Miley Cyrus, Pedobear, and the Hollywood Spectacle

Ever hear of The Beastie Boys ?

[Junkenstein]

So you're saying the Beastie Boys are more culturally significant than Nirvana?

That's OK I guess. Seems accurate too.

[AFK]

No, they are more culturally significant for rap than Vanilla Ice.  Ice was a one-hit-wonder flavor-of-the month, part of a brief pop-rap movement that also included MC Hammer and MC Young.

Kurt Cobain could write a hook like none of those other bands could, that is one reason they stood out.  It wasn't just noise, there was melody.  He had a great sense of melody.  I mean, really, he had a songwriting genius that few others had, or have had since.  They opened doors and paved the path for many alt-rock bands.  There hasn't been a band of that significance since.

RWHN posts the third example of a media music journo telling us what our opinion should be

Thread over!

What the hell is wrong with you?  Grow a pair.  You can have any damned opinion you want, I have mine.  I'm doing that thing where you provide evidence to support an opinion.  You know, that thing you guys say I don't do in the drug threads. 

Jeebus people, it really is okay if people disagree with you.  Don't be so damned sensitive.

Music journo opinion piece =/= empirical evidence

Learn to think, moron

It's not the disagreement. It's the monkey screeching and heel digging that's annoying. That and shitting up every thread you post in.

[AFK]

No, it is all y'all's screeching whenever I weigh in on a topic that fucks up threads.  Try a little more self-control.

Try understanding that an opinion on music is totally different to ignoring scientific facts about drugs.

In RWHN's world opinions and facts are the same thing - a written or verbal communique instructing him how to think. The guy is a walking appeal to authority, fuck, even his musical taste comes from journalistic "evidence" as illustrated above

And you have both of those covered, what's your point?

The beastie boys have a very unique style and charisma to their songs, Ice's most recognised song is recognised because he sampled under pressure, and beyond that he contributed nothing to music. I don't like MC Hammer but he is leagues ahead of what vanilla ice brought to the table.

My musical tastes come from what I like.  However, much has been written during and since the Nirvana era, as far as their immense impact on music and American culture.  You don't have to like them to recognize that, it was pretty obvious to anyone who was alive at the time.

I completely agree with everything in this post.
