I think you are confusing me with Archaea. He is the one that teases you.

But that's OK. That kind of mixup happens a lot at your .....errrr..... our age.

NOT acceptable: calling a song "Dueling banjos" featuring a duel between a guitar and a banjo.

Oroginally it was between two banjos. Besides, it wasn't much of a duel in the movie, as the in-bred hillbilly pretty much kicked the pretty boy's butt. Banjos rule.

The Banjo Minnow allegedly ruled, but since I dont fish, I cannot verify that rumor.

A better Duel was watching Dennis Weaver get his pretty boy's butt chased all over the place by that sadistic truck driver.

I have established that Arch is actually older than mne (but barely). As for you, I don't even want you to think about making fun of me. It was preemptive.

ANd do you know who directed Dennis and the truck to such exciting movie of the week heights? Think ET phone home.

Drew Barrymore? I thought she was busy doing drugs and drinking at that age?.....

ha...of course, it was the Master....Steven "I nailed Kate Capshaw at the height of her hotness" Spielberg.

I don't think Judge Smails truly believes that Van Halen is the greatest band ever. Where has he been during this entire discussion?

Nothing more than a shameless music troll.

Led Zeppelin is my favorite alltime.

In terms of influential, Buddy Holly ranks up there. The Beatles listed him as one of their biggest influences. I love Buddy Holly.

I think that timeframe ('87-ish) was the peak for the band, for me anyway. I've always been partial to the pre-90s U2. Plus, how can you beat the 'puffy shirts', boots and mullet.

'85...

My favorite song of all-time. Here's my favorite version.

My opinion of U2 is that their last good album was Achtung Baby. And really it's been a chore to listen to them ever since. It's too bad.

I'm trying to think if you can really argue that Led Zeppelin really got better with time. Some might say that IV was their best, but I don't think anyone really thinks the stuff after IV was their best. But I through IV, that's some good stuff.

Beatles--too much fluff. How many songs can you write about falling in love with a girl?

Some folks like Sting have long distinguished careers. I was a fan of the police back towards the end of their days, but I can't really stand Sting's music, and the Police are passable, not brilliant. So long careers don't mean much to me.
