My favorite monologue ever is from 25th Hour : Monte Brogan looking in the men's room mirror - It's really too much swearing for this board but you can read it here -uncut- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307901/quotes I love it - love this movie - and Edward Norton- a really incredible actor.

You are sooooo right SoulGirl...I think I love Jeff Buckley almost as much as you do! Do you like Elliott Smith and Rufus Wainwright too? My 3 favorite singer/songwriter types, I'm beginning to like Kings of Convenience very much too.

I'm really pulling for New York - I Love NY - and the poor things won't have the world series this year -because that will be in Baltimore. GO BIRDS!!! :happybanana:

I just heard an incredible cover of The WHite Stripes - Seven Nation Army (I really love that song - and the WHite Stripes) ---the cover by the Flaming Lips ( who- incidentally- I also love) it's on a disc called Late Night Tales. Johnny Cash's version of Hurt - by nine inch nails- is amazing and all the covers on A Perfect Circle's Emotive are also amazing. Especially when the levee breaks. Nirvana - The man who sold the world - and Leadbelly's Where did you SLeep Last Night----absolutely spinetingling!

The first rule of rock - THERE ARE NO RULES... Rock = Anarchy

Hey - except for KISS (and ICP) - I really like most all the groups you guys have mentioned - and THE WHITE STRIPES are on a par with Tool, Kings of Leon, Audioslave, and Heartless Bastards as far as my current obsessions go. Jack White proved himself as producer with his work on Loretta Lynne's "Van Lear Rose" -- had to be one of the best albums of last year- along with Elephant. And before the Kiss army declares war - I understand the impulse but really - are they any different from Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and any number of later copy cats.

FOO FIghters are amazing. And Dave Grohl is so multitalented - did anyone else see his hysterical cover of "stairway to heaven" a few years ago on Conan or one of those late night shows. I so wish I'd taped it - it was rich. But back on subject - I haven't heard the new album yet - I have the rest of them, and really most of the rest of Dave's catalog- QOTSA,Nirvana,Probot - he is a rock god!

Where did you find it?

Get the first album too - Youth and Young Manhood - it's great and the song "Molly's Chamber" is used in some car commercial (where the young couple is jumpingup and down in their apartment and the old man downstairs is trying to get them to be quiet) - Anyway - Kings of Leon are Caleb, Matthew, Jared and Nathan Followill - brothers and cousins - from Tennessee - preacher's kids - and they really know how to rock! This is the best new band I've heard this century.

How about John Fogarty's "Fortunate Son", Bruce Springsteen - "Born in the USA", or Green Day - "American Idiot", Perfect Circle -"Let's have a War" - oh now I'm getting less classic and more post Bush --- what is more patriotic than protest? Vive La Revolucion!!

Motown performers: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Temptations, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, and Stevie Wonder- there are many, many more. A crossover record is one that scores in more than one category of music - for example, Faith Hill began as a country star and had several crossovers to the pop charts, as did Shania Twayne, rap stars that have had crossovers to pop might be Blackeyed Peas, Eminem, and Outkast. The earliest crossovers were probably Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr. Hope that helps. I imagine the cost of producing a show with as many musicians as the big bands used was probably a contributing factor in their demise.

My Dad had fairly eclectic taste in music and the oldest stuff I ever listen to are probably the ones he played when I was just a little girl - Mario Lanza's "The Kiss" was his favorite, and he loved Frankie Laine, Roy Orbison, Hank Sr., Patsy Cline, Mahalia Jackson, Jimmie Rogers, Nat King Cole, Bill Withers, Tennessee Ernie Ford - (16 Tons) and Jimmy Dean - Big Bad John, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Harry James and Rosemary Clooney. The Girl From Ipanema - by Stan Getz was a particular favorite for me, as was anything by Johnny Cash. When Folsom Prison Blues came out we must have heard it every weekend for a year. I still love those songs and artists. (And now with the internet they're not quite so hard to find.) As far as rock goes I guess Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry are my earliest favorites. Hey - I love htis thread.

From Layla "What'll you do when you get lonely" -- I really thought it was "what'll you do when you drink your coffe" -- my husband made fun of me for that because I drink about 10 pots a day. My brother-in-law had the funniest one though - he thought the REM line "this one goes out to the one I left behind" was actually "this one goes out to the one I BLEFT' - when reminded there was no such word he said they make up words all the time - he will still argue this line.

It was written by George and is definitely on the Lethal Weapon 2 soundtrack - you can also find it on the Traveling Wilbury's Volume 4 1/2. What a great musician and human being.

Great link bazooka - loved the bio. Another (not quite so forgotten) is John Mayall and the Blues Breakers - that in several different lineups included Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Paul Butterfield, Mick Taylor and even CLapton!

I vote LIAR - we all saw Rock Star (with Mark Wahlburg) - we know what went on - if Judas Priest didn't get kinky no one did!!

Sunny Day Real Estate - very classic, and am I the only one who thinks My Morning Jacket sounds alot like After the Gold Rush era Neil Young?

Thank you Edna - I didn't know that Shes about a Mover was by Doug Sahn - I do remember that one Uncle Joe. We must have similar tastes. I also love Love/Arthur Lee - Anyone consider Moby Grape a forgotten classic? And for the teeny bopper in all of us how about Tommy James and the Shondells - I know there's been several covers of Crimson and Clover -(or was that Mony Mony?) but they had several other hits as well. My favorite (and remember I was about 10 or 11 when this came out) was "I think we're alone Now". And who could forget Gary Puckett and the Union Gap? Not so forgotten but The Lovin' Spoonful were great also - Summer in the City and Do You Believe in Magic are 2 of my favorites.

I love this movie and the soundtrack is my second favorite - next to Donnie Darko - which is my favorite of course. The soundtrack to trainspotting is up there too.

I had never heard of these guys (and I was born in the 50's) until quite recenty when I heard a best of cd - they were really incredible : Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet. Anyone else ever hear of them?

Definitely Kings of Leon and The White Stripes - but also The Mars Volta, Mercury Rev, Heartless Bastards, Queens of the Stone Age, AUDIOSLAVE, and Velvet Revolver. Also Jet, FOO FIGHTERS, and Aerosmith -(oh wait they are a classic rock band! STILL ROCKIN'). :guitar:

I've been trying to find a spot to hear some of their music - looked today at my local used cd store - they actually sell new cd's and local cd's also - and couldn't find anything. the guy in the store wasn't familiar with them but I've read some good stuff about them. Any links where I can hear a sample? Thanks

I'm pretty sure Steely Dan's My Old School which you talked about on another thread is pre - 1977. Uh Yeah - COuntdown to Ecstasy - 1973?

Twenty One I don't think it's going to happen anymore. You took my thoughts from me. Now I want nothing more. And did you think you could just take it all away? I don't think it's happ'ning, this is what I say. Leave me alone, leave me alone, Leave me alone 'cause I found it all. Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one... So I don't think it's going to happen anymore. I don't think it's going, To happen anymore. Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one... [X 2] Today... [X 4] Twenty one... [X 14] Well - 21 is the age we become "adults" at least legally in most places; maybe she means "you" have tried to make her conform - or she is supposed to take up her role at the age of 21 - "did you think you could just take it all away" - meaning her "self" - her uniqueness. But who knows? It's like analyzing poetry - just feel it and don't worry about what it means - it means what it means to you.

The discussion turns to bagpipes and the greatest rock and roll bag pipe band award goes to AC/DC ! BTW - my favorite AC/DC song is Gone Shooting - Just love that - sorry about helping to hijack the thread - seemed like the thing to do. :happybanana:
