yup we are, FNM never wrote anything that pretty... but i was trying to connect with the crowd, thinking that the majority of people nowadays would only know this song from the incessant rotation it got on MTV about a decade ago (probably continues to pop up, but i wouldn't know since i hardly watch TV anymore).

Thats fair, I just can't stand people not knowing musical history; like anyone who may think "Landside" was written by Billy Corgan or the Dixie Chicks; or that "Hard To Handle" was written by the Black Crowes.

Yeah, that shit blows me. Seems like no one really has a grip/appreciation on their music anymore. Lemme paint this scenario I had with this 22 year-old chick March 8th after I got back from seeing The Who:
Chick: What you been doing tonight? Looks like you had fun!
Me: Yeah, just got back from seeing The Who.
Chick: Who?
Me: The Who, man! (Incredulous tone in my voice)
Chick: *blank ass stare* Who are they?
Me: *sigh* You watch CSI?
Chick: Yeah, all the time.
Me: You know the theme song from CSI, right?
Chick: Yeah, which one?
Me: All three, motherfucker. They're THAT fuckin' nice.
Chick: Ohhhhhhh. *as if a really dim fuckin' light came on over her head*
Me: *shaking my head as I walk away*
No appreciation of music history. That's what's wrong with cats nowadays. Even when I was 12 or so, I didn't yet know about the greatness that was Zeppelin, but I at least knew who the fuck they were!
On that note,
Cherelle & Alexander 'O Neal - Saturday Love

I think it's beautiful that a 22 year-old doesn't know who "The Who" are.
I don't think you have to pay your "respects" to older artists. All that worthless "The Beatles are the GREATEST", "Zeppelin rocked the HARDEST", "No one was more influential than Bowie!"
Who CARES if you don't know who did "Landside" or "Easy" originally? Does someone have to know the family tree of every guitar chord ever? It smacks of fascism.
That's why I love young Fall Out Boy/Panic At the Disco!/My Chemical Romance fans. Most of them have no idea who the Velvet Undergound were. Most of them don't even remember Kurt Cobain.
All this ass-kissing respect of "influences" is the same reason that there's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

There is a difference between ass kissing and thinking that Fall out Boy, Panic at the Disco and My Chemical Romance invented rock and roll.

I imagine we all also know that this is a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.

Agreed, although the Pumpkins' version of "Landslide" is so much better than the original, I can actually forgive people for giving them credit for it. :) One of the biggest victims of that sort of thinking is Dylan, with countless people under the impression that Rod Stewart wrote "Forever Young", or that Hendrix wrote "All Along the Watchtower".

If it'll make you feel better, I'm 25, and The Who have been one of my favorite bands since I was old enough to have favorite bands. Zeppelin, too. I grew up with classic rock. My mother remembers me when I was about two years old sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" (not along with the song or anything, just out of the blue). :D She can also remember me telling her how much I liked Kansas when I was about five or six.

I don't think you have to pay your "respects" to older artists.
i think that it's rather important to be aware. i like having conversations about music with people that know something about music - more than the last 4 years of history of mainstream pop... and that, in my books, includes knowing how we got to today's version of r'n'r.
"easy" - note how it was an out-of-left-field track for FNM? if you didn't know that lionel ritchie wrote that track, you might think that FNM had great melodic chops and decent pop/R&B skills. there is a HUGE artistic difference between covering a song and writing your own stuff, IMO.
if someone truly believes that "the black parade" is the best album of all time bar none, good for them... but personally, i doubt we'd have much to say to each other.

S Dot Cell, you are a great man. :cool:
But to echo what my man S Dot was saying, I think an appreciation of music is essential. I stay on top of all music genres, cause I've found some of my favorite tracks in all sorts of genres. But society in general just happens to be real comfortable inside their little "box" so to speak, so it is what it is.
But it's great to have a sense of music history, so you know where shit came from or the lineage of a particular band/song. The Faith No More thing is one example. Or knowing Dr. Dre lifted the opening drum loop from "When The Levee Breaks" for "Lyrical Gangbang" on The Chronic. For instance, as I type this post I'm pumpin' some classic Tool. Just finished fuckin' with some classic Aretha Franklin, & I'm about to finish listening to the new 8Ball & M.J.G. album. Damn, I love music . . . .
On a side note:
7 Days - Craig David
Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

Thought it was someone else but did the cursory google check and it was showing Cat Stevens (whose version I grew up on).
