[Mike Ellis]

I am disappointed that none of you guys mentioned some of the hottest female rock ever put down on vinyl, from the fabulous decade of the 80's:

- Madonna

- Cyndi Lauper

- Toni Basil

Ha ha ha ha I can't even type that with a straight face :-laf :-laf



I liked some of the 80's music, but BOY the 90's were tough - suffering through "The Great Rock Famine" just about did me in. The 2000's aren't looking all that hot either - too much rap, wimp rock, and American Idol "I'm a sensitive vocalist" gargle-bop... . God I'm sick of seeing people on stage doing the little emotional hand-stretching things - I wanna see crazy-looking hairballs running around on stage breaking guitars and eardrums and setting stuff on fire DANGIT! GIMME ROCK!



Kids today desperately need some frantic punk metal - time to bring the Ramones back from the dead!

Man, I'm not gonna lie, I loved most 80's music. I loved Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Genesis, and all the one hit wonders. The 90's were a little tough, but if I had to pick a couple of bands from then, I'd go with U2, Alice in Chains, and Smashing Pumpkins.



I think the group of the past few years that will be legends in the end is Nickelback. . They have put out some GREAT stuff in a very short period of time. They have the whole package, and as big as they are now, they WILL only get bigger. If you don't have them already, as a rock fan you owe it to yourself to go out and buy "Silver Side Up" and "The Long Road".

3 Doors Down

Disturbed

Godsmack

Audioslave



and Creedence

 

[tractorface]

Hmmm

Lynard Skynard

Sex Pistols

Ramones

Clash

Billy Idol



I listen to so many different things from Bluegrass(my favorite) to Donovan to the Sex Pistols. I am one confused soul :-laf

:-{} Hate Jazz and Rap with Equal enthusiasm.

 

[Carlsummers]

I've always had this thought in the back of my mind... . if you would take the Wilson sisters from "HEART", and put them with everyone from "STARSHIP" (except Grace Slick), you would very possibly have the greatest rock band of all eternity... .

 

[PHuckleberry]

I know he's not a band but Ted Nugent aught to be in here some where. April Wine? Blackfoot? all of these and more is why i have a randome button on the CD player!

 

[midlife crisis]

CD Player? What the heck is that? I got Rush & BRUUUUUCE on 8Track. :-laf

 

[Eric_77]

Already got my tickets! :-laf

 

[Coolslice]

Already got my tickets! :-laf

What are they, like $500 each?

 

[loncray]

Saw a story today - one Stones ticket at the MCI Center in DC was close to $550 - still less than the over $600 for a Three Tenors ticket a few years ago. Of course, I have a (rich) friend who paid $1,000 apiece for tickets to a preview showing of Star Wars Episode II a few years ago - but he got to meet George Lucas and the money went to charity.

 

[jandtjil]

AC/DC

Aerosmith

VanHalen

Scorpions

ZZ Top

Man, I like the Stones but thats too much cheese. . I thought I was being robbed when I paid $90 for 5th row to see Rage Against The Machine and U2. . Although that seems like one hell of a deal now. .

I dunno. Wife purchased them. I think they were something like buck and a half each.

Last time I saw them was in the early 80's.

[Byershome]

Eagles

Journey

REO SpeedWagon

Moody Blues

Lynard Skynard



Honorable mention goes to a modern band... ... The Blueman Group



Classic rock peaked in the middle to late 70's.

 

[loncray]

Hey, something I can agree with JH on (though I know diddley about the Blueman Group) - the Eagles are one of the best alltime. If this was my Top 50, every one of JH's bands would be on there 'cept the Moody Blues - nothing against them, they're just lower down my list.

 

[cumminsnbabes]

The Stones had some pretty good songs, but overall they are are bunch of sick monkeys. Any man that wears lipstick, even occasionally is a... ... well you know.
