IV is untouchable. It didn't have to grow on me.....all the others did to like the whole album.

PJ for three main reasons,

1. Eddie has a better voice. I know this is a matter of personal opinion, but Bono just doesn't do it for me.

2. Pearl Jam seems so much more real. I actually feel the emotion in every PJ song I've ever heard. U2 seems to phone it in on a lot of songs.

3. Pearl Jam has a much better opinion of themselves than U2. I can't get past Bono commenting that they're musically "somewhere that no other band has been". Bono seems so elitist about his music whereas Eddie is very down to earth about the band's abilities.

They both do a lot for the good outside of the music world, and I realize that it's Bono who sours me on U2 rather than the whole band (especially after I saw This Might get Loud....Edge was cool in that), but I don't even think it's close, and PJ is better.

My new least favorite female character from a movie is George Clooney's girlfriend from Up In the Air. Douche!

Let's start comparing Axl and Lil'Wayne now! I mean wow, they are from the same genre, they display the same type of skills in their music, and comparing them would be totally valid and productive!!

Wow, most of that list is composed of crap. I'm getting old.

Hmm...will there be any backlash from attacking the photographer at LAX? I haven't been paying attention to that. Hope he won't be sharing a cell with the Quaids.

He sounded great at Vegas New Years' 01, too bad all you suckers weren't there!

I think he sounds really good in TIL after about 2 minutes. The beginning was shaky.

I can't wait to watch all of that....

BTW, to those people commenting about acquiring audio rips instead. You can personally do that. Once we all get access to the video files you can rip the audio as it plays on your computer.

I'm a PC user and I use "Audacity" to record the WAV output on my computer. Besides that, it's an excellent, FREE, cross-platform audio program. Plus, it's safe.

You shouldn't have crossed Dexter...you would have made a great team.

Wait, are you Slash?

My cousin let me borrow his copy of Audioslave and I just straight-up don't understand the appeal to the album. It's gotta be among the most boring I've ever listened to in full.

You fuckin kidding me? I consider it one of the best rock albums of the past 20 years, such a breath of fresh air from all the shitty Pearl Jam and Creed followers that were all over the radio back then, but I'm also a huge fan of both Soundgarden and RATM. Now the other two Audioslave albums... eh

Did you just call Pearl Jam shitty AND mention them in the same sentence as CREED? For shame.

Billy's voice just doesn't work for it.

Also, anyone who picks anything other than Zero for their best song is insane.

One once popular gem that alot of people haven't heard is their cover of the Cars song You're All I've Got Tonight.

Pirate Radio this weekend....it was pretty good.

The chick in Paranormal Activity has great tits.

+1. Best part of that movie

In the last 5 weeks, I've seen 5 movies at the theater...here's my rankings

1. Zombieland: Hot hell it was funny! I wanna double tap some zombies.

2. the Hangover: this was at the second run theater in town, and wow, it was funny. In fact, it's really a toss up with Zombieland.

3. Inglorious Basterds: the guy who played the Jew Hunter was awesome, and Pitt was great. Also a second run movie.

4. Men Who Stare at Goats: had some really good parts, led by Obi Wan Kenobi not knowing what the hell a Jedi was, and running into a rock in Iraq, but there was too much down time for it to compete with the other three. Still a good movie, though.

5. Paranormal Activity: scary parts, but the man's name is Michah (long I), not Meeka (like the chick in Eurotrip), and she didn't take her shirt off. Also, please let me know how, after there's conclusive proof of a demon existing, you don't call a "demonologist"RIGHT AWAY?!?!

the Chronic?

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

like the only pink floyd song i ever hear on the radio

Really?!?!

Some of the things people are putting on here are just not overplayed in my market. I think some people are just putting up songs that they don't like.

I never hear GNR or Pink Floyd on the radio

I hear both quite a bit, but not Run Like Hell...too much comfortably numb.

I guess it depends upon what you listen to...I have one classic rock station, one kinda 80s-today pop station, one "alternative" rock station, and one overall rock station that are my regulars. I hear lots of Jungle, PC, and SCOM, though the last station has a DJ that LOVES gnr, so he plays some oddballs....Used to Love Her, still plays CD quite a bit.

you live in the states tho', GNR still get alot of airplay over there, in the UK there is nothing on the radio

I find that, being from Alaska, I don't get the same radio play that the lower 48 gets, but yes, here I hear a lot of GnR.

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

nickleback is fucking awful.

axl rose is a rockstar.

chad kroger thinks he is a rockstar. he is trying to convince himself of this so much that he released a song about how he is a rockstar. hes a douchebag, its a fact folks.

How so? (playing Devils Advocate here). He's a lot more successful in the last 10 years than Axl Rose has been.

So what makes someone a "rock star?"

Edgy music, originality, interesting persona, obviously has to play something that would fit in the rock genre, some degree of commercial success despite their musical stylings and personality.

Nickelback has about half of one of those qualifications, and none of the important ones.

I think we should rewrite Rockstar into Douchebag and send it to Kroger.

Edgy music? Springsteen isn't what you might call 'edgy' but he's a fucking rockstar. Not since the 50s/60s/70s have many bands been 'original' it all stems from Rock N Roll, Blues, Soul, Funk...just louder and faster, or more progressed in a way.

Nickelback are a that make good music, are modern Rock Stars, and play to hundreds of thosuands every year, and have done for 5-10 years. Must be doing something right.

Springsteen was edgy...what you stated is possibly the most eliteist shit I've heard on this forum. So nothing original came out of the 80s?!?! Or the 90s?!?! GnR was original, as was Van Halen's guitar work. The Cure was original (though I didn't really dig them)...Nirvana's in the same boat. Pearl Jam was original, though Eddie never wanted nor took to the Rock Star label. Nickelback capitalized on a shift in musical taste and an absence of a clean, easy to digest rock band. In no way are they rock stars in the sense of the 50s-00s.

Miley Cyrus plays to hundreds of thousands too, you know

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

like the only pink floyd song i ever hear on the radio

Ya, their lyrics are horrid, and their riffs aren't even catchy anymore. Haven't liked them since How You Remind Me.

Never knew that Always on my Mind was Elvis and not Willie until I dug up some of my sisters' old records and heard Elvis doing it. Weird.

LAWL to call Zep unoriginal.

meh..

plus, the Beatles were actually a huge hit when they came to America. I now can say that two Oasis songs are in American pop culture general IQ, and one is because of a video game

Though there are probably more stones songs in my top 1000 songs of all time, they are not diverse enough...gotta give it to the Beatles. Now Zeppelin, that's another story.

STP has actual guitar solos...for that alone, but many other reasons, I refuse to call them grunge.

Early 90's rock bands best of?

1. STP 2. Pearl Jam 3. Soundgarden 4. I dunno...maybe Candlebox

Never really got into AIC...they're OK.

Don't know enough Mudhoney to rate them.

Nirvana has a poor quality singer, and I care too much about that to say that I like them. Their music is good.

Stone Temple Pilots-Purple

Live-Throwing Copper

Led Zepplin-IV

maybe Metallica-the Black Album

Anthrax-State of Euphoria

AC/DC-Back in Black

there's probably some more

You know, I'm gone for a week for finals, and I miss it all....

Thanks Axl...come up to Anchorage and play the sully. AK is BEUTIFUL in the summer
