What I hoped for, and feared, has come to pass.  It'd be too difficult to go back and look, but I am fairly sure our 1/2 Championship matchup is rare.  So I'm proud of me for getting right and for you folks for, well, getting it right ;)  Now for what I fear, having to decide.  I have few loves like the love I have for Zeppelin.  They were a major factor in my teen years.  And I never cared as much for the Stones as I did The Beatles or The Who.  But over the last few years, I have grown to really dig the stuff I once looked down on.  And Gimme Shelter is just one bad ass, sinister tune.  I'm torn.  I hope you are, too  O0

Only if by 'right song,' you mean some low rent, cheesy, 80's hair metal that the band that made song didn't even care about that Brant has glommed on to and thinks is, 'great.'

I think some 80s acts got their musical inspiration from the 60s.... Just sayin  :-" not that I'm trying to stir musical rantings up or anything.....

I was speaking in generalities.  As much crap as I give Brant for his questionable taste in some genres of music, I can't deny his love for music.  And that's all that really matters.

I meant genres as a whole, not specific songs inside the genre.  So, the only thing he has on me is the bad taste to deny the greatness of Hendrix' Watchtower ;)
