    Oh come on. Pearl Jam has actually had some very listenable stuff over the years. Green Day always gets trashed on by folks---they're much better than they get credit for.

    Wow. I knew RHCP had fans, but *dayum* I expected a better showing from Tool. Calling a choke-o-matic on the Toolsters right here. Too much partying the night before game time :wink:

    Pumpkins do have some very good songs. Goin' Punkins here.

    Never got into the Clash thing. Saw Alice in Chains live-----thought they were quite good, especially for a band of supposed "slackers." Tight sound, good energy. Good stuff. I'll take the minority stance----Alice in Chains gets my vote.

    It's funny because Aerosmith's early stuff isn't all alike. It's actually quite good----lots of groove for a '70s hard rock band. But once they made their comeback------all of a sudden Aerosmith was like the McDonald's of rock; they were everywhere, the music wasn't nearly as good as the old stuff, nobody seemed to have the guts to admit it. 4 or 5 albums of inferior stuff and they're winning Grammys for it. It got to be waaaaay too much.

    Is there anything you actually like? There's only been a few I haven't had a choice I liked. So far I have liked: REM Sound Garder Skynrd The Clash Def Leppard Jane's Addiction Cream The Kinks The Doors GnR Pantera U2 Bruce Springsteen ACDC Radiohead Rage STP Allman Brothers Black Sabbath Jimi Hendrix The Who Metallica Led Zeppelin The Beatles The Stones Motley Crue and a bunch of bands I love but couldn't vote for because of difficult matchups like Foo Fighters and Sonic Youth. So it would appear I have liked a lot of bands in this poll. Maybe just not many that you like. Sorry. I just saw 4 messages from you in a row where it was "I hate X" and it made me wonder....

    This is a prediction thread. Not a wishing thread. Oh in that case 81-81 total for the year. Explain how ending the season 81-81 would be good for this team in the long run.

    Welcome to the Twilight Zone, ladies & gents.

    Dang, I thought you were going to say he was going to step down as the Commissioner of MLB, then Andy MacPhail could step in! :D :cry: Selig says "we'll figure it out." LOL. Alrighty there Bud. You do that. So in 2025 the people of Milwaukee will finally be free of the "Chicagoland" blackout rule? Woot! I'll be sure and alert the media......from my wheelchair.

    I'd like to second that and also throw the 'over-rated' tag on REM. I just never understood where all the REM hype came from. And while everything from 'the Elder' on is pretty lame, 70's KISS was great. It's a shame that they've become such caricatures of themselves that no one will look at any of their music seriously again. I think of both bands as overrated. KISS though. The women. Since I'm not a real fan of either band's music----outside of a few songs from both-----gotta go with the band that attracts the most chicks.

    Agree 100%. This is about Hendry more than Baker. Honestly I can't see how Baker cares either way. He'll have a fat paycheck coming no matter what. And someone else will hand him a job when it's over with the Cubs. No skin off his back. Dusty's not putting on an act. He really is relaxed---doesn't matter to him what happens; all he has to do is sit around doing nothing and collect his paycheck. It's Hendry who can't get over himself. Hendry who assembled a stinker, trusted the franchise to players who were obviously unable to take the field on a regular schedule, then had no backup plan whatsoever once they hit the DL. Hendry who called Pagan the next Beltran & signed Nefi up again. Hendry who drained the minor leagues for players who are no longer with the ballclub. Hendry who can't accept his plan is an abject failure. Baker's junk, true. But Hendry built this dog.

    CSN+Y's favorite ump is Angel Hernandez. It's true. Swear to God.

    Dead Heat!!! What do we do if it's a tie?

    it's a valid point, but I had to get Neil Young in here somewhere, and I like CSNY better than Crazy Horse or Buffalo Springfield They weren't rock though. Some of Young's solo work was. Still, not fair to start killing off rock bands with folk acts because one of the members also had a great solo career in rock. Maiden's gettin' jobbed. No other view is possible 8)

    Since Dusty's job is now "safe," then we can only assume this is an acceptable level of performance for the Cubs. Aren't you glad Daddy raised (ehem.....enslaved....ehem) you as a Cub fan?

    Can't fire Baker, it's not his fault. After all, he doesn't have the horses. Can't fire Hendry, not his fault. There haven't been the moves available, and he's had terrible luck. Can't fire MacPhail, not his fault either. Nobody can say how difficult it is to work with the Tribune big wigs, and his primary responsibility is now to the ballpark, the community, and the company. It's not ANYONE's fault. We should keep this thing together forever. Everything's fine. Nobody's fault. No problems here. Just another sunny day @ Wrigley. ...if you believe all this....

    Genesis. Was never a fan of the Sex Pistols and their supposed "rebellion against the establishment." What establishment? The one that feeds their heroin habits? Yeah right. Not buying it. Genesis --> years & years of solid, good music.
  20. Soul
    Were CSN+Y really rock music? Iron Maiden is a fantastic group, and one of the most underappreciated of all time. I'm sure they'll get beat here, but they get my vote. S/T Killers Number of the Beast Piece of Mind Powerslave Somewhere in Time 7th Son of a 7th Son That's a pretty impressive discography over a long period of time.

    KISS.......just for the pure debauchery of it all.

    Skynyrd with the narrow lead!! Oh man tough crowd-----VH is going to bite it in the 1st round.
  23. Soul
    Dude, how could he "evaluate" the team when Dusty didn't have his "Horses" :lol: That was good.

    Well, the first time will be just that - the first time a Bear drilled any Ram. We usually just juke the Bears plodding linebackers and watch them tumble like Jenga blocks. It's good times. :D I gotta admit, the Rams under Martz were soft, but they were the greatest offense ever assembled - so it worked for them. Two trips to the Super Bowl in three years says something. Football is not all brute force of course, strategy wins. The Colts are softer though - hands down. Besides, the Rams are entering a new era and the dive to the turf to avoid the hit Rams are history now. Steven Jackson make it so. BTW, I hope I am not being viewed as trolling here, that's not my intentions. If I were I would just say Faulk > Payton but I am not that dumb. :wink: Wow, I've never heard anyone refer to Briggs or Urlacher as plodding. Me too. That's just silly. Someone is in for a dose of reality 8)

    Val Kilmer is Morrison, D00D!! No really, he's reincarnated or somethin'!! Morrison. Legend. Doors.
