I am currently listening to:

[Twenty26Six]

To qualify what I've posted above:

Zeppelin - Page ripped off 100s of classic Blues riffs from late artists and never credited a one.

Floyd - I love some stuff. But, the older I get, the more pretentious and unneeded some of it seems.

Clash - I was never a fan. And, lord knows I've tried. That sensibility just missed me. :(

Queen - it was pomp and glam, but fun. And, they rocked. To me, they were what KISS wished they could have been [or thought they were].

I agree with this post and the above on you made.

The Beatles are beyond that sort of thing.

The Who and The Stones are worthy, and I am ashamed to say I forgot about them. But, I still think Queen is better than Floyd, Zeppelin or the Clash. I guess you had to be there. Saw the Who first at the Brooklyn Fox Theatre in 1965 on a long bill that included the Shirelles, Little Eva and the Chiffons. Saw them a number of other times -- do Tommy at the Fillmore East, and Madison Square Garden around the Who's Next Album. Stones, nuff said. Zepellin is a lot more than Robert Page but if you don't get it you don't get it. Floyd may be artsy/fartsy but the music is fantastic. And if you are looking for balls, brains, and a wide variety of music you can't beat London Calling. I,m a big Queen fan -- hell I put them ahead of Small Faces,& Kinks, etc.

I think you're marginalizing my affection/respect/knowledge of those bands. For one, I'm a very big Who and Stones fan. I've spent a lot of time listening to Floyd.

I _get_ Zeppellin and I loved a lot of their stuff. And, if I hadn't found out that some of their compositions were completely ripped off, I'd still like them as much.

Beatles
The Who
Stones
Queen
Floyd
Led Zep

...in that order. The bolded three are a far class above the others, imo.

Hey I was simply being a pedantic old fart:eek:

This stuff is all personal preference any way. We left out Elvis and The Attractions, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Badfinger, Coldplay etc. etc. etc. and heck I should be aware of the injunction:

"Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Coldplay?

I don't even think they deserve to be in a similar list of the ones that we have been talking about. They are okay, I like a couple of their songs, but to be mentioned even in the same "we left out" list as Sabbath and Def Leppard is a bit much for me.

[el-capitano]

for me- British Bands:

#1: Stones- end of

notable mentions: Oasis, Stereophonics, Queen, Beatles

second tier: Coldplay, Blur, The Who, Muse, The Darkness, Def Leppard

Look at El-Cap he included the Stereophonics and Coldplay. I don't like either, but a smart guy like him does! No accounting for taste. I didn't say I liked all them others I simply mentioned them. I could have added Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Spencer Davis Group, Argent, Manfred Mann, Eurythmics, Moody Blues etc etc etc all bands I saw at one time or another. For that matter what about CREAM?? FFS? Blind Faith???

Very true.

Which explains why my friends can't understand why I don't like The Clash. :D

[el-capitano]

I'm smart? :D

lil wayne "A Millie"
(feat. Cory Gunz)

I'm Millionaire,
I'm a Young Money Millie in aire, tougher than Nigerian hair,
My criteria compared to your career just isnt fair,
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed...
Threw the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet in my mind,
Cause I don't write **** cause I ain't got time,
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the al mighty dollar,
And the al mighty power of dat chit cha cha cha chopper,
Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, Father motha **** a copper,
Got da maserati dancin on the bridge ***** poppin,
Tell the coppers... hahahaha you can't catch em, you can't stop em,
I go by them goon rules if you can't beat em then you pop em,
You can't man em then you mop em,
You can't stand em then you drop em,
You drop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher,

[Cory Gunz:]
I'm millie in here with them Young Money Milli on aires,
Think you wheelie pop a wheelie in air,
Mac Milli... the Vanilli's in here... I'm a rascal don't get whopped,
I get brats who don't give top, ("meaning he gets girls who play hard to give it up")
I get tassel, pass you with a flow you could never put a brake on,
An I break on anything a ***** take on,
Feel the napalm from my trey arm, straight long, throw a ***** like I'm Akon,
Cause I make cons... Where the base gone, get the base blown,
Let the Pistons on that chopper come on cops I'm kamikaze drop a rock with them Obamas,
Illie in the mind, really with the nine, millie when I rhyme, silly anytime,
Fine, chilly gitty on da grind, ************ on a dime, Penny on the line,
Plentys in me, any guinea's with em bigger than a mini and remind I'm...
Illie and it's all off G piece and a P... G walk by beep beep,
With a freak, skeet, Hawk Out, big feet on a jeep...
She caught by Weezy F, we be the best,
Truely to death prove me the rest,
Groupies confess, you be the ref, excuse me I left... Ha

A millionaire I'm a young money millionaire
What chyall really want it naw
Y'all don't really wanna do it
If hip hop is dead I am the embalming fluid
And I don't care who it be, I'm steppin to it
Notice I say 'it' cause to me, it ain't ****
Get. it.
Call me whacha like trick?
Call me on my sidekick
Never answer when it's private
Man I hate a shy chick
Don't you hate a shy chick
I had a plate of shy chick and she ain't shy no mo'
She changed her name to my chick
Hahaha, yea boy that's my girl
And she pops excellent up in waynes world
Totally dude you should
See their faces when they see that
This robot can move
And it's say...
Hahaha, yea
And it go...
That's right

I'm a millionaire I'm a
Young money cash money fast money
Slow money mo' money neva no money
What is that, who is that, I never heard of it
I will take your picture and make a 'rest in peace' shirt of it
Tell those n***** beatin to make a rest in peace shirt of me cause I
Killed and now don't tell no one you heard of me
It's like, the beat was screamin, murder me
And I'm a, murderer
So I murdered it

And you n***** is what I eatin I'll make sure of it
And he who don't believe me I'll make dessert of him
Sherbet him, I mean
Shame on him, or her
Cut her father up

This rap thang, this is my race
Gon' take a lap man weezy babys no
Now gon' take a nap man, it's nap time
I'll holla back at you at snack time

Weezy... F... yea, ok

And I be the shhhh
Now you got loose bottoms

I don't owe you like two vowels
But I'd like for you to pay me by the hour
Hahaha
And I'd rather be pushing flowers,
Than to be in the penn sharing showers
See Tony told us this world was ours
And the Bible told us every girl was sour
Don't play in the garden and don't smell her flower
Call me Mr. Carter or Mr. Lawn Mower
Boy I got so many girls like I'm Michael Lowry
Even Gwen Stefani said she couldn't doubt me

Man, life, just ain't life, without me
Hip hop just ain't hip hop, without me
Young moola baby
