Giants Fan 85 Posted August 12, 2007 1. License to Ill, Beastie Boys 2. 10, Pearl Jam 3. Nevermind, Nirvana 4. U2, not a fan ... but respect 'em ... and they do a bad ass live show. Pick an album here! 5. Rain Dogs, Tom Waits Tom Waits .... gotta be top 5. You may be familiar with the song "Downtown Train" that you thought was by that Rod Stewart fellow ... it's a cover. A Tom Waits cover from Rain Dogs. "When I see you tonight, on a downtown train ... all my dreams fall like rain." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted August 12, 2007 i love FOB! I showed some of my students a picture of me when I was 15, leather jacket, mohawk ... and I got up and pointed to the screen and said, "That was like ... 1985, 22 years ago. And you know what? Sid Vicous died like 7 years before that." "Punk's not dead ... it's just been repackaged and sold to you as something new, but it's not new. Punk is pop ... it's top 40." Bands like Good Charlotte .... is it wrong that I wanna beat them all up? Soooo not punk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Celticspride 0 Posted August 13, 2007 All the way back to 1977 .... but not before. I'll submit .... Pearl Jam, 10 is top 5. Pearl Jam, U2, Beastie Boys, Nirvanah .... 1 more. This has to be a "Giants Fans' top 10 albums" list...How else could you explain the inclusion of any Beastie Boys record over Dr. Dre's "Chronic"?...Beastie Boys were relevant to suburban white kids and frat boys, but the album didn't change the rap scene or have any long-term affects on music... "The Chronic" was not only a hit with suburban white kids, but also huge in the inner cities...It also changed the sound of rap for the next 10+ years and its production is still influential in today's rap and pop...
