Seriously....put down the Britney Spears and listen to some real music

I've gotten over Brittney. I mean sure, she used to be awesome, but somewhere along the line she just lost it.

:laugh2:

 

[Hoov]

That's my ring tone. it fits like a glove

CrazyTrain is the one Ozzy song i cant stand and everyone loves it, I guess its just too overplayed for me.


The new 4 disc boxset prince of darkness is pretty good though.

I love it because of Randy Rhoads. On Mister Crowley is where he really just awes you though.

haha...yea i know it's more of the newer stuff but everybody has their own taste in music.

Not much of a classical rock fan....as you can tell.

In the spirit of the board, I am going to accuse you of having a McCartney agenda. McCartney apologist!

Now now...I also have Come Together and Twist and Shout...

You should have also called me a Lennon Hater...which would be about as far from the truth as possible.



Uh...Drive My Car...Get Back...Junior's Farm...Hi Hi Hi...Let Me Roll It..

Now I'm pushing it...

Btw, I really liked your list.

 

[Juke99]

Oh....and I'd need "Surfin With the Alien" on my rock list too.
