  1. some cover band played in the town square recently and I heard it from the porch. I really thought it was the black crowes. then they went into "crazy" by gnarls barkley and this douche keeps doing the same chris robinson voice
  2. budgie are highly rated when discussed. so they really aren't underrated, just not famous a better answer is, of course, KISS
  3. even as far as the hair stuff goes, you've only got hot rockin, desert plains, and headin out as the fist pumping bud light slammin' numbers. screaming puts them back on track
  4. I don`t want dissonance and goofy and disjointed though, I can do that with my own guitar :( yeah, except you'd sound like shit and probably still end up writing a whitesnake song
  5. I have been burnt out on their music for a year or two, but my opinions havent changed as far as whats good and whats bad
  6. honestly, the goofy/disjointed pseudo-prog of AFTK is part of its charm, and every song on it is better than anything after the 80s. hemispheres perfects the formula though I think cygnus x-1 is the closest they came to actual dissonance, which is, in a sea of styx and journey shit, very progressive. and tool obviously ripped it off
  7. great to see voivod and mekong delta. and if WASP is prog, f**k it. let's add KISS - the elder!!
  8. honestly, given the extremely high number of hair metal loving, prog-hating dads, I say we remove rush, dream theater, kansas, and queensryche. I commend those groups for bringing the ideas of genesis and crimson to night ranger's audience, however
  9. I mean, not true. I'm not a huge fan of hers myself but that album is very well renowned in both the hip hop world and the soul world as one of the greatest of all time. Whatever. I have nothing againt Mrs Hill, but I still find very absurd to see her album in the top 10, while i.e. Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" is about 20 spots lower, although being the much more significant classic in music history. And Kanye West gets too much ass kissing as usual. Why do you find it absurd that a critically and publicly acclaimed album which is generally considered a classic would sit in the top ten? Kind Of Blue might be the best selling jazz album of all time, but that doesn't really make it anywhere close to the greatest. It's honestly a little tepid in places. Sketches Of Spain is much more interesting. Have you ever actually listened to Kanye? I don't think so many of his albums deserve to be in the top 500 as there are, but just one is probably too few as well. sketches is a little too mild-mannered
  10. by now the OG critics like lester bangs, christgau, greil marcus, dave marsh, etc, etc are dead or retired, and these were guys who adhered to a very strict and limited idea of what rock was supposed to be. anything that deviated far from the chuck berry/rolling stones formula these guys grew up with was considered pretentious trash, which is why they liked any/all punk bands, regardless of merit. if I was born in the early 1940s and my favorite artists were buddy holly and bob dylan, I probably wouldnt wanna hear canucks on helium sing about spaceships either. not surprising that five decades after the fact youve got a few rush fans who have weaseled their way into the magazine.
  11. ages 12-14 I listened to all these songs almost every single day
  12. maiden definitely do the halfassed prog thing way more convincingly. steve, dave murray, and bruce are into tull and genesis. hetifield and ulrich only know prog cause of cliff. well, cliff's dead by AJFA. still a pretty good record. love dyers eve
  13. I was tempted to go maiden all 3 but even the hair metal guys gotta give it up for MOP. and it sucks because caught somewhere in time is one of the best maiden tunes on one of the best maiden records these are all killer tracks I can listen to anytime except for AJFA, which is a bit bloated, like that entire album really
