Easy one, No one likes Hanson.

Sorry, it's #3.

I actually like a few songs of theirs. Inoffensive, well-crafted bubblegum pop.

1. I met Stanley Kubrick when I interviewed for the role of "Danny" in The Shining.

2. I like Hanson

3. I went to high school with Vince Vaughn

This thread makes me miss the Ramones so much.

I grew up outside Boston and they used to play Boston/Providence pretty much twice a year, every year.

Great shows and the coolest, most loyal, fans on the planet.

I need to purchase the Rock n Roll High School DVD. My VHS tape is absolutely worn out. Trashed.

weird, i have a tim armstrong song on mine. thought i was the only other person who listened to tha album

I've only heard a couple of songs here:

www.iacmusic.com/timarmstrong

But have yet to buy the album. It is certainly on my To-Purchase queue, however. Everything on that page is top-notch.

Aww hell, here's my list, at least (in no order):

King Khan & The Shrines - "Cosmic Serenade"

Jason Isbell - "Dress Blues"

Martin Newell - "Stella & Charlie Got Married"

Tom Z

John Cale - Paris, 1919

Roky Erickson - The Evil One

Mark Sultan - The Sultanic Verses

Toots & The Maytalls - Funky Kingston/In the Dark

I, personally have no access to torrent sites.

But I would be curious to at least see your lists.

When my son was 5 and just starting to read, he spotted a rack of Ramones hoodies in the store we were in.

Son: That says 'Ramones' Dad!

Me: Yeah, it does! Very good!

Son: Yeah, they're pretty much the best band in the world.

I was so proud.

in reverse order?

Of the ones listed, I went with Star Wars.

But there is a better one:

The Apu Trilogy

No, it's not a joke. And yes, that is where the Simpsons writers got his name.

Here are the IMDB links:

Pather Panchali

Aparajito

The World Of Apu

I'm kinda of overhwelmed by this thread right now. Who wants to get deputized to handle some of these?

By the way, whether or not you're "right" on your choices (most of which, you are BTW), this is still a lot of fun.

Thx.

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

Spinal Tap

Unfortunately, you cannot disassociate a band from it's shitty work. So, no.

 

The Ramones may have gotten boring and repetitive, but at least Joey didn't prance around with knee pads on.

Even given your point -- which I agree with, by the way -- I have to STRONGLY disagree.

And I love the Ramones.

Guitar amp

Pet Chameleon

Bunch of Star Wars stuff

yeah, that's for the kids

I can't believe nobody has yet said...

The Rolling Stones (pre-Tattoo You)

np: King Khan & The Shrines - What Is?!?!

Pulp Fiction

with Reservoir Dogs in a solid 2nd

Getting hooked on Monk can be fatal.

Mmmmm hmmmm.

Excellent article, Louie.

Although I must admit to reading only about half of it (it is long), I intend to go back and catch the rest.

Thanks for the link and for taking the time to put that all together.

I think it's "Fingernails and cigarettes a lousy dinner" but your version is good too.

You're probably right.

And thanks.

I was also searching for a line from "Left Of the Dial", because I know it has many. But I just brainfarted and couldn't think of any.

Bacon and cigarettes make a lousy dinner.

The Creation - Our Music is Red

I just listened to Buhloone Mind State yesterday for the first time in maybe five years or so. Great album. Great song.

All I've heard are the first 2 albums. I love them both, so I guess I should pick up Buhloone Mind State, eh?

But, does it have that great book smell?

Reading is a tactile experience as much as an intellectual one. And that tactile experience cannot be replicated by a piece of electronic doo-hickery.
