 100th time. I should probably read something new, but it amazes me how every time I read it I catch a joke that I missed all those other times. It's the only book that can really make me laugh out loud.

The rhino's a nazi!
-
The fact that I'm not the only one who appreciates Death to Smoochy makes me feel good about the world!

Yes, maam.

Well, I've got B-F on my side, so I suppose I've accomplished something.
