    USS Arizona - After all this time . . .

    The Iowa was the only ship in the fleet outfitted with a bathtub, reason being that FDR couldn't use a shower due to being disabled by polio. Had FDR not died, and was still president, the surrender would absolutely have been on the Iowa.

    Agreed but it’s one of my favorite WHO tunes so it gets a pass from me…and it’s Ox’s tune, which makes me love it even more.

    If you consider Dark Side as a concept album it’s easier to accept the difference in Money simply because it was a song Waters wrote as a kid…so it has some autobiographical context for its inclusion on the record. In a sense it’s supposed to be different, as a stop along the journey. The...

    It’s my favorite song on the record followed closely by L’America.

    I consider Wish You Were Here to be perfect. In my opinion it's flawless. Not one note or lyric out of place. It's a truly remarkable work of art.

    This is another big one for me. IMO LA Woman is perfect except for Jim Morrison's ridiculous harmonica imitation on Cars Hiss By My Window. Remove those seconds from the record and it's absolutely flawless.

    I love it. I LOVE MoR...but on balance I just don't get as much out of tunes like Lord of this World and After Forever as everything on Vol 4. Different strokes... MoR is an absolutely complete album though. If they filled that minute and a half that FX takes up on Vol 4 with Orchid it would be...

    I'm a big Black Sabbath fan and my favorite Sabbath LP is Vol 4. I'm of the age where I grew up consuming records as a complete work of art... so listening to all of it as one composition. Side one, track four ("FX") is just someone(s) fooling around with sound effects. It breaks up what...

    On That Note: Second, Minute or Hour

    SIAP…this is about tabs from sheets of blotting paper. It’s about dropping acid, LSD, not time.

    The great Metallica debate

    As has been stated upthread, it’s not a question of with or without Mustaine, it’s with or without Burton… It was Cliff’s band, they moved to SF because he demanded it. And that’s personally how I view anything after MoP. It’s basically like Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbath…not as good as the...

    Official Apology Thread: Has the rot set in?

    Call out threads are so f@cking dumb… It’s a fan board. You do understand that ISU could easily lose out and not get a bowl based on an embarrassing loss to Ohio, right? I didn’t vote, but those who voted “yes” aren’t stupid or bad fans. They’re just not cool with losing games ISU has no...
