I'm voting for Public Enemy and Snoop.

Is this a misquote or did they really want to put his cock in their mouths?

But not illegal.

Actually it was this:



But yours works too.

TMBG got a 3rd vote! WOO HOO!!!

This is why I pick Bowie.

Yes, Iggy Pop is the lead singer of Iggy & the Stooges.

Murder was the case that they gave me.

I'm innocent! I'm innocent!

Ozzy. By a lot.

James Brown by a ridiculously large margin.

I just debated this in chat for like the last 15 minutes.

GnR gets the nod because while "In Utero" was close, it wasn't "every song is fucking amazing" like "Appetite" was.

Floyd.

Not really close.

Gary Charrone f/ Van Halen

Roots. These are the bands that won?

Depeche Mode

Seen 'em before, but they are a really great show.

Reel Big Fish

Bad Religion

Good point. The thing is:

1) Until I looked it up to post here, I honestly thought that MJ had done that solo, seeing as the other four contribute zilch, but now that I know that it's actually a J5 record...

2) I don't care.

Thank Christ. (That his "sound" is unique, I mean.)

Didn't they get caught in bed together at least once?

ROCK AND ROLL BABY!!!

Which channel do you listen to? The only songs I ever hear on the radio are The Boys Are Back In Town, which I admit, has been over played to death and Jailbreak, which, honestly, I very rarely heard anywhere until it popped up on a few video games. Cowboy Song very rarely gets played here. I know you're in Boston and since Thin Lizzy is Irish, the classic rock stations probably play them a bit more than the stations here in Houston or back in Dallas do, because Boston isn't just proud of it's Irish roots, it has to hammer everyone over the fucking head with it. The rest of the country gets it, Boston is proud of it's Irishness. Awesome. I wish they'd get the fuck over themselves already.


That kinda went to far. But to say that they are, let me see, is just plain retarded. You don't like them. Great. Get a grip on yourself and realize that oversaturation is not equivalent to being shitty and an abomination. Listen to some of their stuff other than what you've already heard. An overrated gem from the 70's that rock historians have pretty much agreed would have been HUGE in the states if Lynott had not had come down with hepatitus during the Jailbreak tour.

Metallica warms up their soundchecks by playing some Lizzy tracks, amongst other bands and they have influenced a shit ton of acts from the Cult, Maiden, U2, the Pumpkins, Def Leppard, Guns 'n Roses, and most of the 90's alternative movement and countless others. I'm pretty sure the boys from AiC were influenced by them, too.

The dual lead guitars weren't as common back in the day for a rockin' band like TL, and their drummer, Brian Downey was very good, if not great. Lynott's lyrics ranged from romantic poetry to talk about the life of the downtrodden to beautiful odes to his family to loving tributes to his Irish heritage. The arrangements were often on a grander scale than a lot of his contemporaries at the time and his bass playing wasn't too shabby, either.

And when he collaborated with the great Gary Moore, it was often epic. I've mentioned it before, and I will again, the album Black Rose is kick ass from start to finish. Whether it be the opening anthem of Do Anything You Want To to the gang like mentality of Toughest Street in Town to a loving ballad for his newborn daughter in My Sarah, the album starts off brilliantly. The song Got To Give It Up is a rocker that oversees his will to give up the drinking and drugs that consumed him. Sadly, like in a lot of our musical friends, that will was overpowered, making this song a tragic prophesy. A song definitely worth listening to. Waiting on an Alibi, Get Out of Here, and S&M are some of the better "deep" tracks on any album I've heard and With Love is another steller song that shouldn't be ignored. And the album closing title track is what rock is all about. Moores' guitar arrangement coupled with Downeys' flawless drums and Lynotts' Irish History lyrics are epic. It's truly a killer song from every aspect and is most certainly not an abomination and/or horrible. The album might be my favorite of all time and this isn't even their most popular work.

That would be their Jailbreak album, which doesn't have a weak song on it, regardless if any of them have been overplayed or not. And Live and Dangerous has been regarded as one of, if not the, greatest live albums of all time. It's true. Don't scoff because you don't particularly care for it or turn the channel everytime you hear one of their songs. That's just ludicrous and far-fetching and I'd expect something like that from an asshole like Ryan, not an internet stud that I appreciate like you, Tommy.
