Think of Ned from South Park singing Kumbaya and you get the picture.....

Interestingly enough, the experiments you speak of are being toyed with by today's youngsters. So maybe Klaatu has had more influence on them than the Beatles.

Not really a rant, just your version of history. The looping and scratching was started way before the end of the 90's though. Take MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This" for example. A pure Rick James line with dancing and a one phrase lyric. Even before that there was "Just the two of us" which in its chord progression sounds a lot like 50 ways to leave your lover. Yeah disco sucked for rockers but punk was already gaining ground before disco became overbearing. Nice synopsis Pauln.

hELP? I'll settle for just the album and side anyone?

Even now through furrows of sorrows The doubt still is sown

the scary part is that my memory for lyrics is what it used to be, and that ain't (oh man i just said ain't) good. ______________________________________________- the carrot is better than the stick, but in this case, the carrot is a stick

A lot of present day music get their influences from late 70's punk and even 60's stuff that is basically a reaction to over mixed/processed (to them) studio work. The idea is to get back to the rawness that made rock great in the first place. When I subjected my son to ELP and Yes he remarked that now he understood why punk happened. It represents a returning to the guy on the street from the virtuoso musicians of prog rock. I'm not sure I like it but I do appreciate where it comes from. A case in point is that the Beatles stopped performing live because their latest stuff was so studio enhanced (among other reasons I'm sure). _______________________________________________________________ The original harm's way: "I will not have anything to do with a ship that is not fast because I intend to go in harm's way."

Thanks pauln.

Why haven't you caught hell for not offering first to the forum before listing on ebay? Or did I miss something here?

What is and what should never be.....

wicked tune Fish! I'll leave this up for the rest to fight it out.

Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?

Hot Legs--Rod Stewart

I know the artist, can't recall the tune. I will paraphrase Clint Eastwood as dirty harry: "No one, I mean no one I know took this guy seriously."

I agree with all that. He also talks about live sound levels, and those also undoubtably contributed to his hearing loss. Were they not called rock and roll's loudest band? That one quote in question though, as d-man says is hubris.

Or maybe you are wanting to start a new one about rhythm guitarists that are better than townshend?

Ok Duke, lol. Am I to infer that I am the red not smiley face? Or are you just trying to stop a flame war in general?
