Funny, I liked the half-time show.  Not a huge WHO fan, but thought it was ok.  Yeah, they are old, and half under, but still thought it was ok.

And I like the Beatles and Tupac, and Elton John.  Lil Wayne, not so much.

Did you know that Whitney Houston’s debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that?

It’s hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but “The Greatest Love of All” is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it’s not too late to better ourselves. Since it’s impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It’s an important message, crucial really. And it’s beautifully stated on the album.

I'm unclear.  Are you saying those people you are talking about are overrated or they are all great and I am wrong about the Beatles. 

Look, I've listened to the Beatles.  Really listened to them.  I don't feel the music.  I'm more of a classical guy anyway.  THAT is music you can feel.  Fur Elise, done correctly, is a little piece of heaven.

The crap peddled in the latter half of the 20th century is just garbage.  Maybe the Beatles have a few good songs, but they are extremely overrated.  Again, my opinion.  And it is possible that I wasn't born at the right time to "appreciate" it.  But damn.
Feb 9, 2010 5:28 pm

Oh, and “I want to hold your hand” is the dumbest song they wrote.

Feb 9, 2010 5:33 pm

I had to goog  Fur Elise Beethoven?   You're too smart and have too much class for me.   I thought it was a coat for your wife

Haha!

My guess is that you are a lot smarter than you pretend to be on the internet.

And my wife wouldn't wear a fur coat if it was the only thing she had to keep her warm.  Not because she is against the slaughter of animals, but because she finds it creepy.

Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don’t you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins’ solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don’t just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

thrownouttwice- great name I will laugh all week about that one but Admin probably thought you were suffering from Toxic Shock Syndrome with the Whitney and Phil posts and knew you needed to leave for a little bit…

  Avenged Sevenfold--Critical Acclaim read the lyrics I didnt serve in the armed forces but you can bet your ass I say thank you every chance I get. Especially to the ones I cross paths with in the airports because you never know if they will make it back and I won't them to know they are appreciated.    Every genre has that person or group that defines them. Bach, Beatles, MJ, Cobain, Tupac, Hank Sr, Jr, and the III all amazing artists in their genre.
