What am I thankful for?

Brian..maybe you should take up drinking and get off the internet.

So by putting an expiration date on music, you deny future generations from hearing great music not only whats considered "classic" but lesser know and just as worthy. i.e. Nuggets, Cult bands like Big Star, Love, Velvet Underground, etc. What about 60s Soul and R&B, 80s synth pop.   Why is it so wrong for someone to hear the original version of something like "Kick Out The Jams"
 
 The musical landscape would be awful dire, if musicians could listen to music from a defined period of time.  As it there are already way to many young bands eager to make it "big" by emulating whats marketable.

Can we all just agree that "The Big Chill" is the worst movie ever made and "American Pie" the worst song ever written and move along?

I agree with that.  Although, I'd take votes for "Imagine", too.

There is nothing 'new' anymore. So there will never be anything 'new and exciting' around the corner....it's all been done before so bands today are nothing original, they're just tribute bands of bands in the past.
 
 I meant 90's+, not just the 90's btw...
 
 You're right. In three years, no one will know who Pearl Jam, Radiohead, the Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, or the Beastie Boys are
 In three years maybe, in 33...not a fucking chance....my case in point, you didn't even list Nirvana who were supposed to be the saviours, and they slipped your mind.

Can't even agree on that. The worst movie EVER is a toss up between "Rushmore" and "The Big Labowskie". The worst song is probably Blood Sweat and Tears that begins, "Hello, It's me......"

Who is "insisting" that it "last forever?"  It's done a pretty good job at staying around without anyone forcing anything...if it's good, it will just stay.
 
 I mean if you look at a music tracking site like last.fm, which I think is an excellent indicator of what younger music fans are listening to, the Beatles have 66 million plays while Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance have 29 and 27 million plays respectively.
 
 Did anyone "insist" that The Beatles get so many listeners, or did it just happen because they happen to be a band that people like?

To get us back on topic, I'm thankful for boobs, Baby Ruth candy bars, my 2 mile commute to work, and getting RickRoll'd.

You said specifically that no one would remember any 90's bands in "the 10s even." That's three years from now. And the fact I didn't list ALL the bands that show your hyperbole isn't a credit to your argument.
 
 Your entire premise is idiotic and curmudgeonly. The same way there's a handful of 1960's bands who are relevant now, there will be a handful of 1990's band who are relevant in 2030. Just because you don't like something or think it's important doesn't mean you speak for the rest of the world.

Yours or someone else's?
 
 Speaking of which, I rate as a "Technical Achievement of 2007" seeing a computer version of a nude Angelina Jolie....in 3-D...on an IMAX screen.

And the fact you consider the Beastie Boys relevant then, now or in the future goes beyond idiotic, it's moronic.

I'm not a BB fan, and never have been, but I'm not so delusional to think the fact I dislike them overrides the fact they sell out any shed they play in.

I acutally like "Rushmore."  I like that movie's attitude.  Man, we are polar opposites, Mr. Walrus.
 
 So, I guess it's...
