5 greatest bands in Rock History!

[smackaholic]

where is let's turd?

He's neck and neck with the can of beans. Too close to call at this point.

wait, the chicken's above the shovel, right?

Well, duh.

the beans win in a tie breaker. they are pretty much even in IQ, but, a can of beans is useful. i particularly like kidney beans. a salad isn't complete without them.

what is it's a really sharp shovel with a nice fiberglass handle and a particularly slow chicken?

how does a thread that should have had a visit from the trots fairy on page one, get to page eight?

all you fukking mods should be sacked immediately.

And that gold-plated pension fund they think we don't know about.

I KNOW WHAT POP MUSIC IS, OK? You dont seem to get what I was trying to say. YES, when music comes out, and its popular, its a part of the pop music world, for sure. I dont debate that with you. BUT, as we move into new decades, things begin to take there place in history.

Except you also tried to argue that LZ wasn't pop music even in their heyday. Just shut the fuck up already. When you're getting your shit pushed in by smackaholic it's time to hang it up.

Alright alright, I give up already, smack? you win, and I lose, OK? are u happy now? Led zeppelin is in the same category as Leif Garrett, Leo sayer, Danny Bonaduce and The Partridege family, ABBA, Barry manilow, donna summer, peaches and herb, Tony Orlando and dawn, Gladys Knight and the PIPS, donny and marie osmond, the Bee Gees, debbie gibson, Tiffany, the faggott Village People, samantha fox, Lionel richie, the Bay city rollers, AND all the other gay shit that floats into your warped mind.

YOU WIN, I throw up the white flag and surrender!! Can we talk about something else now, cause I want a chance to beat you at something, ok?

[smackaholic]

it was gold plated, till THE ONE got to DC.

You even have to ask that question? smack, im deeply hurt by that. The reason my threads make it all the way to page 8 is simple, I am one smart cookie, chock full of insight and tremendous wisdom, and not just about music, but the fine arts as well,
Just wait till I get going, you aint seen nothing yet, remember this, just when you think ive said all there is to say? guess what?
ITS TIME FOR BIG TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!! prepare for one hell of a BIG TIME smashmouth season, courtesy of the Nebraska football program, and their week by week smackdown of the fairy big ten.

I am salivating with a concrete boner at the mere thought of whats to come.

rack you for seeing the light.

zep is in the same category as the (mostly) shit you mention, in that they were popular in the seventies.

you're still on the list though, but, i think you just got the inside track on the chicken.

i will be happy to beat you about the head and neck discuss other categories. how 'bout good peanut butter. is there anything you can't make better by slathering it up with some. i know THE KING was a fan.

[bradhusker]

peanut butter is ok, as long as you mix it with shmuckers concord grape jelly, cause lets face it, with a name like shmuckers, its gotta be good.

[smackaholic]

pbj sammies are OK, but there are much better uses for it. btw, i'm talking real peanut butter, not peanut corn syrup butter. real peanut butter is the stuff you keep in the fridge and have to stir to mix the oil back into it.

try this stuff on a fresh slice of macintosh apple, which, thankfully will be back in the stores in a month or so.

you'll never touch that shmuckers shit again.

oh yeah, I agree, real peanut butter, BUT, the shmuckers I was talking about was the jelly, not the peanut butter.

schmuckers concord grape or strawberry preserves, with real peanut butter, on honey wheat bread.

Elvis liked his a little different, his would be in a frying pan sauteed with a stick of real butter, sizzling like a grill cheese sandwich, spread the peanut butter with bananna slices between two slices of wonder bread saturated with real butter, cooked up in a frying pan, it will clog your arteries in just a few short years.

only shmucks like shmuckers, so, I guess im a shmuck, go figure.

schmuckers schmuck shmuck shmuckity shmuck shumuck, fuckin shmuck, my dad used to scream at me, sit down ya dumb shmuck, you'll never amount to anything, GOD rest his soul, he worked hard, 7 days a week just to put bread on the table for us kids.

he was a world war II vet, took a bullett in the back from the third reich, he showed us the scar, they dont make em like that anymore, that was the greatest generation for sure, no red diaper doper babies in our family, NO SIR, thats why I hate the Liberals of today. Talk to a liberal, and you'll soon see what ive been saying for years and years.

