Guest Felonies! Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Seriously Czech, what kind of weirdo would flip out on someone for saying 'irregardless'? Wouldnt that be a reduntant waste of time? Because it makes the speaker sound uneducated? I've heard teachers say it before. It's maddening.
snuffbox Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Freaking out about grammer would strike me as 'uneducated'...
bob_barron Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I use irregardless all the time, because they said it in Mean Girls and I was the only one who laughed really hard when they did. I like to see who can pick up that it's not a real word.
snuffbox Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I hope you dont cause anyone a stroke, Bob Barron.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Wouldnt that be a reduntant waste of time? I'm having a problem with this thing here.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Another big omission - Nick Drake's 'Northern Sky'. There's not much of a point arguing with what should be on a list like this.
2GOLD Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I'm starting to think it's a law that Nirvana must be on every list ever. Even if the list is the best country songs of all time, Nirvana must be in the top 100. We get it, Kurt died and it really sucked. Boo hoo. Let it the hell go.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Yeah, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a breakthrough for it's time, but I don't see how the lyrics are that memorable. Hell, I can't understand what Kurt is saying in half the song. Definitely a UK-centric list. For those wondering, the Arctic Monkeys are the current loves of the British press, with people going so far as to proclaim their new album one of the most important albums ever, etc. Basically they're where the Libertines and Strokes were a couple years back. If you're going to put a Morrissey penned song so high up, I would rather have seen "Every Day is Like Sunday." "How Soon is Now" is still a good tune, though.
Youth N Asia Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Fuck Kurt Cobain in his rotting overrated shell of an ass. If Eddie Vedder had killed himself instead then Jeremy would top all of these stupid lists. Nirvana was nothing more than a grunge band that put out a couple of good albums.
Guest Deputy Marshall Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 IRREGARDLESS ISN'T A WORD. The ir- is redundant. Just looking out for you. You'll get worse if you say it out loud to the wrong person. I don't get the Arctic Monkeys thing either. It's that same NME hype machine that professes how brilliant the Strokes are. Wow...I don't know what possessed me to use that, honestly. Total brainfart. I get the same way with grammar at times. I remember being told that The Arctic Monkeys were the voice of my generation. I listened to a couple songs, and their lyrics. Then I came to the realization that my generation is fucking doomed.
Guest Felonies! Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Irredundant list. RABBLE! RABBLE! GRRR! I don't get the whole snuffbox thing.
Sideburnious Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Don't worry, you're not alone. And yeah, the whole Arctic Monkey thing pisses me off. Its just a new fucking trend over here. People won't even remember them/ give them the time of day in about three years time and that song will be nowhere near any lists. The British magazine media (especially NME) just jump on these bands and continually consider them "saviours of music". I swear each new issue of NME has a band on the front cover and is praising them for being the best band ever, but just phrased differently i.e "The best band in 30 years"..."The best album of the decade"..."The Artist of the new millenium".
Guest Felonies! Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Nobody's ever clarified just what exactly is good about the Arctic Monkeys. It sounded pretty generic and uncompelling to me. Is this some thing where the British press feels the need to just keep churning out charismatic guitar bands because That's What They Do or something?
Sideburnious Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Basically they're trying to create the next big thing so they can say they were there first. There's nothing special about the arctic monkeys. It reminds me of Pete Doherty who everyone is trying to set up as this huge martyr to music, like he's the next Kurt Cobain or Jeff Buckley. It's like they've already planned his premature death and are just waiting to shout from the rooftops about what a talent he is and how we were all robbed. But I digress. Basically the Arctic Monkeys is Englands very own trendy pop band (as they are the originators of it) who are approachable to a mature(er) audience and men. They have a shelf life of about three years, then the mass media won't care. *I had this long winded thing written out, but the wireless internet at the library in my college keeps cutting out, so it didn't post. Each "page cannot be displayed" brings me closer to a murderous rage locked deep within.*
Sideburnious Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 EDIT: Triple Post (damn you library internet)
Murmuring Beast Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Someone said 'believe the hype' and everyone followed it. No-one over 25 should like the band.
luke-o Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 80) Happy Mondays – Kinky Afro yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss! But seriously, no Bloodhound Gang? "The Morn that i was born, my old man beat up the doctor, he clocked the doctor cause the doctor said i looked like Chewbacca" or "im not black like barry white, I am white like Frank Black is" sorry, i re-discovered one fierce beer coaster..
Mecha Mummy Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Redemption Song at #4 is good. "Hey Ya" even being in the list... not so much.
