[progmom]

en hommage à Monsieur StMoran.





*just not saying which planet

[Richardo]

1. How did sundog get in that picture?

:shrug:

[progmom]

3. OMG

sundog = The Edge. :wow:

[miss_american_pie]

2. Bono is so dreamy.

;)

[RandomKoolzip]

4. If you killed off every other band on the planet....

your statement might arguably be true.

[mdmc]

5. zooropa turned me

used to heate em, now I love em...

[progmom]

6. didja miss my asterisk?

:eyes:














:hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Doesn't MATTER which planet.

They'd still be THE worst band on Neptune even if there were no other PEOPLE on Neptune.

Yes, I RANDOMLY capitalize words, so WHAT?

[progmom]

8. why do i hear your post in a Chandler Bing voice?

:rofl:

[Richardo]

10. Could he BE any more Bing?

:D

[RandomKoolzip]

11. What or who is Chandler Bing?

:shrug:

[progmom]

15. oh don't even TRY to deny that you're a Friends fanatic

[RandomKoolzip]

18. Saw one episode, once.

Honestly. Ask SotbPaul; he knows I hate that damned show. (he likes it)


Plus, up against the sage wit and fiery political passion of 'Caroline in the City,' 'Friends' seemed anemic to me at the time. Maybe it's aged better....

[progmom]

19. ah yes, Caroline in the City

that shit was DEEP

[RandomKoolzip]

20. Like the Marianas Trench!

The day they cancelled that show was the day the BFEE OFFICIALLY took over.

'Hope and Gloria?' MERE imitators!

[progmom]

21. OMG...Hope and Gloria

which in turn was ripped off by Hope and Faith

[RandomKoolzip]

24. You have these pics SAVED to your hard drive, dontcha?

How else do you get "Hope and Gloria" pictures so quick?!

Anyway, we all know the best show on NBC that season was "Boston Common," with that dreadfully unfunny schmuck from "Yes, Dear."

[progmom]

27. hell yeah

and that great Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place


...with that guy who went on to fame as Mr. Alanis Morissette.

[nickgutierrez]

31. No way.

They are, at the very least, better than Oasis.

[progmom]

35. agreed

:thumbsup:

[democracyindanger]

9. Must be the planet Craptonia

orbiting Pseudo Intellectual I in the Overrated galaxy.

[progmom]

13. that is ENTIRELY possible

(though I have to admit to being a tiny bit of a fan...then again, I have an appreciation for Sting...so maybe I do like bloviating pseudo-intellectuals :shrug:)

[democracyindanger]

22. .

Psst. I don't mind Sting that much, being a old school Police fan, but admitting that would ruin my shtick.

[progmom]

23. good thing you put that in italics

I'd hate for you to ruin your shtick. :rofl:

[LynneSin]

12. Yeah, maybe if we kill off about 20 other Rock & Roll band first

Kinda like if you kill about 5000 people in line for the throne of England I could then be Queen of England!

[progmom]

17. yeah well - tell Stop The Morans

HE's the big U2 fan. :P

[Initech]

14. Rolling Stones > U2

:popcorn:

[LynneSin]

16. Led Zeppelin > U2 >>>>>>>> Creed >>>>>>>>>>>>> Rolling Stones (after 1981)

If you're figuring out the order of things

[democracyindanger]

25. Any mention of Creed

demands mention of the Scott Stapp Drives Two Hours In The Hopes of Getting Laid But Actually Is Being Suckered For Laughs story:

"...I heard through the grapevine that night that Creed had actually kicked Scott Stapp out of their band. I don't know if this is true or not as no one on the Internet has any stories about it. But I googled him recently and found out that his solo career isn't taking off nearly like he expected, despite being the first released single off the Passion of the Christ Songs CD-- songs inspired by the movie. Mel Gibson hand picked him for a special screening, and he wrote a song after he was so personally affected by the movie. Douche.

Anyway, so the guy who was so spiritually affected by The Passion of the Christ is now hightailing it to Gainesville to tag a piece of ass he met in an airport bar. And he's having his ghettotastic hootchie skanky Jersey girl sleaze of a sister drive him. Yes, Creed is making his sister drive him to the Gainesville Denny's for a booty call..."

[LynneSin]

28. You did notice there were a ton of >>>>>>>>> between U2 and Creed

but even still I would rate Creed higher than anything the Stones have done after 1981

[Initech]

49. No way is Creed better than the Stones

:puke:

[LynneSin]

52. If you include the Stones before 1981 you're right

but afterwards they've put crap out - you've heard it, it's all crap. Nothing worth wasting my money on buying. NOT ONE SINGLE ALBUM WHATSOEVER.

I'm a major fan of classic rock but sometimes it's good that the band wraps it up after putting out 10-12 good albums like what has happened with Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. (Queen was starting to go that direction until the untimely death of Freddie Mercury - I can't stand any of their albums after Jazz) Because eventually, the band just starts running out of ideas on what is good music and tries too hard to compete with the current groups that are hot right now and the music starts tanking.

[Initech]

53. Agreed, the albums they put out between Tattoo You and A Bigger Bang =

CRAP!!

I bought a used copy of Bridges To Babylon recently. Definately not the best Stones album I've ever heard.

[LynneSin]

54. I worry about bands like U2 and Green Day

Both bands have been around for awhile and both are at their peaks. I'm fearful that soon enough they'll start putting out the crap just to keep up with the younger bands.

BTW, Aerosmith falls into the same group as the Stones.

[Initech]

55. Definately agreed about Aerosmith

:puke:

[REDKING]

26. The most overated band ever....

on any planet,couple of good songs and then that asshole starts preaching.I actually am embarrassed
at the fact I'm from the same country.

[progmom]

29. he may be a prat, but he has done some good

[REDKING]

30. Some good?

Here is a man who comes on tv to talk about poverty.He does not pay any taxes at all.Height of insults.A multi millionaire who doesnt pay taxes...I rest my case.
Petty words and poetry may inspire but actions speak louder than words.

[progmom]

33. still say he has done more than many who have reached similar heights

:shrug:

[1gobluedem]

32. I thought it was the Osmond Brothers

Hard rockin' Osmond Brothers.

[progmom]

34. then?

...or now?

[Richardo]

36. Adam Clayton is with the Osmond Brothers?

[progmom]

37. and i thought it was Robin Gibb

[1gobluedem]

38. I just read Donny's bio -- how's that for being bored?

The only shocking thing in it is he was prescribed vodka for some anxiety/stage fright disorder. And only shocking to him, because he's Mormon.

Why doesn't anyone prescribe Miller Lite for me? Then I would only have to pay the co-pay.

[progmom]

39. i had to read John Denver's bio in 6th grade

shocking revelation: he liked to ride his riding lawn mower in the nude :wow:

what would the co-pay on a 6 pack of cheap beer be?

[1gobluedem]

41. Six pack?

That's for amatuers. :beer: A twelve pack, at least.

My co-pay is $5.

Who made you read John Denver's bio?

[progmom]

44. Mrs Rutz

The other books she ordered hadn't arrived yet. She found a box of the Denver books in the back of a closet somewhere. Or so she said. :eyes:

[Blue-Jay]

50. I do that all the time.

and I have a push mower.


(The following is a random sitcom screencap)

[progmom]

51. you made my thread flamey

[yvr girl]

40. I'm sure he'll send flowers to say thanks

:hi:

[progmom]

42. yivver!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[yvr girl]

43. Stop the Morans

Maybe Bono too, who knows.

[progmom]

45. how are YOU today?

[yvr girl]

46. Fine and dandy

How about YOU?

[progmom]

47. sleepy
