Talking Heads

Heads.

And what Wolf said goes for me, too. Except I agree with the Floyd and Queen selections. :o

RUSH! HOW could you vote against Geddy, Peart and Lifeson?!

Talking Heads

Talking Heads. And all of you who voted down The Beatles are surely going to rot in a flaming hell where the only music to be heard is Britney Spears tunes rearranged as Muzak.

Stop Making Sense (vhs/dvd), at that college concert was subtle build up from nothing... They ended up a tight art form...

The Heads

Heads for the win.

Nirvana (3)
vs
Jimi Hendrix Experience (2)

another tuff one....
dammit.


Im watching Audioslave/Rage concerts right now.... I keep hearing jimi hendrix influences... (probly my imagination)

I go with Jimi... ( i'd like to hear a jam with him and Primus)

Jimi!

hENDRIX

(oh crap, now I'm watching the Foo Fighters, which may not exist without the Nirvana thing ... including todays' Queens of Stones, and Eagles of Death Metal, also)

Screw it, the Foo Fighters are a jumping good time band, second to Me First and the Gimmee Gimmes...

Dammmm that grundge influence, is hard to see what's more influential.

Nirvana, though I understand the "importance" and talent of Hendrick.

It is tough, but I have to go with Jimi. Can't have my old fart status revoked.

Back in 1972, the Beatles WERE MUZAK. Progressive Rock got no air play on the radio. I got tired of people asking me why I didn't like the Beatles like everyone else did. They thought I listened to obscure stuff: Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Gryphon, Trimvirat, Renaissance --- that was when you used a lower-case 'a' in 'alternative'.

Nonsense...I am a huge Prog Rock fan, and I've never thought the Beatles to be Muzak. Hell, I think Glenn Miller was a genius, I can't get enough Nat King Cole and I practically worship Scott Joplin. None of that ever stopped me from blasting out "Selling England by the Pound", though.

I suppose that I hold the Mop Tops as something of a rarified quantity, though. In my own mind, they are above most others in terms of cultural significance, and quantity and consistency of quality.
