Did you really just compare Mod MMG to Nixon? Umm...

Agreed. This is great seeing lists on the front page again.

Yes, it's a diuretic (Definition) as said earlier in the topic. Just don't break the seal and you'll be fine :thumbup:

How about a compromise: violent sex? Maybe not.

Or that music is infinitely more accessable than it was 30 years ago when metal first caught on, giving smaller, unheard of metal bands the chance to shine, and even bigger metal bands the chance to make it on a lot larger scale. With all the subgenres of metal out there now, "metal" is the mindset and whichever style you choose to play is your genre. Or at least that's what I've drawn from it. I usually look at things a little differently than most though.

There's no way he could have possibly known about all of that. Even if he had an inkling of what might be coming, there's no way he could put the all pieces together and react to each one perfectly. He was just in the right place at the right time and knows how the market works.

Jeeps.

Yeaaaahhhhh right. You only say that now that you've posted it ;)

The Volta can be hit or miss and a lot of times miss. I know friends of mine that saw them around 2003-04 when De-Loused came out and they were touring with the Chili Peppers and they sucked live. Now, I've seen them twice and they were awesome both times. It just depends on when and where you saw them because if they don't like what is going on at the venue, they're going to suck. But yeah, great list dude. Haven't heard of a good chunk of these albums and I've been looking for new stuff.

Brilliant. Hopefully the traditional view of who should be in politics continues to crumble.

Best part of a poorly written, overly-wordy, and haphazardly structured article. Seriously, the article sucked but I absolutely loved some of the points and clever jabs the author threw in. This quote could not be any truer; viewers of movies and television seem to have lost their ability to think about what they are watching and need the punch-line explained to them with nudity and sex. It can't be left to the imagination, which is a shame. Sex and nudity in films *typically* takes away from the film in my opinion.

Yeah, exactly. There are so many bands that have been inspired by The Who's vivacious rock style. Of course they didn't make as big of an impact as The Beatles, but there are many other bands who caused music to evolve. Black Sabbath is another one. Maybe inspired, but surely not influenced musically and artistically. That is a huge difference.

No problem.

No. The Who did nothing to influence and change music compared to the Beatles (even though I hate the Beatles). They're awesome and I love them, but The Who just played rock 'n' roll. While the Beatles were introspecting and becoming better artists, The Who was busy smashing their guitars and destroying their equipment.

I don't use last.fm, but wtf? How is there a better way to find music, efficiency aside? I guess to be fair there isn't anything wrong with using last.fm but to me it just feels like cheating. Every artist is spoon fed to you by your previous selections of music. It's like "Hey, you like this band, well you MUST like this band." Last.fm is good if you just want to listen to the same sounding stuff over and over again. For me, I look up artists on Wikipedia to see who they collaborated with, who their producer was, who else that producer has produced, and maybe I'll find a new artist that I like. I guess I just find music my own convoluted way.

Not much more can be added to this thread that hasn't already been said except for exaggerated drinking stories but I'll throw in a few tips for you. If you're afraid of throwing up, stick to beer. From what I've seen, many inexperienced drinkers go hog wild with the mixed drinks without knowing what they're getting into and end up getting their stomachs pumped or vomming their guts out for hours. But if you want to drink mixed drinks, just drink them slow and mix them light. I know 50/50s sounds like a good idea, but it's really not. And finally, absolutely know what proof or % alcohol your liqour is. And just to be safe, don't let anyone but yourself mix your drinks. It sounds cheesy but you'll never be sorry.

I'll listen to the soundtrack from The Fountain. I can't even remember one song from it but I think it might have been similar to Requiem for a Dream's. Good list, short and sweet!

La la la la life goes on.

I hate the kids that can't find music on their own and have to use last.fm to get it. I usually end up hating the bands that they suggest anyways. And I'm trying my best to not post a pro-Tool paragraph :grin: Bands I hate that all of you probably love and by no means do the following statements have any personal relevance to any one of you so please don't freak out when I call your favorite artist terrible. You are the one that came on the "Most overrated band/artist" thread in the first place: Nirvana---Kurt Cobain couldn't even stay alive to take care of his own daughter. Addict piece of garbage. I don't care how "deep" your lyrics are, your voice still sounds like you're taking a dump. Not to mention that his martyrdom led to the spawning of hundreds of other singers like Shaun Morgan of Seether and 1 in 3 other 2000s mainstream rock vocalists. The Beatles---Blah blah we're on acid and can't play worth a [cabbage] live blah blah. That's all I hear on their albums. Rush---I'm a drummer and I'm even beginning to think these guys are overrated. Now they're not garbage, but their stuff just doesn't do it for me anymore. I could go on for hours about all the bands I hate. Pick anything that came out in the last 10 years and I'll probably hate it.

My list was like 60% jazz. Go on there if you want to find some new stuff.

Upcoming Combat Triangle Rebalance The Greatest Triangular Issue. Magic Is Overpowered. All on the first page. Yuck.

Jazz Fusion. Mmm

Goes in the regular forum. And it doesn't have to be 75. I think I did like 45?

It's not supposed to be about action and fighting. It's about the intense mental strain that Vietnam put on soldiers and how completely [bleep]ed up a soldier can become when put in a hellhole like Vietnam.
