Unique and awesome? :shocked:

I'm sorry, but Boston sounded like a million other classic rock bands and had VERY marginal talent.

Well they had the talent to play commercial crap well. I still change the station when one of their songs come on just like I did when they first came out! Now you want a good band from Beantown just look at Aerosmith

Heh, too me, talent = originality. Give someone enough time with a guitar and they could mimic 80% of this crap that is so popular.

Mimicking isn't the point. All the great composers through time are easily mimicked. It is the ability to come up with the material in the first place that makes them great.

Yeah but all their songs sounded almost exactly the same!

This I will agree with. Though theior sound was original, they couldn't go anywhere with it because of Tom's bullsh!t.

This means you are getting older. lol

Notice old people today don't listen to the "rock" stuff that was popular when they were kids.

Depends on what you consider "older" I'm 34 and still listen to KISS, Steely Dan, old Aerosmith, Led Zep, Deep Purple, etc......if you ask me the amount of good music recorded after the 1970's is very very small. Probably wouldn't fill one CD.

No offense, but I have an issue with anyone that could dismiss 24 years of music and say they couldn't dwindle the amount of good music down to one cd. Sure, maybe the radio isn't playing the latest gem, but the independent music scene has become so great since the mid 80's, and continues to come up with fresh material that sounds great and not the same old rehashed homogenous garbage.

You're right....I should have said popular music since the 70's. There is some good stuff being made by small label bands that you will never hear on the radio and usually need to go to a club to see, but so called popular music these days is crap.

50 here and I listen to Music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Ok I have a few songs from the new Millenium but not in the quantity that I have from the previous 40 years.


BTW, another great band from Beantown was the Smithereens!

ill pass

I'm not a huge fan of FW but Lindsey Buckingham is a badass. I think I have Rumors on CD somewhere and that live "We're back" album too (bought strictly for Lindsey Buckingham performance of Big Love).

I am a big fan of Aerosmith....well, up to the Permanent Vacation and Pump albums. Everything after that is mostly garbage.

IMO you can't beat blues-based, guitar based classic rock. :beer::beer:


Since we're talking ages, I guess I should mention I'm 30.

Indie music is crap. LOL

OH yeah my favourite song is "Gypsy". I just like the sound. Plus 'say you will' is good and I don't get bored of it.

Wow, very witty reply. Care to back any of that up?
