  - BOOM! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:36

- *flashback* - i haven't seen that since i worked in the legal department way back. -- nm - Andie May 1, 13:17 4
  - it's just like saying "well, sorry if this letter is full of typos. my secretary is incompetent and i can't be bothered to check their work" -- nm - pixitude May 1, 13:20 3
    - Hmm. I like it. I should add it to mine and see if there's a reaction. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 1, 13:24
    - i always thought it was more of an escape clause, like if they decided to change their mind. - Andie May 1, 13:22 1
      - you're not important enough for me to spend any additional time making sure this info is correct -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 13:31
- The whole xx/yy initials thing always throw me for a trip. -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 1, 13:16

For a more modern example, check out My Morning Jacket at the 3:02 mark of "Evil Urges", where they decide to just shred for a solid minute -- nm - rollo May 1, 13:03 1

  - Yes, I kind of enjoy that the Oscars are in Hollywood. It's fitting. -- nm - con_carne May 1, 13:12 3
    - Then they should hold it in Vancouver BC...you know, where they make movies -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 13:21 2
      - Romania -- nm - con_carne May 1, 13:25 1
        
        that's where they make DVDs -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 13:47
Highway run - TFox May 1, 13:01
The Chief from BSG asks Wil Wheaton a question at the TNG reunion -- (link) - Remlik May 1, 12:56 [youtube] 6
- [deleted] 2
  - He's actually looking a lot better than he did a few years ago -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 13:37 1
    - right. - Mel Profit May 1, 13:42
- Wil's exit from that show always seemed odd to me -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 1, 13:06 1
  - Yeah, I never bought the whole "meth lab in the trunk" storyline. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:07
- Very meta. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:58
Richard Grenell of the "tweet-a-sketch" scrubbing of his Twitter account after being hired by the Romney campaign -- (link) - pixitude May 1, 12:56
I think we can all agree, with U2 even mentioned, much less not a top ten that list was a waste of time -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 12:56 41
- I got lir; but, although they're mixed-up a bit, it does follow more of what "classic rock" is in radio format terms. in which case, U2 and some - b. May 1, 12:59 38
  - U2 is new wave/post punk. they never were "classic rock" -- nm - pixitude May 1, 13:11 22
    - But Nirvana is? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:12 21
      - i'm not defending the list. it's a shitty list all other things being equal -- nm - pixitude May 1, 13:13 20
        
        but they are now -- nm - Remlik May 1, 13:35 1
        
        as far as radio is concerned -- nm - Remlik May 1, 13:36
        
        its a crappy, shitty list -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 13:15 4
        
        I love the idea, but I dislike the execution. It sounds very much like what a classic southern rock station would pick, though. -- nm - David May 1, 13:16
        
        This is the one thing ST agrees on. Even amoxy brought it to the board saying "this list is crap" -- nm - Roger More May 1, 13:16 2
        
        the list is crap. But it aint far off from the playlist of my station -- nm - Remlik May 1, 13:36 1
        
        Yeah - it reminds me a lot of the radio station I grew up with. I was disgustingly old before I heard a Led Zeppelin song that wasn't Stairway -- nm - Roger More May 1, 13:43
        
        Agreed. Just saying, they cut off sections of the tree, not branches. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:14 12
        
        we should do our own list - the last 50 bands - random STrs get random bands - and that STr picks the band song - Epiphany May 1, 13:16 11
        
        MY FF board (who got very incensed with the list) are doing a Top 100 classic rocksongs - amoxy May 1, 13:25
        
        a bracket! -- nm - TFox May 1, 13:18 2
        
        Unheard of! -- nm - Kim Pine May 1, 13:19 1
        
        *snicker* -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 13:20
        
        That could be a fun excercise -- nm - con_carne May 1, 13:18 6
        
        is there a random generator and we could put the band + STr into Google docs? - Epiphany May 1, 13:20 5
        
        It would be a fun little exercise. -- nm - Kim Pine May 1, 13:25 3
        
        We actually (sort of) did this already -- (link) - Roger More May 1, 13:45 2
        
        That was a lot of fun -- nm - con_carne May 1, 14:17
        
        But I didn't play! -- nm - Kim Pine May 1, 13:46
        
        That's easy to do. -- nm - Roger More May 1, 13:21
  - note: I know U2 started during that period, but they didn't get very big until later. - b. May 1, 13:02 12
    - New Years Day should have made it. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:11
    - Rattle and Hum album was 88 -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 1, 13:10
    - Sweet Child o' Mine was '87, Enter Sandman was '89. -- nm - Roger More May 1, 13:08 1
      - yah, I mentioned it's mixed up in some spots. those are album-y, though? - b. May 1, 13:10
    - Glor----reee----a! - Epiphany May 1, 13:06 7
      - Shame on you! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:08
      - its spelled G...L....O...R....I....AAA -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 13:08 1
        
        you are correct sir -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 13:11
      - i know it's a different song, but I love the cheesier "Gloria". - TFox May 1, 13:07 3
        
        hee - Epiphany May 1, 13:10 2
        
        ~ and you f*ckin don't remember, all the bullsh*t that he said, the f*ckin voices in your head, call f*ckin Gloriaaaaaa! ~ -- nm - TFox May 1, 13:13 1
        
        priceless -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 13:48
  - U2 got their name in the 80's with a string of albums that were awesome, do believe they started late 70's -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 13:02 1
    - Boy was 1980. Their first. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 13:34
- Personally, I think it was a pretty awesome omission. -- nm - TFox May 1, 12:56
- *not* not even mentioned.... -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 12:56
i'm outta luck, outta love -- nm - pixitude May 1, 12:55
