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.....

LZ - Great R'nR band Blues based like Stones.
Domino - another 1 hit wonder
VU - overall under impressed
Kinks - Great band (Stones level?)
Prince-Great guitar ... staying power?
Supremes - Good girl group. Motown hot.
George Clinton - WTF Disco phenom.
Temptations - Good motown sound. But the overall numbers?
REM - give me break....on the Stones level?
Smokey- good singer more Motown
FZ - Very out there progressive sound.
Peppers - ? In 20 years Who the F were they?
Airplane - Will cash in on 60s too. overall?
Alice - Very good. Way ahead of his time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Progressive SR. outside Allman Bros. (not mentioned).
Alice in Chains - You can't be serious? Give Me a Break. Not even close to the Stones.
Maybe a generational thing....but let RnR history decide. these guys are not in the same league.
To me greatness isn't what YOU do, it's what you inspire OTHERS to do. Nobody was inspired by the Stones.
Also, you seem to have a very, VERY narrow definition of "rock".

You and me both.
Oh, and Nine Inch Nails. I'm not a fan but he's done some truly unique stuff and brought a sub-genre out.

I have a very broad definition of rock. I'm just unimpressed with what has been brought forth in the last 20 years.
Screaming vocals. Remixes of old songs (got a new one? worth a F)
Haven't seen any that will go down in the RnR greats. To be remembered in 20-50 years.
Nirvana seems to be the only thing that surfaces....
Any real serious playing continuous repeatable sound that inspires?
80s Bad hair band rock.
90s?
Alot of Rap in last X years. What's that done for music. Expose / promote Bitches and Ho's. Please that isn't original. Its No talent a$$ clowns.
So your problem is that you don't acknowledge anything prior to the Stones and don't like anything newer? No offense, but your personal preferences do not make a band influential or great.
