(Hey Jude was once largest selling single record).
Does that still hold true?
I think the biggest selling single, to date is Elton John - Candle in the Wind, but I could be wrong about that.
-
There was a song by Glen Miller called Run Rabbit Run, a few others have done a song by the same title, such as Jinx, Bob Crosby, & Allen & Flannigan. But I couldn't find anything by Steve Miller.

Fifty first dates was terrible, as is any adam sandler movie besides Happy Gilimore and Billy Madison
I liked Airheads, to me it's the best movie he's been in, not his funniest performance, actually I think Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) was the funniest one in that movie, but a few of Sandler's films were decent. Billy Madison grew old on me too quickly it seems, but that's because just after it came out, I would watch it once a week for 2 years straight.
With most SNLers, they will get lucky the first couple movies, then their egos get big and they write their own movies. Then they start to suck.It always happens, like you said about being lucky with the first couple movies. Bill Murray was able to stretch his career a little into the 90's with good films, like "What About Bob" & Groundhog Day. His latest films haven't been that great, I was completely bored by "Lost in Translation" The only funny part in that movie was with Mrs. Harris coming over & trying to seduce him.
Mike Myers is starting to slip, Dana Carvey never took off the way I hoped he would in movies. I wasn't impressed by Master of Disguise, he could've starred in a better role.
A lot of other SNL stars tried to do a movie & failed miserably, such as Al Franken (Stuart Smalley) & that lady who played Pat. Their movies were even stupider then their skits on SNL.
I hope this doesnt' happen with Will Fererel!It already is happening, IMO I never found him that funny to begin with, granted he's the best one on the show in the past 8 years.

I agree with you Scott, if that song were twice as long, it would be even better.
Thank You by Led Zeppelin could've had the second chorus repeated a few times, it's upsetting how they only sing that part once, it's a true beauty of a song.
-
What songs have a guitar solo, or just a rhythm section that you think should've been made longer to better fill in the song ?
-a few that I think so-
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing
Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills & Far Away
The Doors - The Crystal Ship (the organ piece in the middle)
Eagles - Hotel California (prominent solo at the end)
Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Woman
Pink Floyd - Careful with that Axe Eugene! (it's a long enough instrumental as it is, but I really love this one)
Grateful Dead - Box of Rain
-
I thought I posted in this thread the other day ::
Anyways, they're a good band, not the most original, but still worth the listen. Bad Reputation is my favorite song.
:guitar: -
I agree with David, it's for the best they weren't the media hype, & remained the underground part of the whole "Grunge Movement Mainstream"
Anybody ever heard the alone song they did with pearl jam??I had that on my comp, before I rebooted. It was a scratchy recording, but not a bad song. It sounds like a mix of the two bands.
-
Name the 1st band to have all 6* of their albums in the charts at once.
I'm pretty sure the answer to that is the Beatles, but I could be wrong.

I picked up the Velvet Revolver album Contraband, it's not bad, but no where near as good as the previous bands, it's mostly just a slightly harder version of STP. Weiland doesn't really cover any issues he hasn't before, and Completely lacks the same arrogance that Axl professed. My favorite tracks are Headspace, Dirty Little Thing, & Spectacle.
-
I really hate anything Ashton Kutcher is in,
The Butterfly Effect was really good, probably one of the best this year. He goes back in time & keeps changing these events that happened to him, & it gets him in trouble. The ending was hard to understand, but I should've paid more attention. I don't want to ruin it for anybody though.

I'm surprised American Pie by Don McLean hasn't been mentioned in this thread.
A long, long time ago,
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver,
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep,
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
*Chorus*
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singing this will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Now, do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes,
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues!
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
*Chorus*
Now for ten years we've been on our own,
And moss grows fat on a Rolling Stone
But that's not how it used to be
When The Jester sang for The King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
And while The King was looking down,
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned,
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx,
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
*Chorus*
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fall out shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With The Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume
While The Sargeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield!
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing
*Chorus*
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick
Because fire is the devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
*Chorus*
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news...
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
They were singin'
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singing this will be the day that I die...

The ones who reply with just "LOL" (or similar), or copy/quote a previous post and reply with just a smilie or two (no text)
Whenever I log onto here, I like to post as much as possible. I try to leave a significant comment, and make it a sentence or a paragraph long. Short responses are a common trend on forums, but not really that big of a deal either. The rankings don't matter to me & I could care less what any body else's is, I'm sure others feel the same way.
-
I don't know if these count, from the original subject specified, but some of my favorite beats are...
(I don't necessarily like all of these songs)
White Stripes - Various songs
Tool - 46&2
Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot
Doors - Touch Me
Tom Petty - Built to Last (Liquid Drums)
Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Bass)
Queen / David Bowie - Under Pressure
Genesis - Land of Confusion (mostly the opener & middle part)
A bunch of techno & trance (widely DJ mixes) that I also like, I usually listen to it while driving around.
-
I was browsing through the forum, when I found this...
Seeing those kittnes sing "immigrant song" was neat.I was watching that, it's pretty cool how they have their heads bobbing to Page's guitar. Even though there isn't much scenario to the clip, with it mostly being the two kittens on the ship. My favorite part is where the kitten quotes "Our only goal will be the western shore."

Yeah I know, I bumped an old thread
-
I don't really remember ever posting this thread LOL ::
I missed that show, but heard about it.
I would've of doubted that it was about drugs, seeing as how a good number of songs were related to that, when they weren't about sex or R&R excess.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention though, I guess I have a forgetful memory.

Well, it looks like Adam Sandler was forgotten!
My favorite is Steve Polychronopolous, the video is even funnier than the song, but I haven't seen it in almost 10 years now.
-
Stanley Kubrick is the best. I wouldn't say A Clockwork Orange is a drug movie but I wouldn't say it is not a drug movie either. Saw it both ways. Just makes it alot funnier when he says "The old in and out love"
There's the part where Alex is subjected to an injection & forced to watch video clips while he is hallucinating. And as Tenacious previously posted, there's the bit where they mixed milk & drugs into solids & made them available to anybody.

Hey Tara
I checked out those songs on that site, & they do indeed sound reminiscent of Incubus, with a slightly more dynamic sound. That?s interesting how they wrote a song in your honor, I may have to check out their album sometime soon.

no problem, I still don't really know what the rankings mean, or if there's a significance in it, I haven't even checked my own to see what I am.
-
Is this song a metaphor for dying from drugs or being an inhabitant in a clostrophobic area, any opinions or thoughts of the song? It's the following track to Fade To Black on the 20 year old Ride the Lightning album.
-
My favorite recording isn't up there, which is Live in Kansas City. For studio albums, I would go with Velvet Underground & Nico. It has some of my favorite songs like Heroin, I'm waiting for the man, & Black Angel Death Song.
-
It mentions something about a 103rd Street Gospel & a few others, this song has been covered many times.

They did an actual collaboration on a song called Alone, but it didn't appear on any album, & can only be found on the Internet. I've listened to it & it sounds like both bands performing.
