CCR was great. They're not Southern rock, either, though. They're from Oakland, California! Okay, so maybe style is what counts, but I think of them more as Americana...like Violent Femmes or the Doobie Brothers, it was really a combination of American folk, country and rock.

Infanticide is your friend. ;)

^ I'm on it!

Good call on the football songs too.

Football games killed "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones for me.

You missed the best soccer song. And one of the great songs of the Britpop era.

American football songs never explicitly refer to football. I guess you could say they're more arena rock and classic rock than anything else. I hate them as much as anyone else. Some examples:

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400
Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

They suck, and yeah.

I love Mike Myers when he has to start talking again, and even when they cut to Chris Tucker, even Smokey is like, "damn your crazy"



Awesome; But seriously give a Black Man a chance.



He's so creative.

There seems to be a new found love-fest for all things vinyl over the past couple of year.

Count me out please.

Frankly I was glad to see the back of it. When I first started working part time as a kid in the late 80s CD's cost double , sometimes almost triple what it cost to buy the same album on vinyl , so naturally with my minimal part time schoolboy wages buying CDs wasn't an option. I could have bought cassettes but they got lost & chewed up easily so vinyl I was forced with for a few years. They were big , bulky , impractical and sounded like shit after a few months of being exposed to a teenaged me.
As far as I was concerned getting my first CD player (In 1991) couldn't come quick enough and when I did all my vinyl was quickly shut away in my parents shed where it remained for the next 16 years untouched before being thrown away. That's just how much I missed it.
Music should be heard and quite honestly i'd take CDs or MP3s over vinyl anyday. I don't buy this argument that somehow buying a vinyl copy makes it more authentic. I want music in a format where I can listen to it with ease whenever I please , I don't buy it to make it look pretty sitting on a shelf.
It's been said that vinyl has a superior sound quality than a CD. Well , I've been having my eardrums assaulted by Motorhead since the age of 5 , it makes absolutley no difference to me whatsoever.
Vinyl - Nice to look at , but for me totally useless and outdated.

Some things sound better on vinyl, like jazz.

How many indie kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?





























Hey I have that joke on vinyl!

My vinyl collection pretty much only consists albums that were only released on vinyl. I'm thinking that makes it worse...

Hahaha I love this thread so much..... Cant really find fault with too many of the posts yet......
