Dante's Inferno

Why such a negative opinion of Mick?

and btw: The quote is from the mid-70's when the Meters toured with the Stones.

One of the best heavy metal hooks of all time right here...

Who is that singing? Oh, I remember!

Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne's drinking led to his firing from the band in 1979, and then went on to a solo career between the early 1980s and mid 1990s.

you can stick that 80's bullshit up your arse.



...that is not to say there aren't a few 80's tunes worthy of Dante's place, but as time goes on they will be few and far between.

Mick is/was a great artist and showman/entertainer. His opinion of others has from time to time, called his judgment in these matters into question.

Like Ozzie, Mick and the Stones led lives that were not to be admired or emulated. I give no quarter in that area.

I like the Stones' music (not all...there is that 80s period. ) and have never paid the outrageous sums some people do (decades later) to hear canned/manipulated/techo enhanced, music from dancing scrotums, and walking corpses.

I sang this next one often, when I was in the Army--at Ft. Gordon, MD.

NATIONAL LAMPOON - DETERIORATA LYRICS

(Parody of the written prose "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann. This was written by Christopher Guest of "Spinal Tap" fame. The narator is Norman Rose, and the female singer was an unknown singer at the time named Melissa Manchester.)

You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata. Deteriorata.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly of The 70s

[youtube]cVRC5BnNg8A[/youtube]​

not a bad compilation, but I post it just to show that in it's entirety, the 70s makes the 80s look like--well, the eighties.

A gift...from me to you.

What I find amusing is that you appear to have been personally offended by the fact that I started a thread to recognize the good music that actually came out of the eighties, a decade unfairly maligned as having produced nothing but crap.

I love the music from the 60's and 70's. I didn't mean to imply the 80's were better.

I apologize for offending your delicate sensibilities and hurting your feelings... unintentionally.

Don't let the fact that this one was named for a Rand novel totally ruin it for you d.

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward...no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought

Live for yourself...there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song

...and if you're going to post some Tull, you can do a lot better than Living in the Past.

For those of you only familiar with the 3 minute radio version of Thick as a Brick, the full version takes up the entire album and runs 45 minutes long. Ironically, it was a misunderstood spoof of concept albums that was hailed as one of the greatest concept albums ever by the music critics of the day.

Anyway, this live version of the first 10 minutes is pretty good.

 

[manifold]

It's too bad I couldn't find a good live version of this, but it's still well worth a listen.

A traditional song written over 200 years ago with no known author, recorded by many, but nobody sings it quite like Sandy Denny did and NOBODY plays it like Fairport Convention. The instrumental at then end is truly sublime.

Dante is dead, that is true, but I find your series of posts here amusing.

Myself, I am not offended by anything an anonymous poster, on an anonymous internet message board, posts.

"Nothing To Say"

Everyday there's someone asking
what is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
is it all the same to you?
No I say I have the answer
proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you,
you would stand to gain
and I to lose.
Oh I couldn't bear it
so I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Every morning pressure forming
all around my eyes.
Ceilings crash, the walls collapse,
broken by the lies
that your misfortune brought upon us
and I won't disguise them.
So don't ask me will I explain
I won't even begin to tell you why.
No, just because I have a name
well I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
to criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
So ask of me no answer
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
and I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
