Very well said, Egg. Thankfully, rap is slowly making it's way out the door. More and more it is drifting away. Being replaced with emo bands like Good Charlotte..... but hey, it's better than rap atleast. Whatever happened to the 90's where Rage Against The Machine, OLP, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. were the cool bands? I miss those days.
- Ron Guillet

Yeah, I listen to alot of mid-nineties stuff, before gangsta rap kicked in. Seems like that was the last real explosion of good music. We're in definite need of another wave of good music!

The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists

We are two mariners
Our ships' sole survivors
In this belly of a whale

Its ribs our ceiling beams
Its guts our carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen

But I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave

At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the wh*res and hounds
Oh Ohhhhh

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet

And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease

As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
Oh Ohhhhh

And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind

And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind

Then one day in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
Oh Ohhhhh

"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave
*sigh*"

It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street

Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat

But never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever once turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
Oh Ohhhhh

One night I overheard
The Prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea

The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty

The following day
I shipped to sea
With a privateer

And in the whistle
Of the wind
I could almost hear...
Oh Ohhhhh

"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave

"There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"

And then that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea

Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath

The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed

And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale

Oh Ohhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhh

Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth

But, O! What providence!
What divine intelligence!
That you should survive
As well as me

It gives my heart
Great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear

So lean in close
And I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
Ohh Ohhhhh

Ah, what do you know. Your just a Granny.

Chevelle - Brainiac

Time holds us for the minute,
It drives the risks like penicillin
Each of these men holds a pentagram
So recent all the surge
They're pushing off the charts

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout i teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

He's gotten through the piss
So he can blame few
Stop the chainsaw buzz
This passing eye-sore
These are the longest days
Sits like a razor
How many found?

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout i teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

This defines him
So useless these rules
Tempting timing
I should use the same tools

We know we miss one cell
Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout i teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Should've combine to save brains.
How 'bout i teach you to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Imagine this
Imagine this
Imagine this
One.



One of my favorite songs ever. Egg, do you like this kind of music?

- Eggshmeg

At least I know my grammar

Chevelle - Brainiac

- Ron Guillet

Lyrics are pretty poor, and the guitar riffs are generic. Not a bad song, but nothing special.

GH3 got me addicted to this song!

Cult Of Personality
Living Colour

Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of Personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the Cult of Personality

You want to hear a real song Ron? Listen to this baby:

Interpol - "Who do you Think"



Slow decay, I won't stop fighting yeah
Who do you think that is there?
I came to fight, I am in the air
I know you follow the body
Let go now to the coast of hypnotic we go
I only call them when I know
I don't see them
I only call them when I know
I don't see them
Who do you think that is there?
I show beyond so beyond compare
I always fall in these fights I know why
Always fall in these fights I know why
Controlling the agents takes a toll on my brain
Now who do you think that is there?
Only call them when I know
I don't see them.
I only call them when I know
I don't see them.
Slow decay, I won't
Who do you think that is there?
By interest strike leading out of despair
I know you follow the body, Let go now
to the coast of hypnotic that won't stop now
If making a taste for me
you're making your own way
Now who do you think, I said who do you think now?
Oh, how I pass the days, you know how much I care
Oh, through the wax and waning, you know I will be there
Oh, at your favorites I know now not to swear
Slow decay, I won't stop fighting yeah
Who do you think that is there?
I came to fight, I am in the air
I always fall in these fights I know why
And from the birth strings of life I go right
But controlling the agents takes a toll on my brain
Now who do you think that is there?
I only call them when I know
I don't see them
I only call them when I know
I don't see them

Let's get the music arguments flowing. How on god's earth to you accuse Chevelle of poor song writing when this song is no better? IMO both songs have good song writing, and this does NOTHING do be slated better. I call shananigans, Egg.

Bias!
