2000s


Chemical Brothers?! Not even.

Try this...

Tool - Vicarious

(The official video btw, and as usual with little apparent direct relevance to the song, but way cool nonetheless...)

Nice. I changed the 2000s entry to that one. No more chem bros.

Decided to plug in some Beck for the 1990s entry as well.

And Devo for the 1980s entry.

I think these are pretty representative artists for each decade:

50s - Jerry Lee Lewis
60s - Johnny Cash
70s - Kiss
80s - Devo
90s - Beck
00s - Tool

Work in progress I suppose.

I tell you what's definitely going in for the 2010s decade, and that's going to be the title song from the Tony award winning 2012 Broadway production of "Peak Oil: The Musical."

Much better.

I'd consider Beck a runner up for 2000s too. He's one of those who constantly re-invents himself with each release. Guero has some great stuff...

Hell Yes

You know, Tool would be a runner up for the 1990s as well.

And, you know, while we're at it, Elvis has to be a runner-up for the 1970s with this STRONG cover of Sweet Caroline:

Hail to The King Baby

True. Tool has definitely been an awesome musical presence since their debut with Undertow in '93.

As for Elvis well... he's a bit before my time musically speaking. I prefer The Beatles from those periods, tho' I can understand his enduring popularity...

The Beatles were a 60s act. Elvis was basically a 50s act. I'd say he could rock alright. Don't Be Cruel

Since the 80's was my time I do think Devo was good choice but any these might be a little better.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of This ( Eurythmics )

My first 80s choice was not really an 80s genre item, but still very good:

No way Kiss.

Led Zeppelin, no question.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '6')0s - Johnny Cash


One note Johnny? Not with the Beatles & Stones hitting the scene.
Johnny was old school by then.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '0')0s - Tool


I go with Steve Vi or John Mayer.

Well, I'm pretty much old school R&R guy, so, hell I don't know too much about groups from the 21st century. One thing I do know, lot's of kids love the old 60's and 70's music. I do like John Mayers music and Steve Vi does do some interesting guitar work, problem is, after about three or four songs, I've had enough. Check out the Stones, they are better than ever. They should all be dead by now, but they can attract crowds as large as 1.5 million today. They put on a show like no one else can. The Stones rule. If they come to town they will sell out, no matter how large the concert, and kids love em. They get more undies than anyone.

I was with you right up until that very last part.

When it comes to undies, nobody gets more than my man Tom Jones:

I like all these other bands, but here are some suggestions for ROCK:

'60s - Jimi Hendrix
'70s - Black Sabbath (although, I love Led Zeppelin, too)
'80s - Violent Femmes
'90s - toss up between Rage Against the Machine and Tool
'00s - Tool, if not chosen for '90s, which was their best decade; otherwise - The White Stripes?

I'm not sure that there is a decade this goes with, but if there are any Gwar fans (this is kind of funny):

Bring Back the Bomb

Alien Ant Farm is kind of cool too:

Smooth Criminal

1980s Pacific Rim entry:

Loudness

Don't forget these guy's and NO the group didn't fall apart after Blackmore left! But, Jon Lord can never be replaced (best hammond organ player ever). Glover still kicks ass on the bass, Morse is one of the best guitar players ever and Paice is a wizard on the drums. Yeah, Ian is losing his voice now, so I think they are pretty done after "the battle rages on".

1969 till present. Wow!

Still, I'm a hard core Purple fan. :razz:

New Kid Rock Song

Unread postby BigTex » Tue 24 Jun 2008, 08:36:25

I just think it's a cool song.

All Summer Long

For a BigTex B Side, check out this track from the mostly forgotten Black Crowes disc "Amorica":

High Head Blues

I listened to that song one evening in 1996 I spent with some bouncers and minor league professional wrestlers. That was a fun night.
