i looked at my playlist and, to my surprise, black metal by venom was the number two most played song.

indie or not, id rather listen to kanye west, justin timberlake, madonna, usher, beyonce, and a shit load of other mainstream pop music than the killers. i mean, if i hear a timberlake song when my car cd player aint workin and i only got the radio, ill generally stop, if the killers come on, next.

Yes, I was too ashamed to put their whole name. Sorry, for me liking a lot of mainstream crap, and yet Sonic Youth being my #1 band ever.

Remind me to only use mallet-on-the-head obviousness with you from now on.

thoughts on Clone's "played" list
Stairway To Heaven (It's easily one of the greatest guitar lines and solos in rock history...a little slower overall, of course, and less to appreciate from the great Bonham and JPJ than some classic cuts; Sorry you can't get past Plant's voice and lyrics and enjoy one of the most virtuosic bands in rock history.) Imagine (Yes, it's more than a little played out as the "philosophy song," yeah, but nevertheless enjoyable. Still, great lyrics. Solo Lennon has some of the best lyrics in rock history. Good-to-great music for the most part too.) Smells Like Teen Spirit (It's a bit crazy to consider how people went as apeshit as they did way back when (and still today to a large extent) over the Nirvana package, but it's still a good song with several exciting moments.) Born To Be Wild (Shit man, you've really got a lot of pent-up anger or something. This Steppenwolf song is the bomb and will be forever. It's the first song I ever learned all the parts to properly on an electric guitar. What's next? You gonna slam The Troggs' "Wild Thing" too?) Back In Black (This shit blows away probably 98% of your record collection. A fucking tour de force of rock and roll for the ages. You gotta have some respect for how they got it together so convincingly with Brian after the infamous Bon died like that. Geez, I don't like the chronic sleaze and shallow songwriting that pervades 98% of AC/DC, but damn, this shit moves and grooves. What a lick!) Satisfaction (Now I know you're a fucking miscreant nihilist-for-nihilism's sake hipster haha. This one you have singled-out here contains one of the best guitar riffs in rock history. Jones and Watts are electric. And Jagger's voice on it, hell, put this one in the time capsule because it rarely gets better than this...ever.) Whiter Shade Of Pale (Lyrically, this one is beautiful. The organ line is very nice in a classic rock way. Yeah, but go ahead and vent on this, Procol Harum is a minor act anyway.) Brown Eyed Girl (Not my favorite Van Morrison either, by a longshot. Still a very pleasant and welll-crafted (but not overly so) tune though. I can respect it.) Welcome To The Jungle (Like SLTS which followed, this one captivated the world's imagination in a big way. The bombast is still remarkable, production vagaries considered. And I can see why some people have some level of disdain for Axl (I do as well) since he's such a egotist. Still, it's a rocker, even though it's not very often in my pick of rockers when I'm in the rockin' mood.) Louie, Louie (This song did so much. And it's still great. The Kingsmen are no Buddy Holly & the Crickets, but shit, it's perturbing somewhat that someone would go out of their way to single it out as "unnecessary" as you have like it's some huge albatross on the neck of rock or something.) Iron Man (This one is played out. Still, it's got a rather remarkable jolt of an intro, the filtered voice, Iommi's sustain and all that. It's a fun rocker. The tap-tap of the drum fill is charming in a way. Of course, this song is going to be infused with new adherents with the release of the superhero movie soon.) Smoke On The Water (This one is classic. It was written spontaneously by one of the most underrated bands of the jam variety. Again, a classic riff. I wonder if you've ever heard them go off on this one live. It might earn you more respect for it. Overall, Deep Purple is less hit and more miss though, I suppose due to all the line-up changes.) White Room (Cream has always been very frustrating to me considering the level of thier potential. I like the wah solo, but other than that, this one is musical wallpaper for the most part. Which is saying something, because "White Room" is one of Cream's very best songs.) Money (Which "Money?" At any rate, for the sake of a comment, The Beatles cover of the '50s tune is better than the Pink Floyd original song for DSOTM.) Boys Are Back In Town (This is an odd choice. I don't think about this song and rarely hear it.) Our House (I really cannot stand Stephen Stills and his utter phoniness and cheese. Agreed.) Everything Counts (I don't think about Depeche Mode too often, but this was an important track for them. They had some passable material, but they're in the dustbin as far as I'm concerned.) The Thrill Is Gone (It's a bit aberrational that this blues number gets so much praise when others do not. I like B.B. King on some level, but I simply don't have time for B.B. King when there's so many better blues artists from the past.) Brass In Pocket (A nice slice-of-life ditty from a dynamic and underappreciated band. It's indeed overrated as their best song, and Chrissie pretty much grew to eschew it herself.) I Got You (I think you mean the James Brown song I Got You (I Feel Good), and it's indeed a bit overbearing how everyone identifies him with a few select more popular numbers. / ("I Got You Babe" from Sonny and Cher is a fun tune from the cheesiest side of the '70s. I'm not wild about it, but it's mildy enjoyable. Can't decide whether I like the UB40 cover better or not.) Blister In The Sun I do like Hallowed Ground probably better than the first album. Still, a notable tune.) Hotel California (Good classic rock song, good, not great. The interplay during the outro is noteworthy though and Joe Walsh is seriously underrated as a guitarist. Henley provides a memorable delivery and backbeat and there are aesthetically pleasing musical lines throughout.) Reelin' In The Years (I like some Steely Dan okay, but it's not something I listen to very much. I kind of agree. Donald Fagen is respectable though on some sort of appreciable level.) Owner Of A Lonely Heart (As an '80s power ballads go (read: they aren't very good usually), this one is tough to beat. I have always had an ambivalent feeling towards it though. Jon Anderson's voice and songwriting is a bit annoying overall, but I do wish they wrote more songs that were as concise as this one, production vagaries considered.) Start Choppin' (You couldn't resist a slag at Dinosaur, Jr. haha. It's a well-structured tune with sensibilites ranging from power pop rock to J's special thing. Not his best solo; it was likely truncated in some ill-advised move to make it a "better" single. The "good-BYE" high note from a limited singer like Mascis is a bit grating, but hey, it's close enough for rock 'n' roll.) |

For the record, I like a lot of those bands in my list, but all the bands on that list that I like have way better songs (and in many cases, I think the songs they are "known" for are some of the worst examples in their catalogues).
I actually do like some of these songs, but overexposure has ruined a lot of them. I think it's a shame that Deep Purple are known mostly for such a boneheaded tune when Ritchie Blackmore is easily one of the best guitarists of his generation. I think it's a shame that Sabbath are known more for Iron Man than for War Pigs. In comparison to a lot of Stones material, "Satisfaction" has become a cliche and needs a rest, no matter how good it is. I like AC/DC all right, but prefer Bon Scott's voice. I have come to appreciate some Zeppelin, but come on, Stairway is overplayed. There is no denying it. I was just having a laugh. When I was a teenager I though "Everything Counts" was one of the greatest songs ever, but now it sounds hilarious and dated to me. I picked Boys Are Back In Town because it was such a huge hit for them here (and overplayed to the hilt), when so much other Thin Lizzy actually kicks ass for real. Just a joke answer, really. I'd agree with some of the points you made. |

I agree with everything you just wrote on some level. Glad you got around some of my colorful language. You are a gentleman.
