The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

Still better yet I'll give you 40 years to do it.
Stones put on an awesome show. ever been to one.....
Continue to live in the Sh1tty current R'n'R presence. The bands blow.
Keep yapping grandpa.
"This one time we had this band, they ruled. We had to walk uphill both ways in 6 inches of snow in July to see their show. My mom would put a baked potato in my coat to keep me warm, then it would double as my lunch when I got to the show. It was cool as hell."
It's obvious that no-one could ever convince a homer like you that there is a band better than the Rolling Poons, so I'm not going to bother. Instead I'm going to mock you mercilessly because I find it amusing.

If he ate the baked potato at the show, what kept him warm on the walk home?
So, let's examine "influential" rock bands vs. some schlubs who capitalized off a stoned audience and turned that into over-charging to aging hippies trying to recapture their lost glory...
In no particular order:
1. The Beatles. You may have heard of them.
2. Jimi Hendrix. Kind of a slacker, though.
3. The Who. Did a show or two, they were supposedly Ok.
4. The Ramones.
5. Nirvana. Did the Stones spawn an entire genre? I can't remember.
6. The Doors. Who was their lead singer again?
7. U2. I hate them, but they seem to be financially viable.
8. The Grateful Dead. 20 years ain't got s**t on them.
9. Metallica. Hell, they made a bunch of money and have been around 20 years.
10. The Eagles.
You're right, though. The Stones are the best band EVAH!!!!11!
