Tool is good too. It's too bad 95% of the new rock bands suck. Not to mention, rock isn't considered cool anymore so kids won't grow up wanting to be rock stars.

Yes, modern radio is dreckier than a 1000 Pac12 basketball seasons. Yes REAL radio music died 15 years ago. Yes the entire corporate music industry needs to die in a fiery fucking mudslide.
But there will never be anything worse than Nickelback.

I spent 15 years in Seattle. You're either full of shit if you think it doesn't rain A LOT more in Seattle than other places, or you're list of "other places" is Portland and San Francisco.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Today I Found Out that Seattle doesn’t really get that much rain compared to most U.S. cities. In fact, Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches).
So why does everyone not from Seattle think to go outside in Seattle without an umbrella is tantamount to committing suicide? Partially because of the entertainment industry producing things like Sleepless in Seattle, Frasier, and the like which portray it as such. (Along with always showing a Seattle skyline where somehow the space needle is by far the tallest thing in Seattle. Even though the Space Needle is actually about average in height compared to the 25 or so skyscrapers in Seattle; coming in at about 600 feet including the needle. With Seattle possessing quite a few skyscrapers around the same height and 6 skyscrapers taller than it; including the Columbia Center at 937 feet, which has more floors, 76, than any building in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River and is the 20th tallest building in the United States).
But the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119). All cities that get an average of about 16% more rain per year than Seattle, but also average between them about 36 less days a year of precipitation. So it rains a lot less in Seattle, but is spread out over about a month more of days than those cities. This is why almost no native Seattle-ite carries an umbrella generally. When it does rain, it tends to be a very light drizzle that isn’t bothersome. It almost never really “rains” as most people from places like Alabama, Boston, or the like think of rain. On top of that, it never really storms in Seattle either. Seattle gets an average of a mere seven days a year where thunder is heard, for instance.

Grow the hell up and take a fucking community college stats course. Seattle has 1 month more of "rain" than most cities. And on those days that it does "rain", it sprinkles that lasts 10-30 minutes. So, while the frequency is a bit higher, it's not that big of a deal. Unless you're a pussy from Portland like you.
You obviously haven't spent much time in Seattle.
I *heart* the 206. I miss so very many things about it. The water, the mountains, the diversity (Hi Delridge!), even the drecky sports teams.
But I do not miss the fucking rain.
Inches of precipitation doesn't mean shit. I live in Memphis and it doesn't rain 1/3 as often here as it does in Seattle. When it does rain it pours the fuck down, gets it over with, and goes back to being sunny within an hour or two.
Memphis rain >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Seattle drizzle. -

Memphis gets 107 days of rain per year, or about 2/3 as many as Seattle. But a day of rain does not = 24 hours of rain.
Rain here is like a middle school boy watching his first porno - it's over before you knew it started and makes a hell of a mess.
Rain in Seattle is like grandma wetting her depends. Will she or won't she? Did she piss or is that just ass sweat? Why am I checking grandma's depends? It's a constant issue.
I guaranfuckingtee you if there's a stat out there on "rainy hours" Seattle is at least twice as rainy as it is here, and probably well into three times.

I guaranfuckingtee you if there's a stat out there on "rainy hours" Seattle is at least twice as rainy as it is here, and probably well into three times.
Seattle is #44 when it comes to major US cities when it comes to annual rainfall. Not the fucking mud puddle people make it out to be.
I hope that fucking helps you, DoogInCarolina

I spent 15 years in Seattle. You're either full of shit if you think it doesn't rain A LOT more in Seattle than other places, or you're list of "other places" is Portland and San Francisco.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
But the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119)TierbsHsotBoobs said:

