Who comes up with the movie choices? Muddy would be first choice but I don't think he played this one at all.

If not, I vote Fightin Girish.

Mad dash to the finish between 8 Mile and Colors :lol:

Bread, I believe you could be a be part of the choosing group with all you have watched! Maybe 2 different groups of 20!

Known great movies and maybe a group unheard, underrated ones that you and your other half would be most qualified for?

Should have known JC would get the Team Brown Brown support with all the ones that worked at his mansion over the years!

Here RJ, I think this guy worked there as a young lad! See if he wants to vote too!

I'm not a huge Zep fan but I appreciate their craft. They were way out there as far as musical exploration goes and they're all extremely skilled musicians. Jimmy Page is kinda sloppy but he's pretty much the quintessential guitar hero.

The Beatles should be taught in school. It's easy to completely dismiss them as this cutesy pop group but they came up with so much shit that's taken for granted today, and they were the first rock/pop band to sort of bridge the gap between popular and savant music (in part thanks to George Martin.) Paul McCartney is a genius composer (but one heck of a lyrical faggot.)

Yes to all of it!!

I don't enjoy Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix or even Pink Floyd... but I understand why people do. For Floyd and Marley, they just remind me of early uni guys who had no clue about anything but apparently "got" the music. Ummm no you bloody well didn't. Chomping on shrooms or wearing Rasta stuff or Adidas shirts with the pot leaf as the symbol doesn't mean you get it.

The Beatles are The Beatles. I simply can't understand how anyone can slate them. Pete Best did a show at LU and I was one of maybe 40 people in the audience and the whole thing was tragic... even more so because he was playing The Beatles' songs the whole time and it just made me sad. I was dating the bartender at the time so Pete came down to sit with us after his gig and he just kind of rambled and chatted. Lovely guy but the whole time I was thinking how the hell do you live after that? Not even for the money aspect but he's playing their songs. That's his only draw card. The whole thing just seemed degrading and sad.

Then again he could be ecstatically happy for all I know. But I'd be Pavy confident that he was indeed not.

See that's awful. This poor guy. How do you live with that if you're a muso type? You could've been a Beatle but now you're playing LU and Casbah Coffee Club.

For all the "what if" stories out there, he's got to be up the ladder. You'd think someone would throw him some cash. Or maybe not I guess. Yuck.
