I still love Paint it Black even though I've listened to it thousands of tims. I can remember the first time my father played his vinyl copy. To me, it's a song that was so ahead of it's time and the production still holds up to contemporary music.YellowSnow said:
I hear you on the burn out factor of songs you've heard too many time (and for more decades than many of us). The great thing about today's streaming technology is I'm still finding recordings by the 50's, 60's and 70's that I had no idea of 20 years ago in college.RaceBannon said:
This song made my all time play listSwaye said:Stevie Nicks and Don Henly "Leather and Lace." If I could turn one woman's voice into a vagina and fuck it, I'd pick Stevie Nicks.
I had a vinyl collection , a CD collection and now I'm downloading my all time play list. Around 300 songs
Its not really bout what is greatest - songs from the 60's and 70's hardly make it since i have heard them thousands of times.
It songs I am not burned out on that I still enjoy when fucked up.

Fuck this thread. I've wasted about
threefourteen hours watching youtube videos.
Here's one that will get no play but absurdly good. The blonde gave me a boner in '91. Still does.

My first was Night Ranger opening for ZZ TopBearsWiin said:People forget how much fun Night Ranger's first two albums were. First concert I evar went to was Tesla opening for Night Ranger at the Concord Pavilion
Saw Europe open for Def Leppard at the Shoreline in 1988. Lep was great, Europe was nothing special -

My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in like 1970. My mom drove us to Seattle
I love Def Leppard. I only started listening to then this century so its still kind of new
I spent the 80's listening to funk and dance music -

Jerry Garcia was the Grateful Dead. No Jerry, no Dead; it's just some surviving members who love touring and god bless 'em, but it's not the same. I never got to see them live before he died in '95. I would have had to catch them on tour when I was in HS and I was a sheltered SLOW STRATEGY kid who probably wouldn't have been a good fit at Dead show. By college I would have been fine and smoked weed and talked shit.UW_Doog_Bot said:
The wife and her best friend are huge dead fans. I honestly had zero interest until I saw them live. I can only imagine how much better they must have been before their current line up.YellowSnow said:The Police lyrics thread got me thinking of a new idea for a shitty YellowSnow music snob thread /pole.
With that said, what is a band or artist that you think is outstanding and amongst the all time greats that most (i.e., < 81%) here think suck?
For me it's the Grateful Dead which are my all time favorite American rock group. But from what I can gather over the past 1.5 years of research we have no other Dead fans and most are either meh or hate them outright.

The very earliest stuff is the best. It got a little poppy there in the early 90s. Every fucking fraternity on campus could not stop playing "Pour Some Sugar" day and fucking night. You could hear it from the fucking Ave. Those frat boys really loved their Def Leppard back in the day.RaceBannon said:My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in like 1970.

Let it Go and High and Dry - good shit.
Fun Fact: Pete Doubleday, the managing partner of EY's Portland office, was in the band that was to become Def Leppard. The guy actually did what is the right thing for 99.999% of the people 99.999% of the time by quitting the rock business and becoming an accountant. He didn't.
But in fairness, as the managing partner in Portland, and having run their London office, he's a fairly senior guy in a global firm and is not hurting for money. -

Whatever album that was with Pour Some Sugar on it was a piece of shit. Hysteria? I knew it was garbage when the girl I was with at the time bought it. Her musical taste was horrific.
On Through The Night, High n Dry and Pyromania were all good albums, though. They got paid with Hysteria, like Metallica did with the black album. Garbage compared to their earlier work, but big sellers.
Money is bad for bands. They always make better music when they're poor. -
Entirely agree. Hysteria had some shit bubble gum music for the frat boy crowd, who eats that shit up. Rocket. Yeah. See ya later! Rocket. Yeah. See ya later. Armagedonit? Jesus. Garbage pop rock.dflea said:

On Through The Night isn't that good, but you can hear the seeds of something speshul once Mutt Lange got his hands on the boys and refined their sound. High n Dry is in my minivan's CD changer; still one of the best aggressive driving albums evar made. Pyromania came out when I was a freshman in high school; Photograph and Rock of Ages made me fall in luv with them, and even now I can pop in the CD and sing along to every fucking song on the album. Hysteria was pop shit, but when you're 17 and your nympho GF thinks Pour Some Sugar On Me is good music to act out stripper fantasies to, well, you don't mind it that much. Saw Def Lep in Andover MD on Election Night 1992; Joe Eliot came out for their encore and said "Word is, there's a new sheriff in town.." which is how I found out that Clinton had won.dflea said:

And many forget that Hysteria was tanking big time. Critics ripped it and no one was buying it. That was until they released Poor Some Sugar on Me as a single. And then after that sales boomed and just about every other single got released. But that is where Def Lep died. I saw em in Eugene in 2016. Decent show. Only because they played 4 songs off of high n dry.creepycoug said:

Someone will have to remind me: did the drummer lose his arm before or after Pyromania? I think he was one-armed for Pyro, so I can't blame Hysteria on that I guess. Just a garbage 90s Greek Row album if I ever heard one.salemcoog said:
