  1. 50 degrees in January. No snow ever in the forcast. This is just wrong. I never thought I'd want non-stop blizzards and sub zero weather, but I am annoyed that it isn't cold when I go outside after basketball practice with my shorts and t shirt on. I want freezing weather.
  2. Before launching into fisticuffs arguing about how horrible rap is, visit this thread. It covers almost every argument. I also have given up trying to convince people rap is not all bad. I think saying the Beatles saved hip hop is too broad of a statement, because I don't think rap was in trouble and had to be saved. They did however, help to start and influence it.

  4. Can someone tell me how the hell it does that?
  5. Same here. I guess I'm in the loser club. But that's actaully the cool club, so there.
  6. It is indeed a rarity. My story is a friend at school used the site and told me about it, and I became hooked. I think my first post was really arrogant and rude . Needless to say, I think (hope) I have changed since then, and now I am a regular.
  7. What do you consider real rock these days that is played on MTV. What I consider rock artists are today show up very rarley on MTV. Of course, it is possible we have varying opinions on what a "good" rock group today is.
  8. Yes. Because of it I believe that there is almost no real rock anymore, and after MTV's invention rock was never, and never will be the same as the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
  9. Okay, this might do it. The lady on the cover wants a "Tennesee Man."
  10. I'm a loose cannon rebel on the edge. I do what I want. (SHAFT!)
  11. I think it was to emphasize the point they were rich and stuck up and only liked their material things, which is why they brought them with them.
  12. If it's too hard let me know and I'll give some hints.
  13. I was maybe 100 yards away. Great seats and a great show.
  14. The show was amazing. The Pretenders sounded awesome and Daltrey and Townshend were amazing. I would have paid twice the ticket price for an hour of it, and they played for two and a half. Great concert.

    This is sweeping my school, with people quoting it everywhere you look. I think it's going to get pretty old pretty fast (until the DVD comes out).
  16. Notre Dame and USC play today in American college football in which I think is the game of the year. A rematch of last year's classic, I'm praying Notre Dame pulls through.
  17. Here's what I think: The phrases "cracker" and "white trash" no longer have any big affect on white people, because they have become generic insults. However, the word "n****er" represents hundreds of years of oppresion against the African-American race, and is not just an insult against ones skin color, but is really suggesting the black race is inferior. It is beyond me many people in the African American race use the word, but the point is a white man has no right whatsoever to utter it. Another thing is that Richard at no time has tried to salvage what he said. He had a half hearted apology on late night TV because Jerry Seinfeld urged him to do it so DVD sales would not be affected. If you say the first thing he said (the "fork" statement) as well as the racial slur, you have a lot of explaining to do.
  18. I debated saying whether or not it was worthy for a little while. A few factors were judged, first of all I'm just a casual Dylan fan and second of all I think there were other albums more worthy than that. Not to take anything away from Dylan's work, but that's just how I felt. My ruling on this was really biased and probably unfair, because I dislike country music a lot and personally think that making country music popular sending mankind back hundreds of years. Once again, personally there are other albums I could pick, but you do have a point.
  19. I think they picked that album becuase it went against the grain. People were tired of the same gangsta rap and Kanye mixed it up. However, in the long run I don't think he will have a large effect, because even almost five years after things are still pretty much the same as they were before he came up. And thank you for saying I summed it up. I am honored and privilaged to receive a " "
  20. Sorry, put this list is a joke. I will now go on to list my reasons why. Most of them are probably wrong, but I will say them anyway. 1. The exclusions. This is a joke. There is no work by: - Pink Floyd - The Doors - Queen - Guns n' Roses - Tupac Shakur - Pink Floyd - Jay- Z - Tom Petty - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Many others who people would disagree with so I won't bother to list 2. Bob Dylan. He's good, but not that good. "Highway 61" should be on there, as should "Time Out Of Mind." However, "Blonde on Blonde" is not top 100. 3. There is one album by The Who. One. But they don't bother to include the first ever rock opera, "Tommy." One Led Zeppelin album. This is a crime. 4. How many good albums can a group have. The Beatles are good, but did they really make 5% of the best albums ever. I don't like the Stones so naturally I will disagree with having two of their albums, but I can't disagree they should be on the list. Same thing with R.E.M. Pick one album. 5. If the title of an album includes the words "Greatest Hits," "Anthology," or "Collection," it is automatically out of contention for being one of the greatest albums. End of discussion. 6. Poor choices, in my opinion, include: - "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea"- PJ Harvey's - "Slanted and Enchanted"- Pavement's - "Phil Spector, Back to Mono (1958 - 1969)" - "Ropin' The Wind"- Garth Brooks - "The Harder They Come"- Jimmy Cliff - "Pet Sounds"- The Beach Boys 7. Alternatives. Instead of some of the ones listed above, include: - "Dark Side of The Moon"- Pink Floyd (I will rant about this later). - "American Beauty"- The Grateful Dead - "A Night At the Opera"- Queen - "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" - "Waiting For The Sun"- The Doors - "Wish You Were Here"- Pink Floyd - "Appetite For Descrution"- Guns n' Roses - "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"- Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Electric Ladyland"- Hendrix - Numerous others 8. Pink Floyd. It's not just the fact they didn't include them. It's that snooty little remark at the beginning, "And that's exactly how it should be." What a bunch of arrogant little brats. Since when is Time Magazine the authority on music. If one goes by this list it doesn't look like they know what they're talking about. If any of their albums should be on it, it should be "Dark Side", however, I think that "Wish You Were Here" should be there as well. If you haven't figured it out be now, I hate this list with a burining passion. The people who compiled it have almost no musical knowledge whatsover. It is really a disgrace and embarresement.
