I am beginning to think Rush is the most maligned band of all time. I know you were joking, but this is the second time I have heard a slam on them today. The DJ introduced Tom Sawyer by saying "Here is the worst band ever from Canada." WTF is that all about, they don't say that shit about other bands.

I think my list would have surprised ya, but judging by the comments on here, you must have all the answers.

Christalmighty, I knew KISS had/has an Army....you're like RUSHs guidon. I think if the members of the band saw how you were carrying on...they'd kindly ask you to remove their cocks from your mouth and get a ****ing life.

Are you kidding me?

Here's a hint for you:

At least 75% of the comments made about Rush on this bulletin board are a DIRECT ATTEMPT to piss you off and really have nothing to do with Rush at all. Because everybody knows you'll react just like you did here...

Do you really want people to think of you instead of Hootie when someone says "drama queen"?

Hence my analogy below. Just like with the anti-Christian comments intended to piss off Believer, people go after Rush here.

Because his comments about Rex Grossman being a white quarterback were just so wrong..... ooops wrong forum.

Favorite Album of 2006 -Chili Peppers- Stadium Arcadium

(The Chili Peppers are most often thought of as a late 80s and 90s band, but I think they are getting better as they go, although Mother's Milk and B.S.S.M. are both excellent albums)

Favorite Musical Decade - late 60s to early 70s (1965-1975)

Favorite Band (from that decade, not already listed) - King Crimson
Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade -Rolling Stones- Gimme' Shelter


I can't believe how mainstream my choices look. I guess some popular bands actually deserve it.

Background: I'm a child of the 60's. I grew up listening to James Taylor, Carley Simon, The Righteous Brothers, Bob Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkle. After being shipped off to Viet Nam in 69, I came back a Country and Western fan and remained so almost to the current day. Johnny Cash and George Jones stick out in my mind the most from that period. The Hair bands of the whatever era that was made me want to puke. To this day I still do not own an album by Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, or Van Halen. I admit I'm left high and dry by any man who has to look like a woman to sing. Just a little over a year ago I decided to see what I had been missing all my life. For the last 18 months I have been sampling as much rock/hard rock/metal/heavy metal as I can find. Some of it is very good, some of it I can live without ever hearing again.
So anyway, I jumped into the rock scene with no preconceived ideas of what is supposed to be good or bad (except for the obvious exception of hair bands). This, without further ado, is my list.

Favorite Album (1960's) - Bod Dylan's Greatest Hits
Favorite Band/Artist (1960's) - The Righteous Brothers

Favorite Album (1970's) - A Question of Balance - The Moody Blues
Favorite Band/Artist (1970's) - Jethro Tull

Favorite Album (1980's) - Back in Black - AC/DC
Favorite Band/Artist (1980's) AC/DC

Favorite Album (1990's) - Monster Magnet, "Powertrip" or Metallica - Metallica
Favorite Band (1990's) - Metallica

Favorite Album (2001-2005) - ?
Favorite Album of 2006 - Stadium Arcade - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Favorite Musical Decade - flexible
Favorite Band not yet mentioned - Motorhead; Guns and Roses; Kamelot
Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade - She Hates Me - Puddle of Mud

I don't know which is funnier: that you actually SOUND like an old geezer, or the fact that we had several entries in common.

It's hard not to sound like an when you're 61 years old. However, I know what I like and what I don't, and I don't usually have too much trouble getting my point across.
