Rock's fifth symphony?
Apologies, you came across as a dumb American. And continue to: your reading comprehension is still terrible. Too much Kerrang! 1. I'm talking about the rave music that came after Britpop, I would have thought that was clear from my asking how it 'came from Britpop'. In order for something to...- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
Well that just about sums up the whole U.S.A.'s argumental attitude. You didn't read a single word I said, indulged in a strand of unfunny self righteous humour and closed your head to anything you couldn't comprehend. Answers one by one: 1. Yes, Slipknot are influenced by Dylan. If you had...- DarkWishWall

top 100 rock songs...disgraceful
I think that was a cracking list. I would have placed 'Summertime Blues' and 'Stand By Me' much higher, but apart from that I thought it made sense. On a kind of unrelated note, here's my top 100 FAVOURITE songs (NOT MY OPINION ON THE 'BEST'): 1.Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond...- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
Even if you had listed a thousand acts that weren't influenced by it, that would be a small proportion of songwriters who have come into existance since its release, and most of that population would have been influenced by it. Anyway, you clearly don't know what you're talking about if you...- DarkWishWall

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
I hardly ever say this but the imagery of the phrase is the only way I can do justice to the amount of laughing I've just been doing: LMAO "HEART- Are we sexist? Heart is quite possibly the most influential rock band with the front MAN being a woman ever" This must be the most...- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
What?!! It has influenced popular music in it's entirety since it's release, just has those other albums have. The Who are a hugely influential and important band but I don't think they have one particular song that stands out completely except My Generation, which is extremely considerable for...- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
There's nothing wrong with the list, most of those are great songs. But I was asking what the most influential, important and enormous piece of rock music ever. Hardly superlatives you could attach to any of those songs except House Of The Rising Sun.- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
I was waiting for someone to be pedantic. Of course rock's not going to be forgotten any time soon but neither was classical 200 years ago! Nobody mentioned that classical isn't even dead yet either, but never mind. Also, the phrase 'fifth symphony' was maybe a little more metaphorical than you...- DarkWishWall

Rock's fifth symphony?
I was listening to 'Born To Run' whilst waiting for a bus the other day and the title track came on and I thought 'Wow, this really is rock's fifth symphony'. In case you aren't familiar with the fifth, it isn't necessarily the BEST piece of classical music, but just has the most mythical...- DarkWishWall

Your 10 Favourite Bob Dylan Songs
Yeah, I saw him live last year and spent the whole gig trying to figure out whether he was just having one of his days where he sings strangely on purpose, or whether his voice had actually gone. I decided that the latter happened so he decided to adopt the former as a fail safe policy! I could...- DarkWishWall

Your 10 Favourite Bob Dylan Songs
You're missing the point of Dylan. YES his voice is unattractive, but he isn't using it in the same way most other vocalists do. That's what makes him so interesting - he's a poet who happens to write songs. He's effectively singing poetry, which gives it a whole new dimension. The tone of words...- DarkWishWall

Mike Love, True Genius of the Beach Boys!!!
For me, to understand the quality of the songwriting you really have to listen to the songs really carefully, listen to everything that's going on in them at once. Just buy Pet Sounds or SMiLE, they are the best examples but I would also second Martin Q. Blank's recommendations, all classic...- DarkWishWall

Mike Love, True Genius of the Beach Boys!!!
Hang on, ok I think we've got mixed up (probably my fault) between songwriting and lyric writing, and between Brian and Mike. Brian is one of the most innovative writers of the twentieth century, but as for the lyrics, I don't see them as anything more than plain moronic to be honest. Sure, that...- DarkWishWall

When I saw the Beach Boys last year (Just him and Bruce Johnson remained) he was doing this big talk and kept mentioning 'my cousin Brian' and some deranged fan shouted 'What did you do to Brian?!!?' and he shut the fcuk up for about thirty seconds and looked a bit pissed off/upset.

At first it seemed like sarcasm and then it became far more terrrible.

If I get carried away with this thread I may suffer some kind of heart disorder, so I'll just say that you're all terribly wrong! And Mike Love is a strong candidate for being the biggest ******* the world has ever seen. Read Brian's autobiography, which Love has admitted is 100% true.- DarkWishWall

Most underrated rock band of all time?
My vote goes to Enuff Z'Nuff. They're a Chicago poppy rock group that have been going a good twenty years now, with an amazing guitarist, Derek Frigo (Who sadly passed away a couple of years ago). These guys shoul be rich but for some reason they never broke through. I repect them even more for...- DarkWishWall
