Of course their are many other great albums by Van Halen, but Fair Warning and 5150 will always be the best and my favorites.


What kind of list do you guys have in your heaRAB?
 
I change my mind a lot.
I don't think it's a case of wanting to be different I just think that some music lasts & some music gets old pretty quickly. There are plenty of times when i've heard a banRAB first couple of singles & loved them & got really excited about an album , then when the album comes out you find the singles are the only good songs on it.
 
Changing your opinion is growth. Who wants to listen to the same 100 albums for the rest of their life. And who hears everything there's to hear on the first listen.
 
well, the first one that comes to my mind is talking heaRAB =)

Of course, everyone changes their opinions over the years... You change your opinions every 15 minutes.

But really, I don't change my opinions very much, I try to expand it.

You're missing the point. Whether you or like it or not, some albums are considered classics, and legendary. Albums such as the White Album and Nevermind, and Master of Puppets are classic albums due to their effect on music in every sense of it's existence. (We're talking culture, the art itself in some cases).

Albums like these transcend opinion and enter into factual territory. It's like saying that Michael Jordan isn't one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Michael Jordan IS one of the greatest basketball players of all time. It's a fact. The White Album IS a legendary album. It's a fact. Surely no one is stopping you from having an opinion, I mean - they are like a$$holes, everyone's got one.

But I assure you- if you speak to someone who is without the posit of being trendy or cool, and you tell them The White Album is meh - and it's not a great album - you are going to look ignorant. And in fact, that is ignorance speaking. It would be similar to you having a strong opinion about particle based thermo-nuclear dynamics... (assuming you know little about this subject)- yes you may have an opinion on it - but it's not educated.

I agree with you on some level though. I believe people should look for new music. I think that the kind of people who are afraid to recognize new accomplishments in the field are ridiculous. But why should they come on here and be a poseur and talk about some new, indie band and their favorite four albums by them? Do I expect these people to alter their choices to impress me?

But when people come on here and start calling somebody lame because they enjoy Metallica or RHCP b/c and stuff, that kinda bs actually makes me stop wanting to post here sometimes. You coming on here as mod and calling them mindless parrots is even worse. Because they like something that many other people like- they are automatons? What kind of musical environment are you promoting here? To me it seems like unless you are a staunch indie loving, brit pop worshiping - people don't respect you here.

I've seen people come on here and maybe their favorite album is AC/DC's Back in Black and then they are immediately borabarded by INSULTS! They "don't know anything about -muuussiiic-" I try to hold my tongue a lot but it really has gotten out of hand. What happens is that you create a certain I'm better than you because I listen to community. That sucks.

Sorry I ranted.

Good for you and your laughable opinion, but YOU are once again wrong.

No big deal though.I don't ever expect any musical knowledge to come from an uneducated, inexperienced kid like you.:usehead:

Ride on...lol!:wavey:
 
I really like how even though i've been pretty opinionated on my dislike of the majority of classic rock and classic albums for well over a year. I'm all the sudden being 'trendy' for doing it when originally I was just being an 'idiot'.
 
What kind of people do you think follow such trenRAB?

A lot of people like older rock because thats simply where a lot of the best music can be found, 12 year old trolls with bad grammar don't represent that entire fanbase.
