I am, incidently, not a fan of Pink Floyd. I get the same reaction of disbelief from everyone, and my only response is, "Do I look high right now?"

There is still good to be had from today's talent... the "guy with an acoustic guitar" genre is putting out some good stuff...
A lot of bands from places other than North America are making it big... perhaps do to a stagnation in creativity from us.

should stick to the topic though...

   

Your sure your not high? That's the kind of comment that gets people stabbed, BlueHoser!

   

I thought you were Defender of The Hip.... best not to spread your defences too thinly

   

I have backup. In fact, I have the largest fan base on earth as my backup. Bring it on

   

There's no on to be brought.... I don't think Pink Floyd is bad, I'm just not entertained by them...

...and there's no doubting my loyalty to The Hip, so it's all good.

Next addition:

Candy Shop by 50cent

Shouldn't this guy be in Gorillaz? Only for the sake of the name though, because Gorillaz are actually good.

   

I agree entirly. WORST SONG EVER!

Backstreet Boys - Incomplete (Well, ok, anything by them)

   

Any Billy Talent song where the screaming is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

There doesn't seem to be much innovation in the world of new rock since grunge came and went.

   

Billy Talent is good compared to Alexisonfire.... I've never minded Billy Talent, and I've never been able to tolerate Alexisonfire.

   

If you're under 40, your're not supposed to 'get' Pink Floyd unless you ARE high.

Once you hit the big four oh, Lyrics like "Time" tend to hit ya,... HARD!

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Especially when you ARE NOT high.

I agree with the first comment on the Hip. I used to see them live at "The Manor" (the one bar in Kingston where you knew Chip and Buffy from Queens wouldn't show up) and their stage show rocked. I got posted to CFB Cold Lake before their first album hit, and the recorded stuff just didn't seem to resonate (with maybe a couple exceptions like "New Orleans Is Sinking").

But hey, to each their own.

   

I'm under 40 and I love Pink Floyd... I reject and hate all the crap coming out lately.

I never really knew the Hip as a bar band, I was first introduced to them as they are now, although I have heard, and loved, much of their old works. I still like their new albums.

   

A big Hoooah! to GunPlumber. You got that about nailed.
Worst song ever was a Country-Lite version of "Another Piece of My Heart." Can't remember by who, but man, I wanted to drag the stereo out of the dash and beat it with a sledgehammer.

   

Lyrics for: They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-haaa


Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind

And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha haaa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh. You laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad

And they're coming to take me away ha haaa
They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha haaa

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

And they're coming to take me away ha haaa
They're coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats

And they're coming to take me away
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha haaa!

   

Oh comon, Hey Jude was annoying but there are so many songs worse then that. I'm looking at you , ALEXISONFIRE!

Oh, and comon... Pink Floyd, what isn't there to be a fan of? SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND!

   

The music and the words went well together..hey a happy home with chirping birds, trees....sounds good to me

   

One that I can think of off the top of my head, which is on my shoulders, but I don't know the name, is the one that starts off, "Doesn't anybody grow their hair anymore, etc." Man!!! Doesn't anybody know how to write a decent song anymore?

I think all the best songs have been written & everything else is crap!!! I prefer the oldies. I guess that's what I grew up with & is familiar. I don't begrudge the kids for listening to what they do but I do shake my head. Although I do run into alot of them that like Floyd, Zeppelin, etc.

I love that Funny Farm song. Thanks RH for bringin' back an oldie but a goodie!!
