Different sites have different years for Gen Xers.
I don’t give a rip what anyone says, I am Gen X all the way.
Sorry, it’s not your time yet.
And some of us (DOB 4/9/48) were part of that generation but chose to experience it in a different manner - like enlisting in the Regular Army at the tail end of '68 - with all the appurtenant benefits that obtained in that era.
Don’t for a second think that I include you in my “baby boomers” comment. I don’t.
There is a significant difference between the quality of people that post on FR.....that transcend their generations.
I always speak in terms of generalities....the plurality of the group. Which, is essentially a bunch of worm food. As I’m sure you’ll agree. :P
I enlisted the day ground war started in the gulf. So we’re speaking the same language. No insult intended.
They may not have violated any copyright with that remake...but they still committed a musical crime. The original is so much better.
You didn’t quote the part that says “because...”.
BTW, thanks for your service at a very difficult and well-advertised time in America.
And on that note, this thread needs a cross-post to the viral a capella Gotta Love Millenials music vid, done to tune of the Beatles’ Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da:
Funny stuff!
What? Are you insane?
I agree...the original had it’s own feeling. But this was a cover. With it’s own flavor. I think they put the song just where it needed to be....because Phil Collins sure as hell can’t be controversial.
:P
Ok, that’s kinda funny.
I think some of you Cthulhu supporters might understand where I’m coming from now.
Even Paul Simon admitted it rocked.
I prefer it to sound angry, as it should have in the first place, not whiny.
:)
While we’re on Genesis, my other favorite baby faced psycho:

Amazing how music ties people together...isn’t it?
I know we all share the same views. Sometimes we just need to consolidate them to realize what needs to happen.
I wasn’t happy about it when he started. But the alternatives are shit sammiches on turd bread.
We gotta get Trump in.
Oh, god....once he’s in. He’s gonna shred Shillary.
It’s gonna be beautiful.
Trust your Generation X heavy metal lover that has no hair on top of his head......because it’s all fallen to become fur on my chest and back (according to my nephews).
I would have long hair if I could. But it’s on my back now.
Not a bad tune, but not exactly what I was thinking of of in terms of the counter-counter culture theme of heavy metal.....
Wreck as in ruin, destroy, make unlistenable? Then I would agree. They destroyed the beauty of the music
The original was infinitely better.
But then I’m not much into remakes at all. (Very few of them ever measure up to the original.) If you have talent you can do your own music. No need to mess with something that has already been done.
I have enough hair on my head for the both of us.
Rock on.
Go Trump!
You said controversial.
When that video first hit MTV, everybody was like “WTF, Phil!!”
:D
