Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, May 09, 2008

Rob O'Connor, Yahoo Music: "Greatest Hits" collections are a tricky bunch. Some people never had a lot of hits and get to write their history as they see fit (Nirvana, Neil Young). Others had so many hits, the collections write themselves (Elvis Presley, The Eagles, Al Green, The Beatles). Besides, there are more than 25 deserving artists. I could've compiled 200 and Yahoo Music would've found me dying at the bottom of the hamster wheel whispering "Golden Grass, Grass Roots ... Otis Redding ... Sam Cooke ... Motorhead ... Tom Waits ... Placebo ... Replacements ..."

Anthology - The Band

Great album, Cook...same with the Allman Brothers Greatest Hits or best of...whatever.

I always liked
the Least Worst Of, from Type O Negative.

The Eagles, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Doors -- how predictible.

But to make the Pre-Fab Four No. 1 is so pedestrian.

The Beatles had four chords and three songs, and reworked the same crap for years, as millions of gerbils laid down their money.

To prove the point Don Kirshner made a bar bet that he could take four buffoons with no talent and turn them into a major band -- purely through promotion and manipulating the media.

"Hey Hey we're the Monkees, and people say we monkey around ...."

Nobody in there right mind would take take this serious, No "Micheal Jackson Thriller", the greatest album of all time, what about the Bee Gees "Saturday Night Fever", The Beach Boys you can't take this serious what a sham!!!! What about SINATRA, BENNETT, MARTIN, the Beatles were the best lyrics in rock ever but the best album, NOT!!!!!!

Take some meds....you are waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy to angry almost all the time.

Best of Jon and Vangelis

Any "Best of" Mike Oldfield Album

Duran Duran Greatest Hits

Spandau Ballet Greatest Hits

Best of "Classic Rock"

Best of Chris DeBurgh

Gabor Szabo on vinyl.

Not even close, 'The Best of Jimi Hendrix Vol. #1'

Case Closed

"Gabor Szabo on vinyl.

A few years back we caught Brubeck in San Antonio.

It was beautiful.

It must be tough Zat, knowing I have a better understanding of music AND muon topography.

It'll settle,... eventually.

"muon topography"

It's spelled tomography.

There exists one detector; It's been running 13 months now.
Two in the wings as I build them.

Check Arecaeology magazine's next issue.

"Muon Archaeology

By analyzing the trajectory of high-energy particles, known as muons, archaeologists hope to create images of the interior of pyramids in Belize and Mexico.'

www.archaeology.org

Shit. i can'rt spell anymore.

No shit, man.......with moun tomography, you got me whooped, but with general topographic analysis utilizing muon rate dependency,.....

I gotcha bro, period.


Hahahahahahaa

Hahahahahahaa

I have pictures.

Had them for over a year.

Los Alamos doesn't have any pictures.

Nor does anyone else.

Night.

Post em' bro.

And I mean some of the new shit.

Here is an unknown great album:
The Everly Brothers "Songs our Daddy taught us"
Great Folk music combining music from England/Scotland/Ireland With the American Mountain slant.
I wonder if it is available in C.D.?
Yea I know...just Google it.

The Beatles were the greatest rock lyricists ever? Puh-LEAZE! Don't get me wrong; I love the Beatles, but they can't hold a candle to you-know-who.

That would be vern's choice.

You are truly an idiot, vern, as if there were any doubt. That statement is so simple-minded and just plain wrong that it could only have come from you.

I don't worship the Beatles by any means, but nobody with ANY knowledge of music (even the most rudimentary concepts of theory and harmony) would be embarassed for you.

F Rolling Stone and all of these out dated critics. GOOD GRAVY!

Someone needs to be REAL for once.

Type O Negative -

Hey Sal- Check Out their remake of the song Black Sabbath. Nativity In Black Black Sabbath Tribute.

Most of the music I loved growing-up was never played on the radio since a majority don't use guitars, drums or even hot bitches in bikini's. These anthologies are not much more than a tribute to radio success.

Derek & The Dominoes...Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
The Talking Heads...Fear of Music
ELO...Face The Music
Buffalo Springfield...A Retrospective
Led Zeppelin....I
Beatles....Abbey Road
Edgar Winter's White Trash...White Trash

"Ted Nugent?"

That would be vern's choice.

I actually lean toward Mozart and Bach. Mozart's "Concerto With Flute" and "Concerto with Clarinet" is the voice of God

Oh My! So popularity among the unwashed masses is the measure of greatness?

That means you consider McDonald's to be gourmet; a Big Mac and Super Fries is saved for Mother's Day.

"I be lovin' it!"
--miniman

As for great rock music, probably early Ike Turner, and ... revealing my Memphis bias ... early work by Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and anybody else who cut an acetate at Sun Studio ... Even Elvis before all those insipid movies.

Hey minimum, you ought to let your mom order a large shake. After all, it's her special day ... and get her extra napkins. They're free and she'll appreciate the gesture.
