this is the same crowd that likes the grateful dead for which I am greatful they"re dead

What's funny about Crash's taste in music is he thinks it's good and what Beethoven would listen to. You just can't make this shit up. Christ on a fucking cross, he would probably order a Peter Luger steak well done and drench it in ketchup along with his salad drowning in ranch.

Crash is a basic white girl, sitting on a Yeti cooler in a Hot Topic outfit, belting out Linkin Park tunes, and trying to figure out which Affliction shirt will best go with his stone washed jeans and Sketchers when he takes the family out later to a "nice" Olive Garden dinner.

Jealously eyeing Mecca's Member's Only jacket when he gets there...

I'm an REO fan

I rarely if ever skip by pearl jam/metallica/zeppelin/linkin park/breaking Benjamin/rush/Fleetwood mac/Kansas/REO/Floyd songs

I agree with Crash except for Fleetwood Mac. Only a couple of songs and I skip the rest.

Stones - Paint it black, Sympathy for the devil, Gimme Shelter, Honky Tonk Women

Beatles - Helter Skelter, Home comes the sun, While my guitar gently weeps

Fleetwood - Rhiannon, Gypsy

Pink Floyd never gets passed over. Period.

Kansas - Just to yell You're MY BOY BLUE!!!

Pencils down. it's over. AA wins the week.

"Beatles - Helter Skelter, Home comes the sun, While my guitar gently weeps"

You blot out the sun...

"I'm an REO fan"

I'm guessing your favorite is Riding the storm out...

As the years go by AA's delirium worsens now to the point he imagines even fantasizes of days gone by where the beatles and the stones were relevant.

nice to see his houseboys ice and hedge nipping at his heels hoping for a morsel will be thrown there way looking to please the master

the truly disturbing part is the ease he throws around phrases I'm not familiar with like hot tropic, affliction skirt, stone washed, and sketchers but I will take a nice olive garden dinner over the peter Luger steak tab he's got that right.

I imagine back in the day AA envisioned himself as royalty for all the common folk to serve ----king of the hill, top dog head honcho. sad to see ice and hedge take the bait so easily

The Stones aren't relevant but Linkin Park and Kansas are? Olive Garden over Peter Luger's? Then some contrived, nonsensical 'head honcho' ridiculousness?

That was possibly the weakest return volley in the history of this board.


I'm embarrassed for him. Genuinely.

Who you calling boy?!?!

If I'm ever in the mood, rare as it is these days, for droning 70's guitar rock, I just cut the bullshit and put in Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo. Great White Buffalo, Stranglehold, Baby Please Don't Go. And the ultimate energizer for barely pubescent teen boys: This is a love song, I'd like to dedicate this to all that Nashville pussy! This is a little love song called Wang Dang Sweet Poontang!

Anybody wants to get mellow you can turn around and get the fuck outta here!

no, its Don't Let Him Go but I admit that's probably their gayest song

CCR - Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen the Rain.

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing (Alchemy), Money for Nothing

Finally, someone with some taste.

CCR is underappreciated. I certainly put them above (way above) any of the bands on crash's foul list...

Dear Gru and his minions

my foul list does include Dire Straits--just saw knoffler in Kansas city earlier this year- one of top 5 guitarists of all time

but you men.......better ice?.....keep enjoying your hey jude, satisfaction, twist and shout, honky tonk and your long and winding road

and I'll keep playing physical graffiti, darkside of the moon, LZ 4, the wall, crime of the century, leftoverture and ten

and gru you enjoy your cohiba, glenfiddich and mortons and Alabama football, and I'll enjoy PBR, white castle and a unbanded cigar of the month and kstate football

I didn't mention Brothers in Arms because Knopfler did better with the song after Dire Straits ended.

I can't find a music download of this rendition on Amazon, could only find on youtube .

Actually, you had a few keepers on your list, but the bad ones fouled it overall. The appeal to what you perceive Beethoven would like was the icing on the cake, though...

FWIW, I'm definitely a Beatles > Stones guy, with the further refinement of Lennon >> McCartney...

BRM, this is for you, since you mentioned Helter Skelter (one of Paul's better contributions to the Beatles catalog):
