BUMP! I just have to contribute to this thread! Can't help myself! I basically can't say that these songs specifically changed my life but it pretty much gave me my first exposure to some really amazing music genres like "psychedelic rock", "garage rock", "progressive rock" and "country" and made me explore the catalogues of some incredible bands and artists! 1. Purple Haze - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (my first exposure to psychedelic rock at the age 6. Thanks dad! ) 2. Seven Seas of Rhye - Queen (my first Queen song at the age of 5) 3. Jumpin' Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones (my anthem when I was about 9 years old. I used to jump and dance to it! ) 4. Guitar Boogie Shuffle - The Ventures (my first rock 'n' roll instrumental track and garage rock song when I was just 4 years old! Thanks mom! ) 5. Light My Fire - The Doors (my first love song! ) 6. Black Dog - Led Zeppelin (my first Zep song at the age 12! From then on, there was no turning back! ) 7. Funky Town - Lipps Inc (my first exposure to disco! ) 8. Let It Rock - Bon Jovi 9. Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley 10. Black Or White - Michael Jackson (my first song by MJ )

This I love "Blind Faith"

I love cartoons! Those look really cute! I also love Robert's outfit in that cartoon!

Asteroid's debut CD! "Stoner Rock" with a "Doom Metal" twist to it!!

Yikes!!! I take everything back what I said about that lobster-telephone piece! I saw the photo you posted there Magic of that piece and it looks rather hideous! Can't they put a stuffed toy of a squid on that telephone? It will sure appeal to kids and well "big kids" like me!

LOL! You sound just like my dad. He's 56 years old and he pretty much doesn't fancy anything post-1990 either! For instance, when the last "Rolling Stones" album came out in 2005 ("A Bigger Bang"), I bought it out of curiousity and to be honest, I loved it. Given the fact that my dad loves "The Stones", I thought he'll really enjoy the album. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong! He kept giving me all kinds of lame excuses saying that he is way too busy to actually listen to it and I pretty much gave up in the end! He also told me that he wanted to remember "The Stones" for who they were! My face on hearing his reply looked like this : Hell, I don't think he will even think of checking out that new album by David Gilmour! Even if Led Zeppelin was to produce new material right now, my dad will just say no! He'll probably say "Zep died, when Bonzo died". I also tried to get him to check out "Radio Moscow" who sound so much like Clapton and Hendrix (my dad's favourite guitarists of all time apart from Jimmy Page of course) and his reply was "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to listen to a kiddie band!". I guess he said that because Radio Moscow consists of members who are 20-somethings! I, on the other hand, thanks to this forum, last.fm, firmly believe that there are so many amazing bands out there these days. You just have to open your heart, mind and soul and of course do a bit of running around and literally pounce on the new stuff and try your very best to stay away from the radio which is a pretty fucked up indicator of what's actually good these days! When I find amazing new stuff (especially bands in the underground scene which very few people have heard of), I feel this sense of joy and accomplishment knowing full well that I have discovered obscure and underrated gems!

Here is my take on the list : It's really cool that Zep are #1! I certainly dig that! Now, how in the world have "The Beegees" been ranked ahead of "The Rolling Stones"? Also, don't tell me "The Beach Boys" are better than "The Who"? And how the fuck is such a lousy band like "No Doubt" even figuring on this list and they are better than "Traffic"?! Oh c'mon! Not to mention the damn "Black Eyed Peas"! What a load of shit! I usually don't tend to get into the "this band rocks, that band sucks debate", but this was just too tempting to pass up!

Well, I've decided to change my avi back to what it was originally! I love the whole psychedelic vibe of the one I posted here earlier but I do miss starring at Robert and Jimmy everytime I post something! My original avi was this : And it is staying put from now on that's for sure!!!

Woah! Fancy old James Bond being such a coward! I have never ever got what the fuss was all about as far as James Bond films are concerned and I pretty much find the whole "James Bond" concept a bit of a joke to be honest (at least Pierce Brosnan has this sophisticated air about him and has quite passable looks but Sean Connery resembles my Micro Economics professor quite a bit ) and I have even lesser respect for Sean Connery now after this little incident! The bugger sure doesn't deserve a knighthood! Sheesh!

I love "The Omen". I have parts I, II and III in DVD form! My mom and I have seen it heaps of times together! It doesn't scare me at all!

Two really cool "Stoner Rock" albums by the Swedish band "Asteroid"

This Stoner Rock Master-piece

More from "Asteroid" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfeqgSgK2ok

I highly recommend the music of the Swedish band "Asteroid". They are this really cool Stoner Rock band with 2 albums under their belt. They sound like a combination of the bands "Graveyard" and "Black Sabbath". I took the plunge and purchased both of their albums "S/T" and "II". Awesome stuff! I can't stop listening to their debut "S/T" and their second album "II" is just as good! There is a spelling error in the second vid. The song is called "The Great Unknown" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHmqOS2Jm58 If you like bands like "Graveyard", "Witch" and "Black Sabbath" or if you are a fan of "Doom Metal" or "Fuzz Rock" or whatever, you'll like "Asteroid"!

Do What You Like - Blind Faith Do right, use your head. Everybody must be fed. Get together, break your bread. Yes, together, that's what I said. Do what you like. Don't fight, use your head. It's all right every night. Do what you like, that's what I said. Everybody must be fed. Do what you like. Open your eyes. Realize you're not dead. Take a look at an open book. Do what you like, that's what I said. Do what you like.

:hysterical: Really Magic?! Sweet! I can sure use the extra cash! Well, I think before any artist unveils his work, he / she should first make a very detailed power-point presentation to all the patrons of the art gallery concerned and explain their work and how exactly they intend to swindle them with their so-called "creativity" That lobster telephone piece sounds kinda cute though! I would pay maybe NZ $1 for it but that's about it! But on the other hand, if that lobster was replaced by a squid like Squiddly Diddly or something, I might pay a lot more for that piece!

Hey there Emily! So, you're a newbie eh? Sweet! Hope you enjoy your stay at the most interesting forum on the net! Anyway, if you don't know already, I am pretty obsessed with everything 60s. The music, the MOD culture, the art, the fashion statements made by the youth those days are included in my list of my interests! So, in view of my interests, I chose my avatar! I found it thanks to google! LOL! Here's a closer look : Pretty groovy stuff in my opinion! And I love your avi too! But sadly, I ain't allowed to keep cats in my apartment because I live on the 15th floor and my mom and dad are both allergic to them!

Woah! Who in the world would buy utter crap like that for a sum above 4500 pounds? Jeez! That sculpture sounds hilarious but so un-imaginative! I guess tomorrow, I can pass off the trash can near my apartment building as a work of art and try to auction it on a site like trade me under the "arts" section?! My 60's based Zep forum avatar seems to be more artistic than that junk! Either people have A LOT of money to burn or they are just plain dumb!

:hysterical: Oh man! That was so fuckin' priceless! Thanks for the laugh mate!
