i merely tried to include green day with top groups of the past 20 years. excuse me if you think they suck. apparently a lot of folks disagree.

i like metallica fwiw fyi.

a lot of these later groups i just stopped paying attention too. i am getting old, i dont have time for everything anymore. i miss being up on the latest tunes, my son 28, i am sure, could be more pleasing to you.....

i just cited the broadway play, as 3.0 addressed me in a haughty manner, i wanted to put him in his place the little punk

I'd say yes to two of those. IMO Linkin park blows goats.

I agree with the stop paying attention, Maybe its me getting older or that its just music now is pretty bad but I dont listen to anything past like 2000. Im only 27 and most of the stuff I listen to is alot older such as Floyd, Zep, King Crimson and others like that. Im not bashing you for your taste just didnt understand where you were coming from.

file under for what it's worth

The Beach Boys were recognized at the Grammys for their 50 years in the industry - puts them in league with the greatest I would think

Your college roommate is sadly mistaken about the ID of his teacher.. The drummer, Floyd Sneed, was from Calgary, and never stepped foot in a college classroom...He developed a unique still of playing drums, which he called L'African, and was discovered in a small nightclub by the guys who put the band together when they were walking by and swore there had to be 2 guys on drums..That night, Sneed was invited to join the group..

Today Sneed still plays the drums, but his real passion is art...He's now an accomplished artist and has works on display in many upscale art galleries in the US and Canada.

Thanks for this bit of 'shutupery' when I see my buddy next.

They recently put out Ten redux... and has some 'new' tracks on it. Well worth the purchase.

yes and yes. 'Brother' is the highlight of the new released tracks. At one point in time that song was the 'holy grail' of songs to hear them play live.
