Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!


Big Head Todd and the Monsters at Red Rocks. This is from 2008. Saw them this June at RR. What a venue. Gunna watch Todd again New Years Eve in Menlo Park CA at The Guild...
 
OK

As Christmas is slowly crawling near, this Christian band playing an old Christmas song:

 
Christmas is already here. Went to the store for Halloween candy and there is Christmas s*it everywhere, music and all.

Did I miss Halloween?
 
How about this one? It’s near Moab Utah.

Oh, sorry, wrong kind of rock.
 
Nah.

Foo Fighters. Times Like These.


Soundgarden. Before you ever heard of them.


REM. In anything before "Green" it was hard to find a song that wasn't awesome.


Mountain Song. Jane's Addiction had the official song in every snowboarder's head:


Foo Fighters. Times Like These is even awesome acoustic.


Steelheart. Probably the best Big Hair Metal Band that you never heard of.


Mother Love Bone Crown of Thorns. The 90's in one song.


Brad. Couch T-Bone.


My own opinion is that coming of age in the 1970s was the cultural equivalent of being raised by wolves. But they put out some good music as well as committed horrific atrocities against my ears:


Foo Fighters. Times Like These blows you away live.


You might say Dave Grohl is My Hero.
 
Tickets for this year include….

Foo fighters in Colorado
Cali roots festival…..all 3 days in Monterey.
Primus with pucifer and a perfect circle in Berkeley.

This will be some of the best music.
 
Nah.
(snipped for brevity
Many of those pop up on my playlist, though for Soundgarden, it's just as likely:


It recently popped up on a gravelly ride sandwiched between Mountain Song and the following...


For Dave Grohl fans, it's worth checking out Killing Joke's 2003 self titled album, just because he goes back to his drumming roots on that
(a fitting end to the whole "Killing Joke sues Nirvana" story), and Killing Joke is a vastly underrated band IMHO. :)

I find the track "Asteroid" lyrically darkly humorous, and it rocks...
 
FunFact: Nirvanas Incesticide album features Dave Ghrol using much disco beats because that’s what he was into at the time. He was new to the band on that album and he quickly got on board for Nevermind. The album “Bleach” had another drummer. You can easily tell the difference in these three albums. In Utero is one of my favorite albums. Specifically this song.


 
I might just play some grunge today.
It's monthly bike maintenance gotta have backup music.
I have chains, brake pads, sealant refresh and 3000 lumens forward looking lights to install bolts to inspect and re torque.
I gonna have a full day of relaxation !!!
 
Oh god. I just saw whatever the f*ck this is, last night.

Actually, it’s Acid Mother Temple. Very small club and very loud. I had ear plugs because I’ve lost enough hearing throughout my youth. Had good company, so it was fun overall.
 
My buddy heard of them years ago when he worked at an old record shop. He found they were coming and bought tickets. I have never been to the venue, so I agreed to go. I’m at work now, thinking about my decisions. Lol
