I Think It's Love Again - The Dog's D'Amour. This song actually also needs to be on my greatest songs of all time list. The best love song by far! Trust - 7 Seconds. Always been a favorite, and one of the only tunes that really hits the feelings of really being in love.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Yeah, your dork activity book is already filled up. I Kid. I Care. I Check my Mailbox Each Day For Beer.® I know, I know. I'll bring it upstairs out of my cellar tonight. I will be out and about Friday and will get all the packing stuff for it. I suck at shipping stuff, just ask Critic. But I was first hoping to have it to you for the WS win, then Thanksgiving. But I promise you will have it BEFORE Christmas of 2005. Because of where it is though, I keep forgetting it is in my house. I also fully agree that my dork activity book is full. I don't make fun of gamers, I just thank the gods that it isn't one of my hobbies, mainly due to the financial hurt that comes with it.

I was at my Best Buy this morning to get the King Kong exclusive boxset. That was friggin' crazy. The only place I could find my boxset was at the "impulse" items table at the special X-Box check out line. The line was all the way to the front of the store. I am sooooooo glad I am not into those types of video games.

"Good stories"??? Hell no. "Bad stories"??? Sure. Just the hell of selling and buying is enough to make me never want to move again. Our last purchase was bought with the intention of it being just that, our Last Purchase.

Alter Bridge has some decent stuff, and they REALLY benefit from not having that terrible melodramatic twit singing for them.

I don't know, but the only song by the Thankfully Dead that I like is "Touch Of Grey".

Have any of you heard any of that Stapp thing??? It sounds even more like Creed than Alter Bridge. I mean, it is basically EXACTLY like everything Creed did that was a hit. In other words, it sucks.

I don't like guns, and I don't like abortion.

...wow...that's a happy story.

Every case needs to be tried and every case needs to be judged. If the person has had a record of it, then yes, death. Joseph Smith had better die. I agree with Steff, the people can't be rehabilitated If that is what they are into, then they can't change. I do not want any of my money going to keep those people alive. I could probably pull the trigger on a person like Smith or any other pedophile, and still sleep well at night. So I have no problem knowing my tax dollars might go to a noose for somebody who gets a kick out of hurting children. In fact, I might sleep better knowing there is one less piece of s*** in the world, and knowing that piece of s*** will never walk the streets again due to making parole by some f***ed up chance. If there is no doubt, kill 'em.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) An extreme viewpoint, some would say. :rolly But he should be locked up for life just because of that hairdo. Might be extreme, but IMO, anybody who harms a child deserves to die.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Didn't Generation X have Billy Idol? Yes. He was amazing back then, especially on the Valley Of The Dolls album.

I guess there is a chance he could face a firing squad. No joke there. Just find it nice to see a country that gets it.

God, it's turning into a Clash Love-fest here. Don't get me wrong, I like The Clash quite a bit. I think their first album is amazing, even the US version (that's the one with "Jail Guitar Doors" for crying out loud!). I just don't think they were as great a band as they are made out to be. Hell, they aren't even the best band out of the 70's UK scene. I'll take The Damned, Chelsea, and Generation X to name a few, over them any day. But I DO like them a bunch.

From a guy who writes and plays music on a daily basis: Zappa = Genius. That guy was just incredible. I don't expect any other opinion though out of somebody who always wished he could, but couldn't.

I got both of my kids to smile for the first time by singing and dancing.

I'm not so sure I want to reply to Critic's disagreement with me about The Clash, especially when I went to length's to talk about "PERSONAL OPINION'S". You can't use "influence", as ABBA, Shaun Cassidy and the Village People surely influenced quite afew people, as did Milli Vanilli. And then you can't say anything about "value" to the music world, as in somebodies eyes RnR and it's like are pure crap anyways...because it is all about personal opinions and tastes. ...pain in my f***ing ass...

Being a silly goof I was going to say "Helter Skelter". But seriously? As soon as that kid gets the slightest smile ability going, put on "Obladee Oblada" and get your dancing shoes on.

First things first, I forgot one: Last Great Day - Hardcore Superstar. No other song was written with so many hooks, or meant to be played REAL loud in the summer, while driving down the road with your windows open or the top down. Easily one of the 5 greatest songs ever. I dare you to play it and NOT get your foot tapping. QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Nov 20, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) This is not meant as a slam, and I'm not looking to fight , but...everytime I see a list of songs that someone has on their iPod it looks like this. A bunch of songs by a bunch of bands that I've never heard. What, nobody listens to U2? Nobody likes to throw in the Rolling Stones Greatest Hits? Ever heard of Willie Nelson? Wasn't "Appetite for Destruction" as important to anyone else as it was to me? That said, I wish I had the pc knowledge and power to download the songs on your list. I'd like to give them a spin. Oh, and "What's Goin' On?" is an awesome song. It will remain pertinent for eternity. Now to this. No, I don't listen to U2, especially nowdays. Pompous, arrogant, and full of bulls*** anymore, and leading me to believe that they always were. If I had to pick songs from them though, I would have to go with "I Will Follow" or their first, Boy, but even that is just a good song. For my overly preachy rock band songs, I will rank "Read About It" by Midnight Oil much, much, much higher than anything U2 ever did. And from their own country, I will take The Alarm from the first EP and their first two albums Declaration and Strength long before I would take U2. But that is just me. I'm not trying to be a snooty kind of guy, and if you look at my list you will realize that. IMO, the people that pepper their lists with either the old standards such as Hendrix, Zep, Beatles, etc. are the "annoying" ones to a degree. When I see lists such as those, and you see nothing "obscure", it tells me that the people really haven't given very many bands a chance unless they first heard them in the car on their way to work, or at a college/high school party. There is so much music out there that to believe that anything you hear on the radio is the "greatest" is crazy. To believe that the songs I have listed are "the greatest" is silly. I have thousands of CD's/tapes/records/MP3 files around my house, so you better believe I will find something better than friggin' "Help!", which I do love, BTW. The other thing about that list I have there, is that not always is a favorite song done by a favorite band. Heck, some of the bands I love the most (The Damned, The Replacements, Hanoi Rocks, The Lords Of The New Church, Dead Boys, to name a few) are not on that list. If I were to add them I would have to go: Noise, Noise, Noise, Sick Of Being Sick (from The Peel Sessions), There Ain't No Sanity Clause, Rabid (Over You), Video Nasty (single edition), Is It A Dream?, I Think I'm Wonderful, plus many more... - The Damned And each band would end up like that. It's hard to pick a fave. It's all personal preferance, there truely is no "Greatest Song Ever". If you believe that U2 has the greatest songs ever, then they do. If you believe that The Rolling Stones were (you can't count them anymore) the greatest RnR band ever, then they were. Part of my reason for participating in these lists is so that somebody like you might see a song title, a band name, read that description I gave, and actually go "hmmm, Hardcore Superstar eh? That sounds interesting..." and then maybe take the time to track something down of theirs. Do I think the song I list of theirs smokes everything The Beatles did? You betcha. Doesn't mean you will, but you might. Also, not all of the bands on my list do I think are "Gods". Yes, many of them. But I also believe The Clash are one of the most overrated bands in the history of music. I like them, but think they turned out a ton of crap. Plus, the album my song from them appears on, London Calling is, IMO, one of the (if not THE) most overrated albums in music. But again, this is all my opinion. No, I'm not arguing with you. But you do have a "discussion" now, which I think is the intended purpose of this thread.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 20, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) Totally agree. Absof***inglutely, Agnostic Front has long been a favorite of mine just becuase of the pure power that their music gives off. Before every football or baseball game I played in for the past 6 years I'd pop my Victim in Pain/Cause for Alarm CD into my walkman and zone out. The only other album that could get me going like that is "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" by Avenged Sevenfold. Cause For Alarm was the most badass record at that time! I remember buying it on it's release and just staring at by stereo, mouth agape, and in awe of what poured out of those speakers. "Toxic Shock", phew...wow. "Public Assistance", dangerous lyrics, but it gained them a bit of fame and really got a message out there with the following talk show circuit that Stigma and Miret ended up on. The other album from that time that was just as good was The Cro-Mags Age Of Quarrel. Neither band ever matched those albums. Miret also had something weird happen to his voice, and he never gained back what made him so great on CFA.

