Play some Devo to get revenge.

I was watching the movie and applauded when the baby exploded. Otherwise, pretty dull, although I was expecting much worse.

See, I like Bad Religion, I just don't pursue that likeness. One of those bands I can listen to any of their songs, but I just don't have the urge to listen to them.

The (International) Noise Conspiracy and Outkast

Faithless ; "Mass Destruction" Pearl Jam ; "Jeremy"

Top 5 Bands (Not on a personal level) 1. The Beatles 2. The Rolling Stones 3. Led Zeppelin 4. The Clash 5. RUN-DMC Any combination of the 5 would do. If you want to look at the bands who have released the best quality, influenced the most amount of people and managed to change the way we listen and view popular music, than these 5. Heck, that is missing some of the biggest like Buddy Holly, Elvis, Rick James, Chuch Berry, New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, the list goes on and on. My personal top 5. 1. Refused/International Noise Conspiracy 2. Beastie Boys 3. The Clash 4. Operation Ivy 5. Outkast But of course, that isn't including lots and lots of my favorites.

1. "London Calling" by the Clash. Punk rock anthem that changed the face of rock music. 2. "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones. I was at a Green Day concert. This song came on inbetween sets. Everyone in the arena was singing along. Any song that can unite thousands and thousands of people, is good. 3. "Fight For Your Right (To Party)" by the Beastie Boys. Change the identity of rap music for years to come. 4. "Body Movin'" by the Beastie Boys. A personal favorite that is perhaps one of the most well put together rap, hip-hop, dance songs ever. 5. "Whip It" by Devo. New wave never, ever sounded better than Devo. And so, I choose their best song. 6. "Light My Fire" by the Doors. Jim Morrison is a god. This is a classic song that should be remembered for years to come. 7. "Mass Destruction [REMIX]" by Faithless. Okay, this is defintely a personal inclusion. But Faithless has been around along time and this is IMO their best song. 8. "Willie The Pimp" by Frank Zappa. Zappa is God; and he can make a song about a Pimp last 9 minutes and still be absolutely amazing. 9. "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" by Jay-Z. One of the best hip-hop songs recorded in the last 5 years. Jay-Z opens his heart and we all feel it. 10. "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull. A classic that doesn't need much of an explanation. 11. "Superstar Pt. Zero" by K-OS. Still very unknown for the talent he has; he deserves to be known because he can do amazing things for hip-hop. 12. "Lola" by Kinks. Simplistic, fun and a song about cross-dressers. Nothing more is needed. 13. "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin. I never liked Stairway. And, besides P.Diddy shitting on the song, this is a perfect song. 14. "Trash" by the New York Dolls. Punk before punk, so I chose the song I like most by them. Plus they cross-dress. 15. "Unity" by Operation Ivy. The ground-work for Rancid, who would lead Epitaph labels (alongside Offspring) to a near mainstream status gaining a cult following. 16. "Ms. Jackson" by Outkast. 17. "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" by Primus. The best song by Primus, who has one of the most amazing bass guitarist in the world, setting the bar. 18. "New Noise" by Refused. Quite bluntly, the most important punk-rock song recorded in years. "Can I scream?" 19. "Ghost Town" by the Specials. Real ska and it is real good. 20. "Dry Your Eyes" by the Streets. Does anyone else realize that this is perhaps one of the most well-written and performed songs in years? This is what Emo should sound like.

... you have to be kidding me. The fact of the matter is a lot of the bands are only on that list because of timing. Hell, in twenty years we will have forgot Foo Fighters, Slipknot, System of a Down. Doesn't it speak volumes when a band's like the Doors who are still relevant despite the fact they haven't put out a record in a couple of decades? Whereas Slipknot is basically old news, with the kids who were wearing Slipknot shirts have hung them in their closet and suddenly gotten out skateboards and Good Charlotte shirts? Heck, I love a band like Rancid, but they do not belong on a top hundred list, in any way shape or form. They haven't done anything to deserve a spot in the top hundred. What has Slipknot done to deserve a spot in the top hundred? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. Lets add to the fact, as someone has already said, they was clearly a shunning of rap and hip hop music. Maybe someone should try to make a couple of lists. One for the 60's, one for the 70's, one for the 80's, one for the 90's and one for the 00's. Makes more sense, because than you wouldn't have kids voting for bands that have only been around for the last two years.

Chill out? I made a blunt post that didn't beat around the bush and stated my opinion.

I won't waste my breath complaining about all of the wrongs commited by the list, like the fact that a shitty metal act like Slipknot who belong 6 feet under placed higher than the legends of Punk Rock (the Clash), but I will say this : How did Refused not to make it to the top ten when you have no talented pieces of shit like Foo Fighters with Dave "I'm overrated because Kurt shot himself" Grohl on this list? Oh right, because the general population is a collaboration of idiots.

