John Mellancamp (is that how it's spelled?) - Jack & Diane. More on the "classic rock" side.
Or, if you're going way off the deep end, put on a scary black wig, crank your guitar past the safe zone, scream into the microphone, and pretend you're Steven Tyler. :eek: |

Why not call him up and ask him what they know or something? |

My Sharona (jeebuz, I think I could even play that!)
Love in Vain (Stones covered it, but that might be four or five chords)
Boogie Chillen (John Lee Hooker is classic, right? Isn't that only one-chord?)
Ooh!
Johnny B. Goode! |

Ultimate Guitar Tabs Archive. 200,000+ Guitar Tabs, etc.... This is where I get all kindsa stuff that I am not talented enough to play! They've got everything, almost.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/
Looking at the list again... If you wanna be weird, put on an orange mullet wig, some leotard, and do Ziggy! (Stardust, not Marley) Ziggy went too far, but man, could he play Guitar! Or fall black into old Punk. Ramones!
"If you play more than three chords, you are just showing off!"
GangGreen, Samhain, Circle Jerks, Butthole Surfers, Holymen, Minutemen, Vasco de Gama, Echo & the Bunny-men. Good names, crappy bands. |

I must have a few years on you I guess. |

It's not just you Jason. Let me start out with the only defense I've found. There are only two punk bands that're good, Misfits, and Ramones(both from the 70's). The only good rap song is Rappers Delight which is also from the seventies.
Now to my point; The punk today... is not punk. The Rap today, is not music. It's poetry to a beat probably created by pre school children pressing random buttons. Not music.
Zappa... now THAT'S music! |

Actually, I have heard some "punk" musicians who have a lot of talent. I don't care at all for the voices or the lyrics, which do make me want to bang my head against the wall, while imagining myself as an angry 12-year old boy trapped in an older body...
I'm rapidly closing on 30, and even I can appreciate that most music these days sucks. Country, which I grew up on, isn't the same these days. When the top 5 a few weeks ago included Keith Urban (Australian pop-country), a horrible song from some red-neck wanna-be, and #1 was by Bon Jovi...let's just say that it's lost something in recent years.
Moreover, the "pop/soft rock" genre of the 80's and 90's is gone, replaced by cheasy teenage drama queens in slutty clothing pretending to be able to sing. Whatever happened to Gloria Estefan and Peter Cetera?
Hey, Al, back on topic, how about something from Chicago? |

And could find NOTHING worth listening to. Finally settled on the Country station. That bad! What happened to the Rock-n-Roll Legacy that we wanted to leave the next generation?
Uriah Heap - The Wizard's Birthday,(album) any song.
Bad Company
Tom Petty (pinch yer nose)
Hope you've decided something. Saturday's comin' quick! |
