What am I thankful for?

[Brian_Wallace]

Hey, the Beasties Boys were innovative!  They're important.  They are a thousand times more relevant than Morrissey and The Smiths!  and I'm not even that big a fan!  But to go from "Cookie Puss" and "Paul Revere" to "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" to "Sabotage" is impressive.  Much love to the Beastie Boys.  Even I'll admit that.

  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. [/b]

So does Hannah Montana....

I am thankful for  Fafarazzi

 I don't understand nostalgic people who INSIST that "The Beatles must last forever!"  "People will listen to Bruce Springsteen long after Fall Out Boy has been forgotten!"  Jesus!  Who cares?

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.

Exactly my question.
 
 I'm thankful for people who don't sign their name to every post, the sun, and an early Christmas present: marathon viewing of "My So-Called Life".

 3.  I was able to pick up the deluxe, limited-edition version of "Infinity on High" at Circuit City for $9.99 and just ordered the 180 gram audiophile vinyl special edition of "The Black Parade" that comes in a slip-case box, with 2 - 15 page books and 2 triple gatefold sleeves.
 
  It makes the perfect gift.

I can't tell if you're being sincere or ironic.

For there to be rock these days there has to be classic rock, which will always be around. If it's been around for 50 or 60 years it ain't goin' away. They're all just selling their songs to crappy commercials.

I'm thankful Kim Kardashian's in Playboy this month.

 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.

I'm sorry, but there are A LOT of people out there putting together new stuff right now.  Yeah, they may be influenced by a lot of artists collectively, but they're still bringing a new sound to the table.
 
 and ALSO, OMG, TONS of kids today listen to the Beatles.  still.
