"RUSH

Rush is the soundtrack to being a fucking dork."


Get cancer, Krusty.

You know we can read your posts, right?

Like I give a shit that anybody knows I listen to The Cure?

I haven't made any secret of the fact that I have diverse musical tastes that go way beyond Van Halen in every direction possible.

Except disco and boyband/disneywhore/pre-fabricated American Idol bullshit. Can't stand any of that.

At least I've never been accused of jumping someone else's train ( a song about trendy poser bullshit)

What is your "neck of the woods,[/i] exactly? White middle class suburbia?

Then, yes. Now? Not so much.

I've got at least 4 discs by The Cure. Never saw too many goth girls though - again, much more of the "I'm alternative" type. Unfortunately their knowledge of alternative music usually started and ended with REM.

[FORD]

REM was a great band until Bill Berry's brain blew up on him, and he quit.

Never would have predicted the drummer would be the key member of that group.

The problem is that Me and LumpMachine aren't mentioned

The problem is The GOAT wasn't mentioned. His contribution to the downfall of rock and roll can't be this easily forgotten.

[Seshmeister]

Hybrid between goth and punk.

A gonk?

I thought gunk but gonk is funnier

REM is the definition of white middle class angst. Although I will admit their first 5 albums were pretty much masterpieces but then...where in the fuck did this "shiny happy people" shit come from? Was Stipe OD'ing on heavy antidepressants? Then, of course, somewhere in the 90's he lost his religion and became another bloated rock star asshole millionaire.

Thank you, MTV. Next to Jimmy Page you have virtually destroyed all that was once pure and good with music.

Look how white people cannot dance for shit:


What else? Some highly annoying pussy and tit shots of a late 30-something Kate Pierson. What in the hell happened to her? Did Iggy Pop traumatize her is some fashion? 'Candy' was one hell of a great song, but this? Like most white people, Kate only knows one dance move: "The Swim." Notice the black girl giving the old man some old fashioned Jonestown Guyanese-made Kool-Aid and he becomes "shiny" and "happy" as well. Oh, and let's not forget those dancers who look like theater major failures. The nerdy bass player, the filthy hippie mandolin player, the lost drummer. And then there is Stipe himself dressed like a the kid who used to deliver your newspaper when he was 12 but is now 30 and is still delivering your newspaper. Not the gheyest tune they did but certainly one of the gayest. Jingley-Jangely retarded early 90's college rock for retards.

Lucky for her, Kate did redeem herself:


Great tune except that Iggy is trying to much to be like Billy Idol here. But Billy could never write a tune as kick ass as this. Okay, maybe 'Blue Highway' now that kicked ass.

[Kristy]

Of course, here is the BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN!


Not sure why but it sounds slightly autobiographical to me for some reason.

Obviously a result of his uni-brow trying to take over his head....
