Um.
I like Norah Jones's voice.
For some reason, when I hear her sing, she gets me all hot and bothered.

In true punk rock fashion, Green Day tested the censors at the Grammy Awards on Sunday _ and the censors were ready. The Bay Area rockers, on a career high with their "American Idiot" album, added a shot of rock 'n' roll adrenaline by performing the title cut. The disc won the Grammy for best rock album.
The song includes a prominent obscenity in one of the lyrics, but the censors were plainly prepared and neatly excised the word. They couldn't delete, however, singer Billie Joe Armstrong's pointed political reference to not wanting to be part of a redneck agenda.
Green Day was energetic and confident, a band that's grown up but hasn't left its punk roots behind: witness the smoothly practiced leap and landing from the riser by drummer Tre Cool. And Armstrong was a live wire.
By the way, what's up with trios that expand to quartets onstage but pretend the other member doesn't exist? At least the camera operators didn't completely ignore the mysterious fourth member on guitar.
From what I have heard of the "so called music of today", these poor idiots have no talent,
That's why when you have people with a little talent, like Norah Jones, she becomes a national phenomenom even though I can find piano playing female jazz singers as good or better in bars here in Atlanta.
Who is Norah Jones? Don't you have a better defence than that? The 2005 music stinks, and so do the artists, if you can call them that????
Joss Stone and Toby Keith are about the only artists I'll spend my money on these days. The only Green Day song I ever like was "Time of your life".
OMG !! I was a fixture on the dance floor late '77-'79 - while Chic was popular - we even did The Freak ! Whenever Le Freak would come on everybody just headed for the elevated dance floor (unless they were already there ) - you had to get there quick or there was no room left. The music they played - funk and all that - I wish I could go back to those days. We had way more fun than I see in the bars today and all we did was drink and dance the night away. Lord did we have a blast !!!
I hate Springsteen's politics as much as anybody here but his place in rock music cannot be denied
I like some of his music too, however when he decided to be political, and the wrong way, I dislike him and his music, very much. To all artists out there, keep it to yourself, I don't care to hear about your politics, just shut up. Or else, I will not pay any attention to you.
I think a lot of recording artists are sheltered and naive and thus they get easily sucked into the liberal mindset because it appears "cool" and "anti-establishment."
I think some may be naive, but most know damn well how good they have it, and they aren't gonna give it up. As Michael Medved has pointed out, our entertainment stars live like royalty and tyrants, bossing people around, having people fawn at their feet. It's why they relate more to tyrants than to Republicans: Tyrants want to hold people down, whereas Republicans want maximum freedom for individuals.
Springsteen sounds like he needs a laxative when he sings.
CHIC is recognized as the best "real" band from the Disco Era. Nile Rodgers guitar rifts and Bernard's bass guitar are still legendary. You can imagine how the pentagon crowd was digging their music at the ball. The in-patients at our ball (over 150+) were digging them live, even dancing in wheelchairs, a real special evening.
The most overrated rock star of all time.
Really....other than "Dancing in the Dark" I can think of nothing memorial nor even very melodic.
Ok...I've got to admit this. While I do not like the lyrics to the song at all, I really like the melody to "American Idiot."

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest)
Yeah... Notice that when Clinton was in office, they were singing about being high on drugs in their room masturbating, i.e., not paying any attention whatsoever to politics. Now that Bush is in office, of course they are politically aware, and know better than the President and 62+ million voters. Their leftist polticking in this album is pathetic.
San Francisco, if I'm not mistaken.
I know that alot of people thought that disco sucked, but the music I danced to wasn't so much disco as it was funk. We did love the Bee Gees, but there was also Parliment, Cameo, Lakeside, Brick, Sugarhill Gang, Rick James, Barkays, Prince - just music that you couldn't stay sitting down, you had to get up and dance. I'm glad I was from that era.
Maybe you are having an acid flashback? ;) FYI, Nora Jones is the daughter of Ravi Shankar
Hmmmm......1973
Hey....you're right!
close, but you mean 1982.

Not my quote. Post the rest of it, if you want to talk about it.