This. Exactly, word for word. Most of the other states outside the PNW have shitty weather. Frozen ass winters. No fall or spring. And FUCKING MISERABLE, stifling, humid, disgusting fucking heat for 4 months out of the year with all kinds of pestilent bugs swarming and biting you.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
alright Michael, tell me where a better place to live is? Washington, Alaska, Montana, Oregon, parts of Idaho.....you can't beat it for nature and livability. Florida, AZ, NM, Cali, and Hawaii are all nice, but have flaws, as does the PNW..MikeDamone said:
Jesus. Stop. Embarrassing shit.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
Disagree, the northwest is the best region of the USA to live in.TheHB said:Seattle vs. Portland is pretty much:
the NorthEast is alright, I miss the mountains when I'm there though. too flat. Chicago has nice parts and bad parts. The eastern seaboard is miserable compared to the western seaboard. Texas sucks.
I can't comment on the south as I've never been there, but I'd imagine it isn't better than here
Today I Found Out that Seattle doesn’t really get that much rain compared to most U.S. cities. In fact, Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches).
So why does everyone not from Seattle think to go outside in Seattle without an umbrella is tantamount to committing suicide? Partially because of the entertainment industry producing things like Sleepless in Seattle, Frasier, and the like which portray it as such. (Along with always showing a Seattle skyline where somehow the space needle is by far the tallest thing in Seattle. Even though the Space Needle is actually about average in height compared to the 25 or so skyscrapers in Seattle; coming in at about 600 feet including the needle. With Seattle possessing quite a few skyscrapers around the same height and 6 skyscrapers taller than it; including the Columbia Center at 937 feet, which has more floors, 76, than any building in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River and is the 20th tallest building in the United States).
But the primary root of this rainy misconception really lies in that Seattle has a relatively high amount of days per year with precipitation (158), compared to such places as New York (119), Boston (127), and Nashville (119). All cities that get an average of about 16% more rain per year than Seattle, but also average between them about 36 less days a year of precipitation. So it rains a lot less in Seattle, but is spread out over about a month more of days than those cities. This is why almost no native Seattle-ite carries an umbrella generally. When it does rain, it tends to be a very light drizzle that isn’t bothersome. It almost never really “rains” as most people from places like Alabama, Boston, or the like think of rain. On top of that, it never really storms in Seattle either. Seattle gets an average of a mere seven days a year where thunder is heard, for instance.
Today, you found out. Courtesy of google.
Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches).
Grow the hell up and take a fucking community college stats course. Seattle has 1 month more of "rain" than most cities. And on those days that it does "rain", it sprinkles that lasts 10-30 minutes. So, while the frequency is a bit higher, it's not that big of a deal. Unless you're a pussy from Portland like you.
You obviously haven't spent much time in Seattle.
I *heart* the 206. I miss so very many things about it. The water, the mountains, the diversity (Hi Delridge!), even the drecky sports teams.
But I do not miss the fucking rain.
I believe you are confusing "cloudy" with "rainy"
Memphis gets 107 days of rain per year, or about 2/3 as many as Seattle. But a day of rain does not = 24 hours of rain.
Rain here is like a middle school boy watching his first porno - it's over before you knew it started and makes a hell of a mess.

Totally idiotic!
Seattle is 44th int he country in actual rainfall per year.
Here is the link, see for yourself:

By the way, Eugene gets about 14 inches more in rainfall per year. What do you say about that? LOL
When you say Seattle, you should just say how many people are trying to relocate here. Cloudy days, yes, we have a lot of those, but when it rains, you don't even really need an umbrella it's so light.

@dnc is reaching IMALOSER status in this thread.

I love when Seattleites get upset when someone says it rains a lot. It fucking rains all the time. Even when it's not rainy, it's gray.

This thread has gone from being about down votes on Seattle Times, to whether Seattle or Portland is more pussified, to rock music discussions, to rainfall in Seattle. There has even been some AM/FM radio talk mixed in. A lot of thread jacking going on here. Kim would be pissed.

This thread went from shitty to awesome when old man music talk to being shitty again with weather talk.
Too bad here in Nazi Germany someone couldn't drop a citrus bomb. -
Stats and logic are on my side...It rains more in 44 other major metro areas than it does in Seattle. This thread just proves DoogInCarolina, Boobs, and co. hate some clouds and factsdnc said:

Stats and logic are not subjects in your wheelhouse, in addition to politics. Keep sucking the Chinese off doogy...they are doing so much better than us!!
Stick to football and family references, fren. Two subjects you do have dialed in
