Are you suggesting the realtor himself might have purchased it?

Anyone else think that 'Chelsea Lately' chick is hot? She kinda has b**** face, but is hot at the same time.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 25, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) No comeback for that song around here. At the time the song came out I thought it was too overproduced, but I've grown to like it more over time. Midtown did a good cover version. It's being pounded into my head again, it's not a bad tune. I thought maybe someone used it in a film or commercial recently.

You older guys might remember a song called "I don't wanna lose your love" by The Outfield, kind of a big radio hit in the 80's. Anyway, that song gets a LOT of heavy rotation around here. It's always on the radio and playing at the bars. I hadn't heard that song in like 15 years. Has it made some kind of comeback?....or is it just around here?

I got a flu shot a couple of weeks ago. Having a flu in the heat is the worst. I vowed not to go through it again. The worst part for me is the stuffy nose. Take Sudafed non drowsy, that will clear it out for sure.

" A white man gets a rifle and shoots deer, that's a sport. A black man fights dogs and that's a crime"-- Cris Rock. That comment was meant as a joke, but seriously, isn't hunting just as bad???

Yep mine is out too. Unlimited texting for $5.00 a month saves my calling minutes.

Was it El Duque or Contreras who got busted trying to leave Cuba?

The story seems to imply that the song alone was enough to get a conviction. I don't see how that's possible. Clealry, the whole rap thing isns't paying off. A good attorney would have probably gotten the guy off.

Criminal. The guy's health issues didn't keep him from digging holes in his back yard.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 11:30 AM) I like PJ, but let's be honest - Eddie is more of a mumbler than a singer. There is a really long list of Vedder wannabes.

How about 'The Twilight Singers' themselves, Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan??

Take it easy.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) You guys are so funny, if people don't like the bands you like they don't know about music??? KG wrote that he didn't understand people not liking 'The Mats' at all. All I'm saying is that when I have that strong attachmen to a band, it's difficult to hear the other side.

Blow is a waste of time and money. If I need to be that wound up to do something, I probably have no business doing it. Pot is fun when you're young and care free. You laugh your ass off, music sounds phenomenal and sex is out of this world amazing. Later in life when you have real responsibilities on your plate, it just makes you paranoid about all the s*** you have going on. By the way, I say energy drinks will be banned in a year.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) Yeah...as usual, not so sure about this list. As someone (LMB, maybe?) pointed out, there's a big difference between singer and vocalist -- if it's the former, Dylan shouldn't be anywhere near it, but the latter probably top 20. If I had to do a quick top 5 vocalists.... 5. Stevie Winwood/Eddie Vedder/Chris Cornell/someone else 4. Aretha Franklin 3. Freddie Mercury 2. Sam Cooke 1. Brad Delp Besides Cornell, the other Chris that is missing is Robinson.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 07:10 PM) Yeah, but it's just a personal feeling for me and if you were to tell me that Jefferson Airplane or Nirvana was better, then I wouldn't argue with you really. They just happen to encompass everything I think a great RnR band needs to have. I understand why some might not love them as much as some do. What I don't get are the people who don't like then at all. I know what you mean. I respect people's tastes, BUT there are some bands that if someone were to tell me they didn't like, then I'd have to say that person doesn't know music.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) IMO The Replacements are without a doubt the greatest band this country has ever turned out. Yeah, I said that and I stand by it. The attitude, the energy, the brilliant hooks, Westerbergs voice, the incredible lyrics, nobody else had what they did. While my favorite stuff was through Pleased To Meet Me (such an incredible energy and power on that album), I do like Don't Tell A Soul quite a bit. One of the few "sell-outs" that actually resulted in quality material, though unlike the material the band has staked its reputation on. But after that Westerberg fell apart and has only partially pulled it together again in recent years. Tommy proved to be a great writer on his own, and more like what The Mats were. Chris Mars solo albums were the most amazing surprise though, and it is a shame he has given it up. The Replacements were the closest thing this country will ever see to Faces, IMO. Every Replacement fan I know feels the same way. It's a hell of a claim.

Two birds with one stone. Two of the top 100 singers of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpPWqToAriY

What I liked was the unpredictable nature of their shows and the much more aggressive playing as compared to their recordings. If they tried to play a cover and they ("they" meaning Paul, of course) didn't like the way it was turning out, they'd just stop and ditch the song. Stuff like that makes a show more interesting to me than a slick, produced, choreographed show. I'm much more likely to enjoy a chaotic, spontaneous show - that's rock and roll to me. It was the booze dude.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) And I am trying to think of a criteria that would place Lennon ahead of McCartney in singing?? I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but didn't Lennon sing all the harmony parts on their early stuff? Vocally, that stuff is amazing.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 01:25 PM) I don't get too bent out of shape over these lists, but yeah, the ranking on some of these is crazy. I'm not a huge Journey fan (White Sox-related soft spot for them aside), but from a technical standpoint Steve Perry should be weay the hell higher than #76. Paul Rodgers should be moved up as well, and Freddie Mercury should have cracked the top 10. Also not the biggest Van Halen fan, but David Lee Roth doesn't even make the top 100?!? RS puts out one of these lists every 6 months it seems, just to generate discussion and interest in their mag. Agree on Perry and where are all the cheesy late 70's early 80's bands? Back then bands had singers, sometimes two or three of them in the same band.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 12:04 AM) I can't tie a tie to save my life. God this is frustrating. 99% of the knots that you see out there are wrong. Getting the dimple in it is the hardest part. The fabric that it's made of has a lot to do with it. A silky, slippery tie won't hold the knot very well.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) He's not the only one on the list that fits the discription of "not a good singer." Now, I wouldn't want the list to be all pure vocalists, and Dylan should probably be on the list somewhere for his unique voice, but it should be much lower on the list. Guys like Iggy Popp and Lou Reed are questionable, too. Singer and vocalist are two very different things. R & R has had few good singers.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) I don't agree, at least not through Pleased To Meet Me. I listen to a lot of their stuff to this day, and it still holds up well to my ears. Of course I'm biased because the Replacements have a near and dear place in my heart. I loved the Mats, and they put on one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen. They were kind of sloppy live, but I've rarely had more fun at a concert. See THAT"S exactly it. They built a rep on being a drunk, sloppy mess on stage. I think that had a lot to do with their popularity. Not to say that their fans don't enjoy their music, but there's some weird fascination that people have about watching musicians drinking themselves to death. ...and why the hell are they called the Mats?