1. Refused 2. The (International) Noise Conspiracy 3. The Clash 4. Beastie Boys 5. The Doors 6. The Dead Kennedys 7. Junior Senior 8. Operation Ivy 9. Primus 10. Bikini Kill 11. Pansy Division 12. Hot Hot Heat 13. The Specials 14. Led Zeppelin 15. Devo 16. Black Flag 17. Outkast 18. Agnostic Front 19. At The Drive In 20. Crass That is an interesting compilation of bands.

My Gaydar tells me it is Mr. Smithers and someone else. The Simpsons like to swerve us, but I don't see it being something where it totally unbelievable.

At least the Clash made the list. I think the Strokes should be executed for my enjoyment. You can't get anymore trite than the Strokes and the only bit of enjoyment I'd get from the over rated shit would be a full-out execution.

Doesn't anyone else find it funny that someone stated in this thread : "Fuck, I want to rip open these people's heads and see if they really do have shits for brains." I mean, really, do you think that is really helping or HURTING your point? The later. The thing that caught me off-guard was the fact that he invited the kid to go with him. Correct me if I am wrong, but is Manhunt the game where you have to sneak up on an opponent? Kind of an unrelated observation.

I mean, if AR wants I can go and look for every band on those compilations and make a list of all of the political songs they have ever done, because I am sure it would be a lot more than AR would lead you to believe.

Yes, because Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy) has never, ever cared about politics. Funny thing also, Operation Ivy recorded their song called Unity, oh, I'd say about 15 years ago! But of course, being political is only a fad and Dennis Lyxen, Refused & International Noise Conspiracy hasn't been writing about politics since he started writing in 1993. Right, but I guess you knew that already when you said most of the bands on those albums [Like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte who obviously were included on the discs since you said they were] really didn't care about politics, they were just being hip. Especially Bad Religion who has never attacked politicians in their entire career! I mean, you would never make ignorant misguided comments, would you?

PoppyPete has a better ring.

I'll throw Dennis Lyxen into the pool of great political writers. Not only does he back up his views using extensive proof in the linear notes, books and web-sites, but you get the impression when he sings that he believes in what he is saying. Whether it be about sexuality, communism, politicians, anarchy, you get the impression he is well-informed on the issues and thoroughly believes in what he is saying.

Apple, I guess you could look at it from that perspective. I just don't see Flogging Molly is a political band, more an Irish Drinking band. But that is just useless stereotypes and the such. And I agree with whoever said lets rock against Politics. I think a lot of the songs will simply be rock against Politics, but they just sold their songs towards a cause they believed in. And just because they don't support Bush, doesn't mean they support Kerry (see The (International)Noise Conspiracy who has trashed the neo-Liberals before).

Justin Timberlake is my musical vice. I have his CD's, have all of his remixes, duets, everything. I think he is a superb pop-star and soon will take the crown of the King of Pop away from Michael Jackson.

According to this list : some people need a labotomy!

Tyrannosaurus Hives by your New Favorite Band

Good in some places, shitty in others. I like RATM, AC/DC, Queens of the Stone Age, but bands like Nirvana, Static X, Silverchair really bring the CD down. So, as a whole I'll give this album 5.5/10. But it has potential. 1. Willie the Pimp by Frank Zappa 2. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin 3. Tannhauser Derive by Refused 4. Poetry Written in Gasoline by Refused 5. Worm of the Senses/Faculties of the Mind by Refused 6. Rock, Paper Scissors by Dillinger Escape Plan 7. Sharks and Danger by Alexisonfire 8. The End by The Doors

Because they had a lot to be pissed about in Britian in '77. This CD is much, MUCH better than the other one. Probably some pretenious music fans won't like it, but it is a stacked punk rock compilation. Green Day, Operation Ivy, Bad Religion, DKM, Flogging Molly, Rancid, Bouncing Souls, The (International) Noise Conspiracy... but really, only a few of those bands should be included on a CD where it is talking about politics. I mean, Drunken Lullabies isn't a political song...

If a band has been around twenty years, as opposed to one, it shows their music is timeless and they can evolve and stay with the times. The reason I'd place someone like the Pogues ahead of bands like Billy Talent is because twenty years from now people will listen to the Pogues. They won't listen to Billy Talent. They are flavor of the month; The Pogues have proved to be timeless classics. For example, three years ago I listened to the Ramones and Good Charlotte. Now I listen to the Ramones, but I don't like Good Charlotte. The Ramones will always last. I love a band like Motion City Soundtrack, but next year I won't be listening to them.
