Quite possibly the most annoying website pop ups EVER.

All I know is that I recently got satellite radio and it really is a rarity to hear one of their alt stations play something that "rocks". Not counting the silly Lithium channel.

When I put my iPod on shuffle, I find it really refreshing when anything with a heavy beat or guitar riff comes on. I think that's why so few of these newer bands catch my ear. I think once people start covering Black Sabbath and the Ramones again then music will get some edge back. But there really isn't much that engages me. I like some indie rock...but most of it bores me to tears.

when sirius began . . . they were awesome.  awesome.  now they suck.  all music stations overplay all music, most being reduced to loop computers controlled programming.  not even stern can save that sinking ship.  i only listen to the gay channel and the news now . . . the only good stuff left.

if some new band could somehow channel ACDC i think they'd be huge...

but no one seems interested in doing that.. its been that way for about 15 years now at least....sad.

You're right. There are shitloads of Beavis and Buttheads whose music needs are totally being ignored.

Most of the music this guy is dissing does nothing for me.  I don't really keep up with this type of stuff.

But.

People that write this kind of snotty, snide, sniveling shit sound just as bad to me as the people they are railing against.  I want that 2 minutes of my life back.  My 9 year old daughter could have written that drivel.

Yeah. That's exactly what we need, we already aren't bombarded by it in every commercial, at every high school, college or professional sporting event and on the streets of every fucking suburb and exurb in the United States.

Exactly what the world needs: MORE AC?DC.

you missed the point.. we're bombarded by the same old acdc tunes.. why cant a new band do that?

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

No, that is my point. We don't need a new band doing the same shit.

This.


P.S. Where did Comets on Fire go?

[hutch]

No, that is my point. We don't need a new band doing the same shit.

Same shit? You mean Chuck Berry rock and roll?


we absolutely do need that..desperately.

 

[hutch]

i mean sayin we don't need bands like acdc is akin to sayin we don't need rock and roll..


screw the solos..screw the fun and party..screw songs about booze and girls

what are you left with?

very boring music no one wants to listen to thats what..

[James Ford]

ACDC has had maybe a half dozen good songs out of...how may songs have they recorded?
