"Eight Miles High" was a better song, anyway.

I saw him lurking there after I made that thread but he still didn't post. I hate him so much.

Nancy Sinatra's contributions to music wouldn't be remembered today were it not for Lee Hazlewood. "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"—which he wrote—was a pop song, sure, but that guy had much more on his mind than appealing to the radio crowd. Not that I had anywhere to go with the above, but Milky mentioned the Sinatra duaghter, which got me thinking of Hazlewood, which, in turn, got me thinking of "Some Velvet Morning," which is such an awesome song.

Johnsosom? Anyway, little-to-none of what you mentioned goes beyond what I talked about in my last post. And Johnson didn't even invent the blues! (Which isn't to discredit what he did do for music.)

Stones, Beatles, Dylan, early hard rock/metal bands (Led Zep, Black Sabbath, etc.)...even when you take into consideration all the artists that have since taken cues from them, where can you claim the blues has strong presence on music? Yeah, it helped birth rock, but very little of the people/bands that took something from the aforementioned canonical acts kept the blues in their sound. I should've assumed you were being subjective. So I won't argue with you there.

I don't know how anyone can believe what Milky said, himself included. That period of time was the greatest for rap in terms of the quality of music being produced, but mid/late 60s-early 70s of rock has done so much more for music as whole. Rock music from that era helped lay the groundwork for all that would follow. The "Golden Era" of rap that Milky was suggesting—which inarguably saw the release of a number of classic hip hop albums—outside of gangster rap, holds relatively little sway over the music scene today.

I assumed you were a chick due to your girly screenname.

I'm gonna be real embarassed if I'm the only bearded guy that posts here.

I have sexy pink lips. I hope WelshJerichoMark checks out this thread.

You should pick a major other than graphic design, champ.

I'm starting to think there should be a moratorium on hip hop threads at this board. Or, at the very least, a list should be compiled of people who should not be allowed to post in such threads.

You won't be saying that when Hogan jobs to Triple H tonight will you Hogan Made Wrestling. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll bet this was Inc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tend to use punctuation.

Czech pulled a y2jerk in this thread.

I remember he said something nice about XTC, but Andy Partridge was all "I don't like that guy, who cares what he thinks" etc. I also love XTC.

Okay, Czech, you're out of your element here. Stick to Zappa and Smiths threads.

And that. Like no one's ever spoken ill of the president before.

Except for the part about anyone wanting to say something negative against West's sentiments having a change of heart because of all that footage. That's not going to change.

snuffbox nailed it, folks.

Too easy, I think. And I thought the New York Dolls were Morrissey's favorite band. Or their s/t release was his favorite album. I figure you or Mr. Quiff might know more about that than I.

Yes, because they're so similar. I love Roxy Music. I have "Love is the Drug" as my ringtone. So gay!

Oh, and LAST NIGHT I DREAMT THAT SOMEBODY LOVED ME

Marilyn Manson is pretty bad, but I tend to keep quiet about that around Milky, because MM is the only thing he ever talks about sincerely.

I stopped liking the Smiths after Fred Durst wore their t-shirt.

Listen, you fucking twit. The sophomoric level of discussion in this thread was fine for my 9th grade government class, but I expect a little bit more maturity when talking of these matters. And I'm not getting it in this thread. But hey! I realize you're only 13 or 12 or 10-years-old, and this for you is heady and deep. In which case, I can understand why you take this very seriously and were offended by my previous attempt at talking down to your level.
