That's fair. My last post reached way, way lower than "decade defining" rock songs. Guilty as charged.
Probably true, but you're gonna have a pretty short playlist if your criteria of "decade defining rock" is strictly enforced.
I agree entirely. There have been quite a number of bands and songs listed already that fall well short of that. And honestly, if I were going to critique my most recent list, I'd say that Poison is head and shoulders above Quiet Riot. And Ratt, for goodness sake. Fluffy is giving me crap for listing Poison but he let Ratt slide by?!
Ratt was still a way better band than KISS. Yes, I realize that they are in the HoF.But, they weren't especially talented - even for a garage band. They certainly were inspirational, though. They made every aspiring rocker realize that anyone could be a rock star. They are in the Hall because of one thing only - wearing silly costumes. They would never have been noticed otherwise.
I agree with you 100%. I am not a KISS fan at all (although I did see them in concert once - coincidentally with Nugent who I also listed). However, it's hard to deny that KISS left a mark on 70s rock. Sure, it was a skid mark...but a mark's a mark.
MUBB decade defining songs?
Do you only remember Miss You off that album? Because beyond that there isn't a disco song on Some Girls.
Yeah ... my bad. Love that album. I blame the drugs.
I'd put Emotional Rescue as being more on the disco sidePlenty of good suggestions but I don't recall seeing Steppenwolf, the Doors, Mott the Hoople, Bad Co., Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (Oh Well, Black Magic Woman)
How has nobody suggested pepper by the butthole surfers I feel like that's worthy of a 90s mention
BoDeans - She's a Runaway. Come on, late 80s/early 90s Marquette alums. Honestly, based upon my time at Marquette and everything that was going on for me, BoDeans is one of the more defining rock bands in my life. Obviously, that's not what this thread is about, though. Man, I gotta go listen to Joe Dirt Car.
BoDeans "Fadeaway" would be my picks for those bands
I found Joe Dirt Car too mopey. I thought Live from the Pabst was a better concert album. Having Kenny Aronoff for the concert made everything better.
Am I the only marquette grad that thinks the Bodeens are absolutely terrible?No one mentioned the Spanish O'Donnells, shame on you all.
