The Hustle - Van McCoy

What a wonderful voice, so many great songs. RIP Christine

This. Is. Madness.

I feel for Uruguay, but what a win for South Korea! That was a thrilling match.

Even the lineman got some.

there are so many banger albums in this "genre" Christopher Cross's Debut Minute By Minute (doobie Brothers) Partners in Crime Player's Debut Aja (this qualifies) One Eighty (Ambrosia) in ways Toto's IV qualifies too. i love this whole style. Mick

I love these late goals that upend the group standings. Tasty.

Easily my favorite drag get up of any of the Pythons. A pretty Cleese?!?!?!

Angel of the Morning - Juice Newton

Georgy Girl - The Seekers

Such a loss, a lovely voice and great songwriting. Always thought she got pushed into the shadows because everyone was so fixated on Stevie but she was the driver of that group, a main reason they gained so much popularity. Been listening to her all day, so sad. RIP

i fee like i should moderate you guys. Today on Useless metal debates...Pantera are they partly Priest? some say yes.......some say no man you is crazy. i say.........Who gives a shit. thank you for joining us. Mick

Okay, c'mon Cameroon! And Switzerland, I guess. The Serbs have a cooler flag, but there are . . . problems. Let's just have lots of swings and roundabouts!

Kimchi for everyone!!!!

Rupert Holms-Partners in Crime (10/10) 70's Yacht rock...just about my fav genre (AOR may tie)....every album was a banger. And i just discovered this one last night. and i think i over did it. lol. Mick

Actually . . .! This Son guy should also be playing for a big club!

That`s awesome. Son ran off immediately after I posted, so I`m having an assist.

Tangentially related but I’m pretty sure when Hetfield cites Queen as an influence he’s mainly referring to one song of theirs, “Stone Cold Crazy,” which is credited by many as the first speed metal song before speed metal existed. Pretty sure they did a cover of it at some point. Also, just a general thing, Queen’s production techniques, especially on their early records with Roy Thomas Baker, were pretty influential on the industry as a whole. The production effects and overall quality they achieved on their best studio recordings were often light years ahead of their peers in the 70s. So any band with much commercial success going forward (e.g. Metallica) is more than likely to have listened back through a few Queen records for examples of how to do, for instance, clear and powerful backing vocals, or how to use effects like phasers and flangers effectively, or best practice for overdubbing things in general.

World Cup on fire today. Two big hitters out. No sympathy for Belgium who repeatedly failed to understand that you need to score goals in this game. But a bit sorry for Germany who went on the strength of an unusual result. I am only going on reports as surprise suprise I failed to see any games. St. Thomas today so once again I will be playing catch up later. Enjoy the games ya'all.

Pantera-Cowboys from Hell (8/10) OK so i'm not the bands biggest fan but this is a mighty album no denying and the influence it spread. I hear ZERO Priest though. Like the first track.....the title song was honestly closer to a G n R groove. BUT......fukk the comparisons anyway. they made their own genre. i'm enjoythis more this time round by the way. i do respect these guys........ Mick

A World of Our Own - The Seekers

I'll Never Find Another You - The Seekers

Johan McClaner - "How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?"

Oh you beautiful Japanese fools!

We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercea, through...

Octavarium - Dream Theatre

Any news of Betty Bailey's expedition, 73?

Stones/Dead Flowers

Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Sleeps With Angels

Cranberries/Dreams

Beck/Devil's Haircut

First, get on board with Strange New Worlds it is TOS with the sophistication and production values of TNG. SNW does Trek progressivism without being insufferable woke. Also do Lower Decks if you enjoy animated comedy, it seems crafted for TOS, TNG, DS9 fans. It might take two episodes until you love it. The rest is mostly different degrees of garbage.

If only someone could interrupt Kanye and say "Tom Cruise and Charlie Sheen had the greatest meltdowns of all time!" Go away, jackassclown.

maybe he's just been playing lot of JP . but i hear none of it either. Random band comparison is random, lol Mick

I don't hear either of those things. Get your ears checked by a professional something might be wrong 😄 The stuff Halford did on those solo albums is in the same vein as Priest.

Who?

Oh it's album covers I thought you were talking about actual albums!

Gave up after about 20. The queensryche one had one of the guys wearing their own band shirt. LOL

i'm not the biggest pantera fan but yea the priest comparison? so left field, lol i don't hear it either. but i hear PANTERA in tons of bands like you said. Mick

Japan takes Group E!!! Germany out!

For about 7 seconds.

I don`t not want one. Hey, my cat can make lots of posts appear in one by treading on the right keys!

(The) Odyssey - Symphony X

Pantera- Coboys From Hell Machine Head and Lamb Of God lead me here. Have never been a fan until now. I loved every dark second of this! Also, who hear knows anything of their music before this? Their glam metal stuff...sounds wild...but it's not bad 🤣 But this album is breathtaking. It's like a less shrill Painkiller.

This looks to be a great night. I hope they raise loads of money for the charity.

He destroyed melons to distract from his own. I did enjoy his act. RIP

I enjoyed the Keswick Theatre for the one show I attended there. I just may show up for this (about 4.5 hour drive for me).
