estranged 16

I actually have three copies of Animal Farm (I've no idea why) yet have never read 1984. I really should.

read 1984, it's a great book though there might be some boring parts here and there.

has anyone read pride and prejudice? im supposed to be reading that this summer for AP Literature class

i think it would be best if appetite for destruction was not an option

recently been gettin into them... any fans?

Have you checked out Mad Season?

weird that you asked him that because i just started listening to them today. im planning on listening to more of their stuff

That's sexy.

Anyway, the album is ace! Check out the tune, Long Gone Day.

yeah i definitely will. as of right now, i really like 'river of deceit'. it sort of reminds me of jar of flies.

alice in chains is fucking incredible. easily my second favorite band after GNR. Layne has one of the greatest voices i have ever heard. i can't decide what my favorite song is though. it's between Rooster, Real Thing, and Nutshell.

that's a little different though. when i plug it into my computer, it's just a quick update to add all my new songs and it freezes instantly. it isn't really a big problem, but it just gets annoying after a while

i have an ipod video nano and every time i try to sync it onto itunes, the screen of the ipod freezes. this is usually solved by me doing the 'reset' by pressing the menu and play button but it's just really frustrating because it's been happening for a while now..and it's every single time that i sync it. any suggestions on how to fix it?

only a few off the top of my head:

Dr. Dre- the chronic

Dr. Dre- 2001

Snoop Dogg- Doggystyle

The Game- The Documentary

The Game- LAX

Lil Wayne- Tha Carter III

Lil Wayne- Tha Carter I

I want a Rooster II.

that would be

haven't heard duvall's voice but i'll def check it out. i love AIC

i use this with no problems. it's really easy to use and should work

P-P-P-P-POKERFACE.

we have a winner.

and wtffff is up with her legs in that picture??

i don't think they will ever be as great as GnR infact i don't think anyone will ever even come close!

That's a really stupid thing to say, GNR are NOT the greatest band ever.

i think they mean that GNR was the last hugely famous rock band. and that no other band nowadays can get to the same level. i agree in a way

who is this 'fregie' you speak of?

the thing is, all the mainstream rock acts are so bland. there's no iconic frontman or guitarist or band as a whole. everything is just boring and similar. they're all faceless bands to me. there's nothing special anymore imo

that looks awesome. it'd be nice if GNR ever did something like that. too bad it's not a functional band and fans get treated like crap

About the sunglasses....don't forget Mr. Stradlin and Mr. McKagan in your sig.

true. but i realized december pain was being sarcastic. time for me to delete my post lol

see--THAT is a song that will be remembered for a longggg time

madison, knowing you're a huge fan of NIN, here are some interesting things for you to look at:

- Trent Reznor personally asked Snoop Dogg AND Dr Dre to help him record a song for the Natural Born Killers soundtrack in 1994

- Trent personally enlisted Ice Cube to remix a track on his David Bowie collaboration, "I'm Afraid of Americans"

- Trent credited hip-hop and its revolutionary use of beats with allowing him to create Pretty Hate Machine, because without it, the ideas and technology wouldn't have existed

- Trent produced a full rap album by Saul Williams

- Trent attempted to create a full rap album with Timbaland (leading to Chris Cornell's diss on Twitter yesterday after Reznor slammed his Timbaland album)

- Trent rapped on El-P's song "Flyentology"

- Trent brought Dr. Dre into the studio to mix two songs on The Fragile (and he was reported to have helped mix the entire album)

One of your favorite musicians is heavily influenced by rap and has collaborated with rappers.

and she loses all credibility. :/ ..

Sorry if the truth hurts.

besides 50 cent, those are all legit names in the rap industry..so i think it's you that lives an incredibly sheltered life madison. NWA is one of the most influential rap groups of all time. any rapper will tell you that they were influenced by NWA. just because you prefer rock over rap doesn't mean you can totally discredit it as shit. those names mentioned are NOT 'flavor-of-the-month' as you said. dr dre hasn't released an album since 1999 and people still talk about him and have an interest in him and his projects. those guys are very well known and have legacies, just like GNR and all those other bands you mentioned do. snoop dogg has put out great music. so has dr dre. so has NWA. so has eminem. the list goes on for all these critically acclaimed rap albums. but of course, rap is 'shit' so these critics have no idea what they're talking about.

don't be ignorant.

Oh please - do you honestly believe that if Snoop put out a "best of" album in 20 years from now that it would sell millions of copies the way that GNR's album did? If you believe this, then you - and your pal InThisRiver - have truly gone down the river and are in denial. Seriously, the next generation of kids won't even know Snoop's name, let alone his music.

i'm sure if he released a 'best of' it would be very successful. idk about estimates, but it would sell well. snoop dogg is an icon in rap music. he's no soulja boy. he'll be remembered for a long time to come. if you don't believe that, i'm inclined to believe you live under a rock.

See,rap can even touch a young white girl who wasn't even born when Snoop/Dre were hitting it big.

funny thing is, i listened to rap all the time before i even thought about listening to rock. now i love em both equally.

anyone who doesn't like 'nuthing but a G thang' isnt worth my time

... Who has given rise to some one the most important artists of our time?

Dre (Snoop, ODB, NWA, Eminem, 50 cent) ..

You consider these bands to be the "the most important artists of our time?" ...

Wow - I can only assume you're about 15 years old or have led an incredibly sheltered life when it comes to music.

All of those names created flavor-of-the-month music that people won't even remember in 15 or 20 years from now. The real musicians of our time are the ones who can create timeless music - lyrics and music that will have as much significance to someone 20 years from now as it does today. That's why truly gifted bands like Led Zeppelin, the Doors, and even Aerosmith are still going strong today. New generations of kids are discovering their music - and relating to it. The same will not be true with the pointless trendy lyrics that the bands you named wrote. ... GNR fits into the "gifted bands" category too. Do you really think that if Snoop puts out a "best of" album in 20 years from now that it will sell millions of copies the way GNR's music has?
