    Most sampled artist ever, that's got to be something right.

    I'd give my vote to T'Pau, they held China in their hand don't ya know?

    You remind me of a certain Mr. Patrick Bates in "American Psycho".

    Mr. Hendrix would probably be the biggest in my lifetime, as far as legends go.

    Proper Legends ...... gotta be Levon Helm singing something written by Robbie Robertson .... unbeatable

    Modern Legend ..... emmm I am firmly of the belief that Ryan Adams will prove to rank among the greatest songwriters of all time :)

    for me it's a double act of Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters. such brilliant, brilliant artists, both in Pink Floyd and in their solo careers

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    no, no. if I was taking a piss I would be in a lavatory right now, but I'm not. I really do think Pink Floyd are a fantastic band. infact they pretty much got me through my last year of college without going completly insane

    How could you watch that bore for 2 hours, I won't pay what they want us to pay to see that! Although I do admit that "Another Brick in The Wall" was a stroke of genius... but it's not worth it for one song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    And I give you Phil Collins..... again. :D


    :p

    have you ever listened to anything except Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2? because they have done much much better stuff and I would pay anything, yes ANYTHING, to see a Pink Floyd reunion concert

    Tunes from the Delicate Sound of Thunder (live) are excellent!

    Well Bollox, I always said you were crazy... and my frieand, I was right. Bored to tears watching them videos! Those visual screen affects during their live shows gives me nothing to enjoy! They use to much harmonies and never move into a moving train constents! The reason why I love proper Classic Rock is because they stick to a good sound motion of sound. I may give you my example...



    Thats such a cool 80's song may I add! :D

    Sorry, his name was actually Patrick Bateman. You can understand my confusion, since the character in the original "Psycho" was named Norman Bates.

    By comparing you to Bateman, I was actually facetiously calling you a 'deranged, insane serial killer', as one of the defining moments of Bateman's insanity is when he claims that Old Genesis was "too cerebral". Throwing in Huey Lewis was just icing on the cake. :)

    Phil? He was ok for a superficial pop star. He actually did some excellent work with Genesis after Gabriel left ("Trick of the Tail" comes to mind), and had rare gems with Genesis later (say, "Land of Confusion"). 'Abacab' was a stand-up album, hearkening back to more of a Classic Genesis sound.

    But the longer it went on, the more commercial and superficial it got. "Easy Lover" and the girl-group covers are good examples.

    + 1, what a voice! Him singing the Split Enz's "Stuff and nonsense" sends shivers down my spine.

    I also vote Clapton.

    I said biggest legend, not best music. Who ever you think is a damn right cool fúcker! :D BTW, Ronan Collins is a Bollox!

    I'm suprised nobody said this dude yet! :D



    Ah now, can someone actually tell me he's no cool! :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Johnny Cash is a legend, so is Shaun Ryder & Bez from Happy Mondays.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy
