I saw that, but at $40 for a used copy, I think not.

I was a huge fan of his films in the 1990s and haven't heard much from him recently. I'm also having a hard time finding those old flicks of his on DVD or Netflix: • Trust • The Unbelievable Truth • Simple Men • Amateur • Henry Fool I just love the pure ridiculousness of them all. The self-consciously artsy-fartsyness. And Martin Donovan was always had an amazing deadpan way about him in these that made him one of my favorite actors of the time, too. Any fans here? Heard anything about him recently? Hopefully a new feature in the works?

• Cheap Trick at Budokon • Little Feat - Waiting for Colombus And less well-known, but just as wonderful: • Brinsley Schwarz - Cruel to be Kind It's Nick Lowe's early/mid-70's band with Ian Gomm and a nice chunk of the musicians that would form the core of The Rumour, who would back up Graham Parker on his best stuff. Consists of a bunch of stuff that they recorded for the BBC.

GG Allin vs. everybody (including himself).

How about the nonexistant one between Neil Young and Lynrd Skynnrd? (oops. mentioned already.)

Personally, I love Scrabble. But my 11-y.o. loves Sorry and Monopoly, so I play a lot of that. Chess, too. I am a horrible chess player, so he beats me a lot. Legit.

It's being promoted as just a record signing, but one can always hope for a performance, no? Sat. is my birthday so I'll see if I can get over there. http://www.facebook....34962199963356/ Hopefully he'll be coming to your neck of the woods, too.

Don't hate Cream, but that stuff has been pretty much played out for me, whereas his solo output is just... blech.

Eric Clapton Used to be my all-time favorite. Now I cannot listen to a single thing by him, with the exception of Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs.

Definitely. Me too.

Smiths? Robyn Hitchcock? Makes the RNRHOF look xenophobic by not including those artists. I mean hell, at least THE SMITHS!

Agree with everything that Louie said. If Husker Du isn't in, there is no way in hell that UT is getting in.

Or that you at least like a lot... And, what changed your mind? When I was a metalhead in my early teens, I hated anything synth-based on principle. But, now that I've gotten over that, I have come to love The Smiths And yes, I know that there are no synths in any Smiths songs, that Johnny Marr had a very no-synths aesthetic, but I think that the pure fey-ness of the band just somehow implied the presence of electronics to me. And now, I also know that they were phenomenal and I regret not being into them when they were still making music together.

I wish that I could get past it, myself. Because, objectively, that band never released a bad record. I used to fukkin love them.

I think that it's his voice; it really is a unique instrument. Nobody else sounds like him, or even close. And the fact that I have come to associate that sound with such dreck for so many years now really does color the music that he made with The Police.

Or due to the fact that Sting went off and ruined it all with his flaccid solo career.

Bob Marley. Just played out.

There are riffs and songs here and there that I can still enjoy (like "Free For All", for one). But -- and it's not just the politics, although I'm sure those do figure, too -- the testosterone levels are enough to make me either puke or laugh my ass off. More-likely the former.

Oh, here's a BIG one: Ted Nugent Loved the Nuge when I was 15 or so. Couldn't get enough. Now he just appalls me. Ugh.

1986 for me. Although I still do enjoy the hell out of both Toys in the Attic and Rocks. Really can't fu¢k with either of those.