[bradhusker]

When you really go thru the catalogs of the top 5, Led zepp, pink floyd, the beatles, the who, and the stones, its STAGGERRING to say the least.

Anyone who does this, actually takes the time to really discover all these bands have to offer, will come away a changed person for the rest of their lives.

There is a reason for the universal critical acclaim that these 5 have in common, and the reason is clear, ALl 5 have created music which stands the test of time, meaning, its timeless.

after pages and pages of counterpoint and debate, I am as confident as ever in the 5 bands I chose. NO one has made a convincing arguement against me, and if you think you have, your dellusional.

Ken went yard* on that.

* And by yard we do mean at least 100 yards, with a 7 iron.

Hey now, I'm actually playing some pretty good golf these days. My 7-iron is up to 110 yards

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Back when it was happening, bands like LZ, Sabbath, ELP & Deep Purple were NOT referred to as heavy metal or pop music. They were referred to as "Hard Rock Bands". Perhaps some of you are too young (or old) to remember that.

It all depends on the context. If we're comparing LZ with other bands from the 70s, we're talking rock. If we're talking popular music in general vs composers from the 1700s, then the broader label is appropriate. This shouldn't be that difficult to understand.

ELP as in Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

Did you just call ELP "heavy metal" or whatever?

Duude... for some unfathomable reason I like you, so I'm not going to tell you to stfu you fucking idiot. But that might be in your best interest at this point.

[mvscal]

You weren't living then. LZ was considered "Hard Rock". There was no fucking term called "heavy metal". Fuck - there wasn't a label called "Progressive Rock", either (now I've got to straighten fucking Wags out on this).

It doesn't matter. Hard rock, prog rock, glam rock, punk rock, southern rock...it's all pop music.

You don't understand how to follow a discussion...do you? How is any of that relevant to what I just said?

[Goober McTuber]

And how many yards of black dick is your wife up to?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I just threw my 2 cents in. You weren't even alive back then, so you really have no clue as to what was called what.

It doesn't matter when I was born. Facts are facts.

Besides, you were semi taking up for your buddy who thought bands like MGSuckT was actually relevant in the history of music. Fail.

Huh? Good gawd, you are dumber than a puddle of flaming diarrhea.

[bradhusker]

After pages and pages, You guys blabberring back and forth like middle schoolers, ONE THING REMAINS CONSTANT!

THE TOP FIVE,

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
The Who
The Rolling Stones

Facts really are FACTS, and we can go another hundred pages or so, and this list will remain constant.

Thats how good I am, I put in the decades of research, so you guys can argue back and forth like fifth graders.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, this list I wrote is written in STONE, you guys know it, I know it, even GOD knows it.

Its a list that I am proud to call my own, and it stands on its own merits, YOU GUYS tried to come up with a counter list to mine, BUT, you failed, and any of you who tries to come up with another list? You will fail too, I can promise you that.

THINK about it? put whatever list you have, stand it up right next to my list, and, you get a BIG FAT dose of penis envy.

MY LIST IS THAT HUGE!! ITS THAT IMPORTANT!! ITS A LIST FOR THE AGES!!

thank you.

[War Wagon]

ELP was considered "Hard Rock" at that point (early to mid 70's). There wasn't even a fucking tag CALLED "Progressive Rock" at that point. I'm merely pointing out what it was called THEN.

Actually, yes there was a tag called progressive rock at that time, and yes, I was there. But to be honest, it was my 7 years older brother who started bringing home albums like Pictures at an Exhibition and Tarkus and making me listen to it - because I was a stupid snot nosed kid who didn't know shit about music at the time.

