Nunberg has now “successfully destroyed his credibility and therefore his utility as a trial witness for Mueller. Mission accomplished?” -- (link) - GregW Mar 6, 09:19 7
- I don't think that's how that works, especially when he wants his emails. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:32
- *nods approvingly off camera* -- nm - Olivia Pope Mar 6, 09:29
- Destroying his utility might free him from his obligation to testify ... but at what cost? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:28
- Had any of us even heard of this guy (Nunberg), 48 hours ago? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 6, 09:21 3

pretty much all DLR after Skyscaper is forgettable. And that includes his Van Halen stuff he did when he got back with them. man can't write a song. -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:02 8
- Not the same caliber, but as Max pointed out, there are some gems in there. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:07 6
  - outside of the 2 songs they did for greatest hits with outside writers. nope. -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:09 5

      - oh right, Rainn is perfect -- nm - mud Mar 6, 09:12
- your list is better than that other one. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:54 5
  - ST does most things better. - Spawn Mar 6, 08:55

From B2: The Beatles, DMB, OAR, Garth Brooks, Coldplay, all rap for the past few years, virtually all EDM, etc. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:50 48
- For a Young, you're going to be an Old very quickly. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 08:59
- For me, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bob Dylan -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 08:55 31
  - But those, at least, you can probably understand why? Unlike Garth Brooks. I still have no idea why he was a thing, let-alone as large as he was. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:59 28
    - Not really, I don't like their voices. I like Elton John songs when they're covered by other people. - Roger More Mar 6, 09:08 2
      - I find them unbearably saccharine. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:10 1
        
        Well that too. But they also taught me that Saturday night is all right for fighting. -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 09:14
    - he was the first big country/pop/rock guy that blew the old school off the radio. I was doing country radio when that happened and man it was like a - Remlik Mar 6, 09:03
    - Dylan is another I have no idea why the hell he's famous -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:01 14
      - he had a string of 3 or 4 superb albums in the 60s then went downhill fast -- nm - mud Mar 6, 09:09 2
        
        let me guess...when he went electric? -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:10 1
        
        no, after Blonde On Blonde -- nm - mud Mar 6, 09:11
      - The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. - Spawn Mar 6, 09:05
      - agreed -- nm - Epiphany, I voted! Mar 6, 09:02
      - he writes good songs, he just can't sing them -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:02 8
        
        What? I really enjoyed that song of his, what was it called ... - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:10 2
        
        I have only a few songs of his on my Spotify playlist - groiny Mar 6, 09:13 1
        
        I like Hurricane and Gotta Serve Somebody, in addition to some on your list. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:24
        
        Saw him a few years ago, and it was painful to watch. It was when he was going through a “let’s reinterpret every song in my catalog” phase - znufrii Mar 6, 09:09 1
        
        it is telling that all these other artists had great success singing his songs. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:10
        
        I'm no big fan of him, but his Wilbury stuff is fun and his tour when he had Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as his backing band was stellar. -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:04 2
        
        Yeah, his collaborations are all I can stand, but they are good. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:06
        
        Time's are a Changin is an excellent song, but his voice is tough to listen to for more than 6 minutes at a time -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:06
    - his music was fun. He was charismatic -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:00 8
      - The first, maybe? But that last line is pretty much the opposite of him. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:01 7
        
        He was energetic, he was bold; he took big chances with his early music...and he put on unrivaled shows for his genre. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:02 5
        
        He will always be the villain from Darkman, to me. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:10
        
        iirc, The Thunder Rolls basically made CMT a thing and propelled country into the mainstream. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 09:04 3
        
        He put out The Dance which is an all-time great song; and then the Thunder Rolls video gave him massive press since no country station would show it. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:07 1
        
        And that version didn't even include the last verse. -- nm - ty97 Mar 6, 09:12
        
        yeah, every country artist today should send him a check. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:05
        
        you are not really his target audience, despite where you live. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:01
  - None of those were very good frontwomen -- nm - prayformojo Mar 6, 08:58 1
    - Elton is half way there. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:59
- DMB for sure. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 08:51 1
  - Their first album was okay. And then they... became DMB. And only had one or two more songs worth listening to. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:52
- Pretty sure those that like EDM are not a majority of people. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:51 9
  - EDM? -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:55 5
    - Electronic Dance Music. - MDH Mar 6, 08:56 3
      - so, does Zedd qualify as EDM? -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:59 2
        
        Yes. He's one of the better ones to be honest. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 09:09 1
        
        yeah, Clarity is one of my favorites from the last handful of years. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:11
    - heh -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:55
  - The death of EDM was so fast I'm almost want to check in on those people. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:53 2
    - Thanks Chainsmokers. -- nm - Qale Mar 6, 09:03 1
      - They certainly helped kill it. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 09:08
- Basically, anyone who does not wear shiny pants. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:51 2
  - I grew up on rap, and love the 80s/90s stuff, even the rap/pop of early 00s. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:53
  - No, ST is anti-pants. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:51
Ooh, new Neko Case. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 08:48
We complain about these interminable election cycles, but they pale in comparison to the non-stop Oscar talk. - Mop Mar 6, 08:44 18
- But there are only 40 weeks left in this season, and it's not like someone's going to find dirt on Black Panther after the DVD comes out. -- nm - Max Mar 6, 08:47
- Well yeah, 2018 movies are already out competing. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 08:46
- These are unusual times, but we've been talking about the mid-terms since November 2016. -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 08:46 13
  - (plus is there any serious 2019 Oscar talk, or is it "the case for Black Panther = Best Picture"?) -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 08:47 12
    - Best Vine Shoutout -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 08:49
    - Vanity Fair ran an article yesterday and named some potential nominees. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:48 10
      - There are articles like this every year as part of the current year Oscar wrap up - ty97 Mar 6, 08:55
      - Ha ha, reading it now. (It's so desperate for material it's talking about technical nominations for Solo) -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 08:53 8
        
        I'd love to find last year's. Like, three of this year's were predictable at this point? -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 08:58 5

        I recall hearing 3BB and Shape Of Water early and thinking - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:01
        
        Completely agree. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:55
        
        Technically, it's a movie...but I think it's more likely a Razzie than an Oscar. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 08:54
- I did not notice -- nm - decline Mar 6, 08:46
- ... pipe down, mad-eye moppy. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 08:45
~every memory of looking out the back door, have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor~ -- (edited) - groiny Mar 6, 08:42
Last week I read... some pop music duo (that I do not know) listening to U2's Joshua Tree for the first time. Track by track. - Spawn Mar 6, 08:41 6
- you're useless. Here's a link ST -- (link) - ty97 Mar 6, 08:45 5
  - I read it on my phone! - Spawn Mar 6, 08:45 4
    - Phones can paste links! Welcome to 2018! -- nm - ty97 Mar 6, 08:56 2
      - "Last week I read..." -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:58 1
        
        Google exists, welcome to 2002! -- nm - ty97 Mar 6, 09:11
    - he can do some amazing things when he is awake. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:47
ST, boy, I don't know. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:39
