    Who do they replace?
    The Doors and the Animals.

    tbh, I have a hard time with ZZ Top being on the list with the they ended up putting out. Would be nice to see them close their careers on a better note.

    One Direction would run the 4 x 100 relay much faster than anyone on that list.
    Ain't it cool to be able to run down every college 4x1 (if they had the sprinters) and do music also?

    Also, I would add Deep Purple.

    pit bulls are ugly dogs and should be shot on sight.

    Seriously? Not the "ugly" part...that's pretty subjective. But you would really shoot a dog based solely on its looks?

    You really think they made the impact those I mentioned did?

    I think they made as big an impact in their genre as the Animals or CCR did. In fact, one could argue they made a bigger impact than Zepplin (which was really just an extension of previous music). Deep Purple were innovators.

    the issue with music is that in the 60s and 70s it was synonymous with popular technology of the day. amplifiers, wah wah pedals, synthesizers, etc.

    nerds flocked to that . really smart people...some of the best rock bands like pink floyd met while in school and decided to drop out to mess with the tech.

    after that, with the advent of computers, the focus shifted away from music and to the PC. now instead of garage bands you had nerds building computers in their garages and starting software companies.

    music then sucked because dumbasses in it for the fame took over and let the record companies push them around. intelligent people stopped making music because they had other means to keep their minds occupied.

    History has proven that that breed of dog is too dangerous. There is a reason they are called Pit Bulls. With all the different breeds out there do we really need a....Pit Bull?

    I like it.

    There was also a harder life style for many who made music. Hard times make great music.

    Your statement is striking close to some of Hitler's reasoning and propaganda. Was it intentional?

    Anyway we could spend pages debating Pits. Sadly, they are a breed that has become misused and mistreated over the years. Probably much of it due to being stereotyped as "that dog". I have there pits. And I also just realized my avatar is quite counter productive to my argument. Probably will change that.

    The facts are the facts, look at what breed of dog is involved in the most violence towards humans. Trust me you see a pit bull standing in your yard you are very concerned as opposed to any other stray dog.

    Funny how you figured this out, it was so complex

    Yep what band/artist today would replace one of those on my list?
    Not complex, so stop passing yourself off as a thinker, because, while simple in theory, it's ing re ed in actuality. Even if there were bands with the talent, innovation, and vision as those listed, the fact none are successful or popular means they are inadequate "replacements" in reality, because the greatest aspect about the iconic bands in question was their far-reaching influence. No modern band measures up, so it is actually quite simple.

    Yes, I've heard that quoted a bunch. But what isn't taken into account all of the "mutts" that run lose across the U.S. These are mixed breed dogs that either 1) don't get categorized or 2) get categorized into whatever the victim identifies the dog as. If you take the attacks by these mixed breed dogs, they grossly overshadow any pit bull attacks on humans. My point being, that it's uncontrolled dogs and dogs that run loose that hurt people. And in some cities, a large number of these dogs happen to be pit bulls. But if you look in other, more rural areas, it's different breeds, with the majority of them being mixed.

    Sorry man but pit bulls are simply more trouble than they are worth. Yes they have caused alot of trouble over the years. Stats don't lie!

    No modern band measure up because the people that appreciate that kind of music don't drive the market. At some point, bands have to make money and survive and with the market being run and dominated by "manufatured" music, it's harder and harder for an organic band to make it. Some have decent success but unfortunately "they" dictate that the easiest formula is to just have some good looking kids, autotune their voices, throw in some electric drums, get someone else to write the music, and then feed it to the masses. There are probably thousands of great debut albums but they never make enough money for the artist to stick it out. So either sell out or be content making your money from a living made by touring.

    Totally agree.

    Like everything else, we no longer get the real deal.

    This song from Porcupine Tree hit the nail on the head. Ironically, it's one of their more pop friendly tunes.



    Hear the sound of music
    Drifting in the aisles
    Elevator prozac
    Stretching on for miles

    The music of the future
    Will not entertain
    It's only meant to repress
    And neutralise your brain

    Soul gets squeezed out
    Edges get blunt
    Demographic
    Gives what you want

    One of the wonders of the world is going down
    It's going down I know
    It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
    No-one cares enough

    Now the sound of music
    Comes in silver pills
    Engineered to suit you
    Building cheaper thrills

    The music of rebellion
    Makes you wanna rage
    But it's made by millionaires
    Who are nearly twice your age

    Soul gets squeezed out
    Edges get blunt
    Demographic
    Gives what you want

    One of the wonders of the world is going down
    It's going down I know
    It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
    No-one cares enough

    I'm not really in the mood to go Google a bunch of stuff about pit bulls. We all know their history.

    I'm not talking about your dogs, I'm talking about the breed. I'm also talking about all those who own that dog because it's badass. How many times have we seen the young dude walking his pit trying as hard as he can to...we bad we bad?

    Well, you kind of made my point. A big part of the problem is the owners. But you can say the same thing about guns. Do you think guns should be outlawed? I think the better solution is to do away with idiots. Or at least reduce their rights and privileges to something that they can handle.
