How anyone can put Queen anywhere other than #1 is beyond me.

And this is coming from someone who kinda likes Muse.

[Himu]

Music bore > music gaf

How did you guys feel about that NME best bassline article sans jazz and funk?  Also lol muse #1.

Muse sucks, but I won't deny that Hysteria has a pretty rocking bassline.

Pretty good list. For Tool, I think Hush > Schism. I'd put the bassline at the end of Achilles' Last Stand (Zeppelin) above a few of those.

Here it is if anyone doesn't care to google:

1. Muse – 'Hysteria'
2. Rush – 'YYZ'
3. Queen – 'Another One Bites The Dust'
4. Queen and David Bowie – 'Under Pressure'
5. Pink Floyd – 'Money'
6. Metallica – 'Orion'
7. Michael Jackson – 'Billie Jean'
8. Yes – 'Roundabout'
9. The Who – 'My Generation'
10. Tool – 'Schism'

How is Michael Jackson not considered funk. His early 80's career is wholly defined by Quincy Jones' fueled funk/bossa nova/jazz hybrid style.  I wouldn't consider Billie Jean rock despite the inclusion of the electric guitar.

BEST BASSLINES - NO FUNK/JAZZ ALLOWED

#5. Michael Jackson - Don't Stop (Till You Get Enough)

[ZephyrFate]

That list as dumb as shit without jazz or funk. Those genres are premiere sources of the best basslines in history. Especially jazz, which always finds a way to integrate a baseline into the overall harmony instead of having it be drowned out by other instruments (see: rock).

I dunno if you're going to go funk, I think Bootsy, James Brown or any popular act from the 70s pretty much takes the cake.

[Himu]

But don't you see, Zephyr? Rock is the only genre.

[ZephyrFate]

George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic/Bootsy's
James Brown
War
Isaac Hayes
Curtis Mayfield
Earth, Wind, and Fire
Prince
Rick James

I can go on and on

[TakingBackSunday]

Paul Simon circa Graceland not showing up in the top ten is blasphemy



also, Paul McCartney, one of the most underrated technical bassists in rock.  You think of him as a crappy songwriter, but he was actually fucking beastly at bass

Definitely. I honestly have to update my funk collection after reading NME's bullshit list.

He also wasn't a crappy songwriter.

If he had John or George to help him, sure.  But on his own,

^5 for Fela. Dude was so badass outside of his music too.

[Himu]

The way Fela died could be construed as foolish but dude was cold as ice.



Best Jackson 5 song.

Relatively recent but good.

On his own? Maybe I'm Amazed, Band on the Run, Live and Let Die, all classics. Plus John wasn't really collaborating with him on the later albums.

The only good song that you listed is Live and Let Die.  Band on the Run is trash. 

[Great Rumbler]

Wings have plenty of great songs. BrandNew is wrong, FACT

Economy is in the shitter and they're debating this. lol.

[Himu]

the sad thing are the count of dudes who voted against it. our politicians are idiots, but I'm sure this is true of every country, but it's doubly true for America given our secular roots. Even if you're religious you should vote against that crap for the pursuit of religious freedom. Religious freedom does not mean you can put your religion everywhere with no repercussions. Religious freedom means anyone can start a religion and anyone can practice any religion, but also that that religion and government are to be exclusive, and separated from each other. Did they not pay attention to why the pilgrims came to America to begin with in High School?

The pretense of religious freedom is that you shouldn't mix religion with shit that has nothing to do with religion because you may not always be a religious majority. The Christians should find it equally as enticing as a secular humanist because in 50 years time, America could hypothetically speaking be majority Muslim and people will have to bow down on their knees to Allah at some random graduation because it's fucking Asr prayer and people just assume due to sheer numbers that EVERYONE is Muslim.

But instead, they decide to be IDIOTS.

I think you're overreacting. Obviously it's stupid to waste time on that right now, but it doesn't seem like something people should be getting upset about one way or another. You're a dope if you're conflating a couple words with forcing people to recite prayers, etc. The Declaration of Independence contained similar references to a monotheistic God, it'd be stupid to take a blackout marker to that too.

But mostly I just think you're getting way too upset over something that really doesn't matter at all.

The annoying part is the thread isn't even about circumcision, but like a trooper Gaborn couldn't help but drop it in there as early as possible.

Thankfully everyone just ignored him.

The burden of proof is on you to prove that it does matter. Knock yourself out. I'm sure there were millions of people who were converted because of In God We Trust.

