If Marcus Garvy Dies Then Marcus Garvy Lives ~ Piebald
My Mind's Got a Mind of Its Own ~ Jimmie Gilmore (covered by Phish)
Forever Longing the Golden Sunsets ~ Appleseed Cast
Crosseyed and Painless ~ Talking Heads (Second time using this one)
Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down) ~ Ween

Tophat665 02-11-2004 01:43 PM

1) Jethro Tull - And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps
2) They Might Be Giants - Youth Culture Killed My Dog
3) Frank Zappa - My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama
4) King Crimson - Lark's Tounges in Aspic
5) Led Zeppelin - What is and What Should Never Be

They Might Be Giants would each be good for about another 10 and Zappa for as many as the day is long. I mean, with gems like Latex Solar Beef and Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch, it's hard to pick just one.

Two days since the last and off the front page. Hmmm.

Top 5 Songs adapted from or otherwise about specific books (name the book too, please)

Gortexfogg 02-29-2004 09:32 AM

1. "Catskill Serenade" by David Bloomberg based off Rip Van Winkle
2. "The Hobbit Song" by Leonard Nemoy based off of The Hobbit
3. "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan based off of the Bible
4. "O Holy Night" by whoever based off of the Bible
5. "Highway 61 Revisited" by Bob Dylan based off of the Bible

Tophat665 02-29-2004 08:30 PM

ALrighty! A taker.

1. Rush - Anthem (Ayn Rand - Anthem)
2. Blue &Ouml;yster Cult - They Have Killed the Great Sun Jester (Michael Moorcock, "Von Bek and the Fireclown" in the Roads between worlds anthology.)
3. Blue &Ouml;yster Cult - Transmaniacon MC (the author escapes me, but it is a pulp sci-fi novel named Transmaniacon)
4. Counting Crows - Rain King (again, the author has slipped my mind, but the book is Henderson and the Rain King.)
5. Anthrax - Among the Living (Stephen King - The Stand)

(Edited to replace Duran Duran with Anthrax)

rockzilla 03-02-2004 10:13 AM

I've been giving this a fair bit of thought and I can't really think of that many, I may come back and edit this later though.

Rush - 2112 - (Ayn Rand - Anthem)
Tragically Hip - Courage (For Hugh Maclennan) - (Hugh Maclennan - The Watch that Ends The Night)
Mad Season - River of Deceit (Kalil Ghibran - The Prophet)

Rush - Rivendell - (more Tolkein)

Derwood 03-03-2004 07:33 PM

I can't think of anything for this one, so as the starter of this topic, I'll change the subject ;)

Top 5 great songs that are from otherwise crappy albums

You know, those songs that you buy the whole album for and never listen to the rest (at least that's what you did before filesharing). Remember, the rest of the album has to suck!

Rolling Stones - She's So Cold (Emotional Rescue)
Tears For Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love (The Seeds of Love)
Rush - Distant Early Warning (Grace Under Pressure)
Brian Adams - The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You (18 'Til I Die)

Top 5 Most Underrated Guitar Players

AND

Top 5 Most Overrated Guitar Players

I'll post mine in a bit

Derwood 03-20-2004 08:05 PM

Wow, no bites? Well here are mine:

Most Underrated:

- George Harrison
- Prince
- James Hetfield
- James "Horton" Heath
- David Gilmour

Most Overrated:

- Steve Vai
- Joe Satriani
- Yngwie Malmsteen
- Keith Richards
- Ace Frehley

Derwood 03-23-2004 06:19 AM

wow, no love for my thread anymore.

*sob*

kl0pper 03-27-2004 04:15 AM

underrated:
alan holdsworth
paul leary
duane denison
robert fripp
john fahey

overrated:
buckethead
jimmy page
frank zappa (as a guitar player)
Yngwie Malmsteen
slash

Tophat665 03-27-2004 07:52 AM

OK,
Underrated (I was thinking about this one):

1. Marc Ribot (Lead on Tom Wait's albums - check Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs.)
2. Walter Becker (The opening solo on Don't Take Me Alive is one of the best ever.)
3. Robert Fripp
4. Alex Lifeson (suffers by comparison to his bandmates)
5. Pete Townsend (best Rhythm guitarist ever)

Overrated
1. Eddie Van Halen
2. Joe Satriani (Still love his music, though)
3. Angus Young (Rated accurately as a character, overrated as a guitarist)
4. Alex Lifeson (The rest of his band elevates him. Yep - he's on both lists.)
5. Jimmy Page and Keith Richards.

Just Right
1. Zappa
2. Clapton
3. Vai
4. Malmsteen
5. SRV

No, never have. If I were a guitarist, though, I'd worry about getting beseiged by the Roman legion if I played one, though?

Quote:

OK, put him #1, leave Stevie Ray on the bottom, and knock Yngwie off. Jimi was in such a class by himself that I didn't even think of him.
