Howlong, New South Wales Superthread

She is slippery. And send me a trident. I might not use it on her, but when is having a trident a bad thing?

When Neptune comes back looking for his motherfucking trident.

 

[phillyfan26]

This will only be Neptune's trident if Dalton is enough of a douche to send me a black market trident. Dalton, it's me, you can overspend a bit to get me a legitimate trident, right?

Right?

 

[coolian2]

It was nice knowing you, PFan.

 

[Axver]

Greetings.

Dead thread?

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey, Ax


I'm curious to know if Pfan ever got a chance to use that trident.

 

[Irishteen]

All the threads around here are dead tonight...

 

[coolian2]

Yay, the thread lives. Just as i was about to comment on it being dead.

 

[coolian2]

Salt and vinegar chips are somehow good when they're kettles chips.

Yeah, it just took me only a couple of minutes to browse the rest of the forum. There's so little happening and so few other threads I'm even interested in.

They tend to make any flavour good, really. I love their barbecue flavour.

 

[Irishteen]

The thread lives through discussion of it being dead, ironic.

This may be total blasphemy but if I were to rank the decades of music from the 50's until now it would look something like this:

1. 1970's
2. 1980's
3. 2000's
4. 1990's
5. 1960's
6. 1950's

 

[Axver]

I must admit, though, I'm amused that WTAHNN has a thread about whether the new album will be Eno/Lanois or Lanois/Eno, and somehow there's actually a difference there.

This may be total blasphemy but if I were to rank the decades of music from the 50's until now it would look something like this:

1. 1970's
2. 1980's
3. 2000's
4. 1990's
5. 1960's
6. 1950's

I'm all about music blasphemy.

1. 1990s
2. 2000s
3. 1970s
4. 1980s
5. 1960s

I honestly have barely listened to much 1950s music. Haven't struck much to interest me, and my favourite genres are pretty post-1950s!

And if the pattern of the above rankings keeps up, the 2010s will be the best music decade yet.

That's not an uncommon opinion at all.



Doesn't mean it's not blasphemy though. 60's in 5th???

 

[Screwtape2]

What did you like about the 90's, Axver?

 

[Irishteen]

Whatever decade came up with gangsta rap, is the worst decade in music, oh how I wish that would all just disappear from the world

 

[LemonMelon]

1. 1970's
2. 1960's
3. 1990's
4. 1980's









590. 2000's

I've found the only really nice ones i can get are in Australia, although i've stumbled across an acceptable brand here too.

My problem with the 60's is there a lot of classics but not a lot of great albums. I'm an album guy that's how I rank a decade. What is your order?

 

[Screwtape2]

1. 1970's
2. 1960's
3. 1990's
4. 1980's









590. 2000's

What's so bad about the 2000's?

 

[Irishteen]

590. 2000's

why the 2000s hate?

We all lose when it comes to gangsta rap

Now that's just ridiculous. 1967 alone has as many classic albums as 1978-1982 combined IMO.

 

[Axver]

What did you like about the 90's, Axver?

1999 has got to be one of my favourite years for music ever. PT's Stupid Dream, Anathema's Judgement, Agalloch's Pale Folklore, Opeth's Still Life, etc. Stupid Dream and Judgement are two of my three favourite albums of all time, UF being my #1.

In general, the 1990s are when my favourite subgenres of metal really came into their own and matured, moving beyond juvenile thrash and hair metal into genres of substance, soundscapes, atmosphere, and extremely technical, proficient playing. Progressive rock experienced a resurgence with its third wave, e.g. Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater. Post-rock started to take off. Pop-rock recovered from the ravages of the eighties and put out some awesome stuff, and of course, there was the atmospheric-yet-rockin' glory of shoegazer (shame there's nobody continuing where bands like Crowded House and The Verve left off in the mid-1990s).

Except those who make money from it

You apparently have never heard the Star Wars gangsta rap.

 

[coolian2]

Oh fuck.

You might recall me talking about a creepy guy who used to hang around us at school. He just added me as a friend on Facebook.

I knew social networking would be my downfall!

 

[LMP]

1. 1970's
2. 1960's
3. 1990's
4. 1980's









590. 2000's

I'd put the 2000s before the '80s, but that's just me. Tons of amazing pop music and excellent songs, but the stuff right now just resonates with me more. Plus, a lot of material from the '80s comes off extremely dated. I agree with the rest of the order though.

For film:

1. '70s
2. '90s
3. '00s
4. '60s
5. '80s

And that's no knock on the '80s either.

 

[Irishteen]

the 80s was a decade I enjoy looking back on musically but would of hated to live through, being around that type of music every day probably would driven me crazy
