Dan And the only Stones mention isn't necessarily a negative one


#46 DECENCY

In 1967, the Rolling Stones were forced to change the lyrics of a not particularly salacious song to protect the tender sensibilities of the American television-viewing public. Thirty-nine years and one stray Super Bowl breast later, the Rolling Stones are forced to change the lyrics of a not particularly salacious song to protect the tender sensibilities of the American television-viewing public. Viva progress!

sirmoonie By far, the Eagles were the worst thing to ever happen to music.

pdog Being sung an Eagles song by someone you love and respect is far worse than anything I can ever decribe. It's almost as bad as seeing a Jagger hater to a dead on Jagger impersonation.

FotiniD There's also a Stones reference on their list of 50 Most Awesomely Dead Rock Stars:

Brian Jones
1942-1969
Weird, druggy Rolling Stones guitarist

Cause of Death: Drowned in his swimming pool
Drop-Dead Jam: 'Sympathy... Devil'
Sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll

This Could Be the Last Time: Lewis Brian Hopkins-Jones founded the Rolling Stones and steered them into their weirdest territories, but by early June 1969, the original junkie rock star was enough of a drug casualty that they booted him. A month later he was dead, and the supposed mystery of his youthful demise has continued to make him considerably more famous than, say, living ex-Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor.

Baby, You're out of Time: The 2005 British biopic Stoned depicted Jones's death as a murder-but even if he's exhumed, as one former girlfriend has suggested, it's past the point where anyone but his fan club could care.

Time Wasn't on His Side: Jones's songwriting contribution to the Stones was minimal (a handful of co-written non-hits), and they shrugged off his influence after ditching him. His most significant musical legacy may be helping to invent the "world music" concept by producing The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka, a recording of Moroccan musicians issued in 1971-or maybe having the Brian Jonestown Massacre named after him.

gimmekeef Worst thing in music....two words:

Celine Dion......
11th May 2006 11:01 AM
glencar Rap/Hip Hop is the worst thing to happen. One or three good songs isn't enough to make up for the sonic dissonance of that shit.

That wasn't MTV..but I actually liked that one,,those were either from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert or from some promos they did in England(we arfe seeing them all now on Youth Tube). The MTV videos were more like SMU, Harlem Schuffle, One Hit, Out of tears, Love is Strong(not bad), Anybody Seen My baby(the not so famous then Angeline Jolie), etc..
