  1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (first time listen) This... this might be both their funkiest and their best sounding album since Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Not their best overall since then... but it's a pleasure to listen to and Flea is just killing it top to bottom. Like many RHCP albums it does fizzle out a bit towards the end, but with 17 tracks being pretty on par for the Chilis, there's a reason for that.

  21. They're not that forgotten. Unfortunately, they will always be remembered for that tragic nightclub fire 20 years ago that killed one of their band members and a hundred fans. Radio used to play Rock Me and Once Bitten Twice Shy a good amount. I wouldn't doubt that classic rock stations still do since they favor familiarity over variety.

  22. Great White- Hooked I've always been a fan of this band, I forgot about them but this morning I really fancied a spin of this one. Great bluesy hard rock, killer vocals, tonnes of hooks. They definitely have a Led Zep flavour going on, and I'm cool with that. Sad they are so forgotten these days.

  30. The Dead might be the most glaring omission. I get that they're not everybody's cup of tea but Garcia was a sophisticated improvisor and Weir was a highly refined rhythm player.

  32. This thread's premise is rooted entirely in nostalgia. The point is looking back fondly, not looking back critically. I don't have a fondness for this era, I'm not going to pretend I ever did. When metal and grunge took over late 80s onward is when I feel like "music" started to filter into the mainstream. It was a decade of massive variety on the airwaves, but eventually we came back to cheese and marketing dominating. I equate the grunge era with the hippy music of the late 60s, neither fit the mold at the time and came out of nowhere... and at some point the movement faded and record company marketing departments took over again. Much like other things in life, modern music seems to ebb and flow in cycles.

  34. Imagine sharing something with an employee and asking him or her to keep it quiet for now. Or imagine a lawyer having the work product of his or her supervisor in a law firm and knowing that it is not to be released until the supervisor decides it's finished. Now imagine they disregard that for their own political purposes. That's Thomas' point. It is staggering how many cavalierly cast it aside. This decision is going to be available to the public in less than 2 months. The idea that an institution suffers when people inside it betray one another's confidences for their own political motives isn't novel. The leaker isn't a whistleblower, for the reason I stated. The decision isn't going to be a secret. And the motivation to pressure a judge into ruling a certain way is, to be blunt, despicable.

  35. MTV video ball. Headbanger's Ball. God, I loved that show. It almost became its own channel in '92 or '93. MTV punked out. Never forgave them.

  36. Since Yes 90125 was mentioned in another thread, I will use it as a reference point. It represented a big shift from their ealier work and set the tone for the '80's. But I can't think of the '80's without thinking of Van Halen. Their reach was so far. Metalheads liked them. People into top 40 radio liked them. They became a reference point even for people who only somewhat paid attention to music. I will pick the album 1984 as VH being in full 1980's bloom. Want one song? Pick from Panama, Hot For Teacher, or Jump. They had it all going for them. Musically and video-wise. Have fun, it's 1984.
