@riffblaster:
i'll take Rory Gallagher any day of the week over Clapton.
Now yer talkin' !
-
Heath Ledger was worse than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, it literally could not have been any worse.
Superman Returns is a great fucking movie.
Ah-Ha are the perfect pop band.
Star Trek over Star Wars, and BSG over both of them.
Fuck you and good night
-
I love Van Hagar. There you go.
-
^couldnt agree more 5150 was so good
"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"
-
Ah-Ha are the perfect pop band.
I think that their Bond theme, "The Living Daylights" is one of the best ever.
Star Trek over Star Wars, and BSG over both of them.
Star Wars is the original trilogy only. Everything after that is shit. Star Trek is hit (Next Gen, many of the movies) and miss (Enterprise, Voyager, DS9, original series). BSG is extraordinary.

I hate moc toes on boots. Put that with a wedge sole and you have the ugliest boot on earth.
-
The living daylights was Duran Duran. Simple minds gets my vote for best pop band though pop is far from my favorite genre
-
I'll take the bait on the Clapton topic (and yeah, I know this isn't a music thread, but fuck it).
If Clapton had died after Cream, I'm pretty sure he would have remained forever in "legend" status. His stuff with John Mayal, Yardbirds and Cream was real pioneering stuff; along with Townshend and Beck he really pioneered the fat humbucker-through-Marshall sound. (Then Hendrix came and took it to a whole new level).
Problem is that EC undid a lot of his reputation by spewing out reams and reams of crap music from about 1970 onwards.
I dunno whether he's over rated or not, but without his influence the next generation of rock and metal would have been quite different.
By the way, I reckon Brian May's hair is cool. Go the Poodle Head!!
Cheers

Speaking of, I absolutely loathe the turned up toe on Vibergs
The reason why I didn't say that in this thread is because I doubt it's an unpopular opinion hahaha.

This:
I love the sport of cycling. I love the Tour de France. I've been racing bicycles in some form (BMX, Road, Mountain, and Track) since I was eight years old and I'm forty-five now. The sport's shady past has me thinking about what might be an unpopular opinion on this board. I have a hard time believing Froome's dominance is not enhanced by PEDs.
There, I said it!

Growing up, I swam for my neighborhood pool's swim team and ran on the track team in Jr and Sr High. I love swimming and running and followed the sports at the top level for years. Over that time, I've come to three conclusions, all of which are sad and a bit cynical. 1) Doping is common and usually better than the testing to catch it. 2) The sports with the best, most extensive, testing programs are paradoxically the ones with the worst reputations for drug use. 3) If people want to jeopardize their long term health for short term competitive advantage, I say let them; just stop the losing battle and allow PEDs.
I also think we should pay collegiate athletes and allow them to get degrees in things like "football" and "basketball".
