LALALALALA I'M STILL 17 YEARS OLD AND I CAN'T HEAR YOU, OLD MAN!

Honestly, though, I wouldn't be 17 years old again if you paid me.

It might explain his taste in music though 

Once upon a time I owned a little tea room and I used to play a lot of jazz and stuff and this was one of my favourites. It got played a lot more than the others because I always found something magical about Bing Crosby's delicious bass-baritone singing the lyrics of

There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth The Salt Of My Tears


Shaking like a leaf on a tree 
That's coming loose from the stem 
Shaking like a leaf on a tree 
Because I'm coming loose from my man 

I'm like a weeping willow 
Weeping on my pillow 
For years & years 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears 

Down & down he dragged me 
Like a fiend he nagged me 
For years & years 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears 
[ Lyrics from: worth+the+salt+of+my+tears_20488556.html ] 
Although I may be blue 
Still I'm through 
I must tell him goodbye 
Rather than have that man 
Gonna lay me down & just die 

So, broken-hearted sisters 
Aggravating misters 
Lend me your ears 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears

I once got a thankyou letter from a passing holidaymaker addressed to "Ms Bix Beiderbecke", and all I did was bake him some scones, make him a nice cuppa and play him some classy tracks.

Losing My Religion.

HAR!  Noob.

Classic Rock = Elton John (70s stuff), The Rolling Stones,  Dr Hook & The Medicine Show, Jefferson Airplane, and every shitty 60s-70s band found in every jukebox in every shithole dive found in America.

I was already a junior NCO when Losing My Religion came out.

Something like this. Jukeboxes and radio, before radio totally sucked. Sir Douglas Quintet from early childhood till the day I die. Texas garage psyche and bluesy shit, burned a lot of sleep when I was a kid listening to underground radio in the wee hours...13th Floor Elevators, Johnny Winter, the works. I used to like the Beatles too but you're right, a lot of their stuff sounds weak now. I'm never gonna forgive Paul for "Another Day", that guy could scream like Little Richard and he threw it away to do a bunch of lame shit. Country was unavoidable and I tried to hate it because at our school you could either be a hippie or a shitkicker, but I ended up secretly liking a lot of it (probably one of my first lessons that I was never going to fit in). Old Who (Keith Moon!), Stones, Cooper, Trapeze, Trower, Floyd, Zep (Zep hasn't aged well either, I've been completely burned out on it for years). No disco but P-Funk was great. Probably a lot of others I can't recall at the moment.

I wouldn't be 17 NOW if you paid me to. We could get away with stuff.

Wouldn't REM have to be rock in the first place to be classic rock?

REM were absolutely Rock and Roll.  Quirky rock and roll for sure. 


Not to mention, when everyone was going plaid and fuzzed out grunge guitars in 1992, they put out Automatic For the People which was a quiet, retrained, yet every bit as powerful album.  They've done things their way for pretty much their entire career despite trends and label pressure.


That's pretty Rock and Roll in my book.

They're trite college pop. And Peter Buck is a fuckburger.

Ce matin when i was prepare pour le voyager a providence i remember un chanson from many years ago. I remember une lyrique and i google it. Le chanson is called "if i were a... I'd" by how you say... Le Fishbone? Think like brady bunch eat wendys pour lunch.... They do four times on l'album. This one is track deux. But i am on le tren now and cannot regarde a youtube.

Ne sonne pas une ding-a-ling. Tout ce que je peux appeler à l'esprit est Johnny Cash "If I Were A Carpenter" ... certainement pas The Brady Bunch à Wendy.

Ill post le link later. They apparently had an album named after a line in the principia discordia.

The fact that you guys HAVE a favorite Beatles and/or Yes song is cause for concern.

This.

Yes sucks.  I liked the Beatles when I was a kid, but they haven't aged well with me.

I CAN

          respect and enjoy the beatles, but it's like christmas music at this point.

MAN,

There was a period of time in my early 20's in which every mixtape I received from a boy had Einsturzende Neubauten on it.