It was also called symphonic rock. And it was great. ELP was and definitely still is on my top 10 list, no matter what you want to call it. I just don't think they belong in quite the same "hard rock" category as some of those other bands you listed because musically, they're so much different.

[smackaholic]

while ELP is not as hard as say, Sabbath, they could be considered "hard rock". hard rock is a very broad category. prog rock is definitely a more precise description of their style.

btw, if you think elp wasn't "hard rock" at times, listen to a carl palmer solo. he is definitely on my top 5 rock drummer list. possibly number 2 behind bonham.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

You weren't there, so you don't know.

Don't know what? Do you even know what you're arguing, or are you lost as usual? Once again, it doesn't matter where I was, as facts remain facts. ALL popular music falls under the general category of pop. That fact is unchanged by time or era. Then you've got your sub genres, which are applicable when discussing artists in a more specific context. Like asking, who's the better rock artist - LZ or The Who? Jeezus, man, why is this so hard for you?

[Goober McTuber]

ELP was Progressive Rock. Wikipedia has spoken.

[bradhusker]

ELP was Progressive Rock. Wikipedia has spoken.

wikipedia is a joke, let me give you an example.

They put elvis and the beatles correctly as the TWO biggest selling acts of all time, BOTH have sold over 1 billion units worldwide.

HOWEVER, they mistakenly put michael jackson 3rd all time with 750 million in sales, THEY COMBINE michael jackson the solo artist, with his work in the group, "the jackson 5". THIS is obviously incorrect, and must be fixed immediately.

You cant combine the two, just to inflate michael jackson all the way up to number three. take away the jackson 5 sales, and michael jackson the solo artist, falls way down the list.

Thats like combining the beatles with paul mccartney and wings, or combining John lennon's solo stuff with the beatles.

SEE how wrong that is?

wikipedia needs to fix this right away.

You do realize that you can go to wikipedia and fix it yourself, right?

[bradhusker]

Why would wikipedia take my word? Who the fuck am I? For all they know, I could be living in my grandmothers basement, and they will trust my judgement? Can anybody fix whatever they want on wikipedia? So, let me get this straight, absolutely anyone with a computer, or, even someone without a computer, can go to a public library, and fix or post any fact they want, and wikipedia will trust that as a FACT.

What kind of shithole site is that?

by the way, they are absolutely correct on the beatles and elvis as the only two acts to sell over 1 Billion units worldwide.

but, other than that fact, how can wikipedia be trusted on anything at all?

[Atomic Punk]

I actually read this shit thread started by a shit poster.

What would be a better thread on music is which bands were the most influential to YOU personally and why.

All I know is when I was 8 years old my parents didn't want me hitting that Ludwig snare drum anymore. After annoying everyone with the noise an acoustic guitar was on my bed one day and then I got signed up for guitar lessons. Little did I know I've learned most of my songs that I could play by George Harrison. Not a Beatles fan per se but, that's all I played besides Mason Williams "Classical Gas" and Glen Campbell songs, etc.

(HAHA edit for Mikey)

[Mikey]

Mason Williams

[Atomic Punk]

Mason Williams

Yep! All I ask in return is you don't send me on a bus tour to Kansas City. Huge!

OH really? that would be a better thread? Because a shit troll like you thinks so? Listen troll, YOU dont like it when folks discuss the greatest bands in ROCK history? FINE, then go crawl back under your shitty rock.
Leave the serious discussions to the educated folks, k loser?

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
The Who
The Rolling Stones

Swagger, in your face, GODS of ROCK! Does NOT matter if you agree or not, its in your face. If you had self-esteem, you would LOVE these bands. When you dont have self-esteem, you embrace bands like public enemy.

Public enemy, a piece of shit racist band, that no one gives a shit about THEN or NOW.

kinda like you troll.

[War Wagon]

I wouldn't think of it.

Merci.

[Screw_Michigan]

Merci.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]
