September 24, 201510 yr I love Gord, and I hate that you and I could never agree to that. I find this to be one of the most fantastic rock'n'roll artifacts ever, how the crowd's not really into it through the first two verses, Gord looks terrified, then he turns it over to the guy on the 6-string for the solo and then everybody's clapping along, and Gord is loving it. Beautiful. I hope my neighbor loved it when I sang it aloud a couple minutes ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbMEb1T8CN0 Mr. Cat is a huge fan so I've tried to like him. I even sat through a pitiful performance of his a few years ago at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati. I thought he was going to drop over dead at any time. That song about the Edmund whatever is like nails on a chalkboard to me! I hope we can still be friends though. :depressed:
September 24, 201510 yr Not at all, they are given credit for that and they do not deserve it. Music was already changing that's why so many bands that came just a year or two after them sound nothing like the Beatles. Pretty much every album they made from '65 on was groundbreaking, with the exception of Let It Be. Everyone from the Stones to Hendrix were trying to keep pace and just about any modern pop/rock outfit can trace their influences back to the Beatles. I think there's a popular misconception that the mop-tops singing "Twist and Shout" at Shea Stadium was the height of their influence as they spearheaded the British Invasion. But that's completely wrong.
September 24, 201510 yr I've seen them the last two summers. It was a really good show both times. Not sure I'll see them again, but still. I do agree with you that there's been little to no artistic growth since their first two albums. Summer of 2002 - Noblesville, Indiana That was probably essentially the same show I saw in 1995, and it's the same show Hangman saw in recent years. They were quite good in concert when I saw them, but once I realized he just writes the same song over and over again (because he spends too much time touring and not enough on songcraft), I was out.

Understandable. I'd still go see them again, they were entertaining, and talented instumentalists.
September 24, 201510 yr The Rolling Stones Never liked Mick Jagger They have some great songs though, but never a fan of them.
September 24, 201510 yr The Rolling Stones Never liked Mick Jagger They have some great songs though, but never a fan of them. I just had a pain in my heart.
September 24, 201510 yr Bruce Springsteen. Yuck. Dave Matthews. Never gotten it, never will. And if my boss see's this post I might get fired. She almost worships the guy. Lots of country acts too numerous to mention. Same for rap groups, too numerous to mention. Although I will say I don't think many of them are all that popular per se, but have a vocal hard core fan base. Grateful Dead. I think they are similar to many rap groups, not necessarily all that popular but have a vocal hardcore fan base. Seems like I read somewhere that most country music these days is written by something like six people. If so, it shows.
September 24, 201510 yr The Rolling Stones Never liked Mick Jagger They have some great songs though, but never a fan of them. This thread has gone too far now! Keith Richards is one of my favorites of all time! I was 10 years old when my sister brought home Some Girls and I stood on my parents' bed singing those songs into my brush until I was blue in the face! BTW - if anyone is looking for a good autobiography, his is a must read! Loved it!

September 24, 201510 yr Alas, specifically targeting Mick and the Stones does not qualify. I will start working on a Rule 2 re-write at the first opportunity.
September 24, 201510 yr Not at all, they are given credit for that and they do not deserve it. Music was already changing that's why so many bands that came just a year or two after them sound nothing like the Beatles. I hate Van Halen, all rap, and anything 80's hair bands. BOOOOOOOOO

Dude is a character and a rhythmic blues prodigy to boot.
