And what about the younger generations music? Wtf happened to it?

I was born in 92, so unfortunately for me I can't remember back when music actually meant something. (Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Nirvana, Creedance Clearwater Revival, etc.)
:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

But on a positive note I'm getting a 2002 Chevy Camaro from my dad soon. I'll post pics here when I get it to cheer people up :)

I know right? Back in the 80's and further, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Guns & Roses, Men at work, Tears for fears, Holland oats. That was good music and still is! :D

Ah, this generation of music is bleh to me... I probably won't ever get this generations music.
 
Finally home. The line wasn't to bad. A little bit to high paced for me to be able to keep up with, but I did better than most apparently. :thumbup::D

That would be Hall & Oates, as in Darryl Hall and John Oates, the highly prolific '80s pop duo.

Motorhead and Black Sabbath (lead: Ozzy Osbourne) were more '70s metal, but yes, we listened the them a lot in the '80s too.
Also, Led Zeppelin, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Yes, Kiss, Queen and AC/DC were '70s bands that held their own in the early '80s.

In the '80s proper we had Journey, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Van Halen (lead: David "Diamond Dave" Lee Roth), Bon Jovi, Metallica, and the Big Hair metal bands.

Near the end of the '80s is when the Grunge movement started, though it is categorized as a '90s thing.

Let us not forget the women: The Runaways (Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Cherie Curry, Sandy West) opened the floodgates in the '70's, when Joan and Lita went solo, Pat Benatar, Jefferson Airplane (lead: Grace Slick; group became Jefferson Starship, then Starship), Heart (Anne and Nancy Wilson), Fleetwood Mac (lead: Stevie Nicks, also Christy McVie), Blondie ( Debby Harry), and Patti Smith.

The Pretenders (Chrissy Hynde), Madonna, The B52s, Melissa Etheridge, The Eurythmics (Annie Lennox), Sonic Youth (Kim Gordon), and Siouxsie Sioux rocked the hell out of the '80s.

Hey, you left someone out as far as 80's metal is concerned. Two words: Iron Maiden.

Frickin' amazing show. Got to see them w/ Alice Cooper a year ago.


RANT! I f'in hate Hollywood. I got a blu-ray burner for $50 two years ago and it came with PowerDVD. Turns out, that I can't play ANY blu-rays now, even older ones, because the certificates are revoked. I have to pay $50+ to play a damn Blu-Ray movie I f'in purchased. That is insane. And then Hollywood pretends it doesn't know why people pirate movies. I tell you, if not for moral compunctions, I'd never buy a movie again. Its ridiculous that there is NO cheap way to play my movies on my computer until I get a PS3 or Blu-Ray player.

What about Nirvana , you can't leave them out.

Nirvana falls into that Grunge category I mentioned.

Of course, this was all off-the-cuff and I couldn't possibly list all the major and influential bands of the eras mentioned. Iron Maiden is an iconic metal band in the '80s... I also forgot to mention David Bowie, who personified Glam Rock. His influence flavors every brand of rock.

Also mentioned by (not me) is Alice Cooper, who is a prolific writer of music, very intelligent and an all-around nice guy, even in his old age.

As for my rant-- Disney.

Need I say more?
 
What is grinding my gears right meow is that I just went into Best Buy, and there's this kid that I used to work with at a pet store that works there. He was one who was talking crap, saying things behind my back. Hes just not a nice person at all.

Hes is high school, and I'm in college, and I have applied there like 5 times, and never got as much as a phone call, and hes just a high school kid and he already has a better job than my McDonalds job. How does this work out?
Why does he get to work there and I don't? OH, because he's a narcissist arrogant jerk.

Rant over, I'm going to go and apply to MicroCenter now. I would rather work there anyway.

That was my experience... Until I finally got my career launched. Now I can hold it over (though I usually don't) my old coworkers heads (the ones I don't like).

Oops, my bad. :p Yeah, it is further back, but that was great music. There's also Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Warrant, The police, Megadeth, and U.F.O I'm sure nobody has of heard of U.F.O :p
 
You ever take a sip out of a cup thinking it is one thing, then finding out it is something different?

Yeah... I took a sip out of a McDonald's cup expecting regular iced tea (i put in just enough sweetener to knock back half the bitterness), and choke on a mouthful of sweet tea.

I had to take a hit of whipped cream to wash the sweetness out of my mouth.

Seriously, that wasn't tea, it was tea-flavored sugar syrup!