[Himu]

In God We Trust is merely a symptom. If you can't see how religion and politics mix in American politics you're an idiot.

I don't agree.  This is just how extended internet arguments roll these days.  You have the initial (negative) reaction and then after a while, the contrarians come out of the woodwork.  Eventually it is no longer cool to be a contrarian so you have the contrarians of the contrarians, coming full circle.  We saw the same thing happen with Rebecca Black.

You suck at being convincing just fyi. But I've known this since the Zelda thread.

[Phoenix Dark]

Himu just got served by a 12 year old boy

[Himu]

Andrex has yet to convince me that it doesn't matter at all. Surely, as an American, he should realize that In God We Trust is merely a symptom of a wider problem, religiosity mixing with politics. Many politicians have a platform based on the entire premise of being religious, this has no place in politics. To belittle it into "something that doesn't matter" is truly the pretty pink fairy princess ideology of a 12 year old. In God We Trust isn't really a problem, I don't get offended when I see the words scrawled on a dollar bill, the issue is much wider than that, and seeing the politician reaction to the situation is disheartening.



In other words, Andrex, you are a fool. But given your erection for Nintendo, that much was obvious. That said, the issue isn't nearly as important as creating jobs, but that doesn't take away its importance.

The fact that they are even bringing this issue up instead of concentrating on more important issues confirms everything I've said: they are fucking whacko.

[ZephyrFate]

"In God We Trust" should be taken out of the system.

[etiolate]

It's more harmless if ignored than it is to attack the motto.

[ZephyrFate]

I don't really mind one way or the other, but I'm not going to hide my dislike of it. Little I can do about it anyway.

[Tasty]

Say, whatever happened to Private Hoffman?

Andrex, would you be okay with it if the motto contained a reference to a religion you don't follow?  Just wondering how much its not mattering to you is riding on it being your religion's duder in there.

I mean obviously we'll never know, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care (since it's been the motto as long as it has.)

If it was some NEW thing (monotheistic or otherwise), then I'd be against it.

[Tasty]

Private Hoffman was a dupe of Hans/Snah and he got perma'd when that was uncovered.  He's still around as a different dupe.  See if you can spot him!

I didn't even know he was this Hans fellow, how would I know what other account he's under?

I did find out who Kittonwy's alt was a while back but I forgot, probably because the new acct doesn't make obnoxious posts and we run in different circles.

[Tasty]

What happened to SantaC for that matter? (He had that swedes swedes swedes tag, right?)

And then you have people who make it increasingly obvious with name changes and hounding evilore with questions. Dumbfucks

Is this a reference to your alt?

[AdmiralViscen]

Come on, man The answer is two posts above.

Also, Wrath's alt has to be one of the most hilarious and audacious attempts yet. You'd have to be brain-dead to not figure it out. Then again, not everyone is familiar with the House of O.

[Shaka Khan]

Happy Eid, people!

I butchered some cattle and ate some fresh liver :savageryfekya

[MCD]

Happy Eid, demi.

[Tasty]

what happened with santa initially is that he was juniored for making too many dumb threads and then would not let it go.  constantly bugging the mods, whining, etc, so he got the perma-boot.  And he got the kind of perma-boot where when he comes back as an alt and they find it, they are immediately inclined to give him another boot.   Some alts are known alts and are just allowed.  Everyone knows who Crushed is, everyone knows who "Puddles" really is, and so on.  I'm 99% sure they know who Wrath is. 

If they perma-ban you but they have no hard feelings about it, you might survive as an alt.  If they hate you, you're going to get perma'd as soon as they find out who you are.

Ah.

On one hand it seems weird they'd ban someone but still let them live as an alt, but I guess there are times that call for a perma (in the eyes of the users) but the mods may not hate the person, or in the case of Wrath I assume, getting previously perma'd by a mod who isn't around anymore. (Wrath, you were banned by Dragona right?)

[Shaka Khan]

If I'm not mistaken, the bans over the Rockband case were handed by EL personally.

[Tasty]

I knew the RB thread was, was Wrath apart of that bunch?

I still sort of feel surprised whenever I see snesfreak posting, I always lumped him in with them.

Wrath was not banned by Dragona. 

Dragona's alleged bans are really overreported, actually.  A lot of the bans people assumed were her were actually other mods, and I think that's clear now that she's gone and some of the stuff people were dead certain were bans as a result of her still continue to earn bans.  Particularly in the year or so before she was tossed out, she barely had anything to do with GAF. 

I won't speculate as to why so many people jumped to the conclusions that it was her.

I was confusing his banning with his tagging...