Small quantities, yes. I'm the only one in my house that likes it at all though, so I rarely ever have the stuff. But I do like it.

Can we have a "There's a war in Iraq still???" option?

Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson. You can't beat that tune for anything. It has the hooks, it has the energy, it has the vocals. It has been covered a few times, but nobody comes close to the original. Kayleigh/Lavender/Bitter Suite - Marillion. It's part of their concept album, so all three run together, but most of us fans view them pretty much as one song, as the theme in music continues in the last section. Train In Vain - The Clash. I'm amazed that I have seen this song slammed on here. It might not be the blistering PUNK that The Clash had done in the past, but it is an amazing song regardless with some of the best lyrics and greatest double tracked vocals ever commited to vinyl. You want perfect emotion in vocals, this song has it all over. Sometime To Return - Soul Asylum. Perfection, plain and simple. The song roars along and doesn't give you anytime to relax. This was such a great band who should have stayed broken up. But money from a Major Label suckered them to reform, and well...yeah... I Was Wrong - Social Distortion. Pure brilliance, pure honesty. You want to hear what it's like when somebody lets their soul bleed, this song is it. Miss Judy's Farm - Faces. When they come out of the break, and Kenny Jones tears it up on the drums, no other band at this time had that kind of intensity. You're My Girl - Faces. The only evidence really needed to prove that they were indeed the greatest Rock N Roll band to ever exist. (I'm aware this is a cover...but their version is the one I am talking about for being amazing) Race Against Time - Charged GBH. It starts the Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne album off, and man, what a start! You hear the tape start, and then Colin yells "GO!", and the drums kick in, from there on out, it's all a case of pure intensity. Even once the drums stop on the beginning, it's just a calm before the storm. This Ain't Called Anything Yet - Soho Roses. Not familiar with Soho? Not surprised. They were a Glam/Punk band in the late 80's in the UK. 2 EP's and a full length is all they put out. This song closes out the LP Third and Final Insult. They knew this was all they would do, as they broke up right after it was released. A blistering ditty in the stylings of The Buzzcocks hanging with The Rolling Stones. Solid Gold Easy Action - T-Rex. Easily the greatest, truest, most perfect Glam song ever written and or recorded. T-Rex had so many great songs, but this one is easily at the top for me. Supper's Ready - Genesis. 20+ minutes, hooks all over the place in the music and in the vocals, and killer lyrics. Beautiful and vicious all within the same song. Prog Rock can be seriously pretentious, but it can also turn out some amazing music, and this song is that proof. Behind The Crooked Cross - Slayer. Streamlined, quick, powerful, and intense. Whatever you do, DON'T play this thing when driving the interstate! You will get a ticket for sure. The Eliminator - Agnostic Front. From the beginning guitar drop, this song blazes. Pure venom, and pure fighting music. Why do people play stuff like AC/DC and bands of that sort to get worked up, when stuff of this sort exists? Shall I keep going? Too many bands in this world and through time to narrow this down easily. I have a bunch more, but these are the ones that spring to mind.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) Maybe the White House plan is for them to just let us all get numbed to it all, because certainly that is what is starting to happen. "Starting to happen"? You kidding, I've been numb to what those nut in the Middle East have been doing to themselves for pretty much my whole life. What's new? It's a bit of a sick running joke at work. Everyday we open CNN or whatever and somebody yells out a "OH MY GOD!!! There was a car bomb explosion in_________". I really don't remember a time when they weren't killing themselves. The thing I am amazed about is that there are any of them left. I mean, surely they must be getting to the end of the barrel sooner than later...right?
