I refuse to hear bad talk of Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet. I am rage quitting this thread if that happens.

I know this much is true.

Nickleback and Rush can eat a dick.

Ironic to the point of being offensive.

What's with the Rush hate?

Just dawned on me that I just might have an aversion to Canadian rock bands lol

I know

I've always felt they were underrated in the states

**VenusInFauxFurs** · June 11th, 2011, 09:37 PM

Rush are amazing.

I will monkey out if someone mentions Foreigner or The Cars.

I'd give more credit to Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page for that. Even Dave Davies.

OMG!!! *cannot breathe* WHAT? *clutches chest* Since Derek & the Domino's??? LAYLA??????????????????????????? I.....I...I don't care if you HATE that song---its a ground breaking song, come ON.

NO. No. He was a pioneer.

I said since Derek and the Dominoes.

That wasn't a bad album, even if Layla is the most overplayed song since Stairway to Heaven, but I still say Duane Allman deserves most of the credit for making that it what it was, even the parts he didn't play. I'm judging Clapton on his regurgitated and thoroughly tepid solo output.

I'm going to add 311. They're shit.

I said SINCE Derek and the Dominoes too. Hey, you can think whatever you want, and I'm not a huge fan of his necessarily, but would never ever describe him as overrated, even though his last few CD's have sucked....
