No, I was born in 1967 - representin' for Gen X, yo.   

That makes us pretty close in age. Old.

Don't be hatin' on your Zeppologist friend just because he was RIGHT.

He was an amusing guy with a good premise, but a pretty poor argument. That's what happens when your 'life is awesome' more than 15 hours a day every day.

He was an amusing guy with a good premise, but a pretty poor argument.

I dunno, I never argue my points, I just spew them out 'cuz it's fun.   You could cogently rationalize why The Strokes are the greatest band ever until you're blue in the face, and it's still not going to make the other person think "he's right, a-ha are no longer my favorite band."

In fact, the topic of the White Stripes came up at my band's practice two weeks ago.  When I disinterestedly stated that they were "the most over-rated band in the entire history of Western music," our singer got so pissed you'd think I had fingered his wife.  It's just a band.  Who cares?

So now I like the White Stripes even less: they're over-rated and they made one of my best friends angry and condescending for a few minutes. 

Arguments over music are pointless.  I'd much rather argue over things that everyone at least agrees on, like politics and abortion.

This is my favorite sentence, or part thereof, that I have read today.

The problem today is there are too many opinions.

And not one out there half as good as the worst of mine.

AlohaDawg sums up what's wrong with mankind in less than one full sentence.  If that doesn't merit a tiny can of Dr. Pepper, then I'm Meg White.

Speaking personally, I think all wrong-thinking people are right.

[Carlos del Vaca]

I would tax people who stand in water.

Hm... I may have made a top 50 albums of 2005 list, but I could never make a top list of all time.  I change my mind every second.

Really, the only bands that have stuck for even the past 6yrs have been:
Carissa's Wierd
Knife in the Water
Sigur Rós

....I don't even like most music before the 80's, so I'm probably not the one to make this type of list.  I think the reason for this is that I had horrible taste before '99 and ignored all of dad's music (ie; classic rock).  I do like Velvet Underground though.  that's the oldest band in my collection I think.

There was one moment in middle school when I just listened to the oldies station, but I never bought any albums during that time; it was just whatever they played.

Yes...

* Hopefully I won't lose cans for this

I was going to read all of this thread and maybe some others and then reply to stuff but there's just too much and I've got a lot on my plate unless you want to talk about overclocking my onboard video chipset or fixing a broken PC case powerbutton that causes a newly built PC to turn on for a few seconds and then turn off again as if someone were holding in the power button.

Anyway, yeah.  I'm going to bed.

[Golfhaus]

THAT IS NO EXCUSE.

LIST PLEASE

Don't make us bust out the marquee.

[AlohaDawg]

Speaking personally, I think all wrong-thinking people are right.

And you would be right in saying so.

[Thee]

There has been no good music made in the last 100 years.

I only listen to music released during the Golden Age: August 11, 1988 to September 14, 1992.

I only listen to music released during the Gilded Age.

Plus Radiohead.
