"Born Again" by Black Sabbath is an excellent album.

Quoted from oPinsesame:My thesis: any song in which I can’t clearly understand the lyrics the first time through is less good.
For example: ABBA , John Denver or Bob Dylan > Nirvana, Ozzy or any song after 2000 (all awful)
Bobby Bare beats all.
Not sure how Ozzy applies to that. Sure he may be hard to understand in interviews but he can sing lyrics very clearly for the most part.
Quoted from Thermionic:Best thing I have seen on SNL this century, I think! About as good as anything done in 1974!
Fortunately though, White IS NOT the only man keeping the flame! Ty Segall could be his musical "brother" and is even more prolific (Ty Segall Band, White Fence, Fuzz):
Play LOUD:
Don't forget Kurt Vile.
For being one of the most important styles of music, due to its wide historical influence spanning multiple genres, jazz is still vastly under appreciated by society.
Quoted from snyper2099:I totally agree. Two of my favorite Jazz artists are Sonny Rollins and Mose Allison.
Art Blakey, Milt Jackson, and John Coltrane are some of my favorites.
There are/were a number of British rockers who cited jazz musicians as an influence. Bill Ward naming Gene Krupa comes to mind.
Quoted from TheLaw:Not a 90s album...could have been the best if it was.
Leaving the door open to either 'Loveless' or 'AntiChrsit Superstar 'being the best album of the 1990s .
'Loveless' for the win.
Quoted from Rivv:How about SUN RA?
Some of my other jazz favorites are Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Pharaoh Sanders, Eric Dolphy, John Zorn, Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, and Alice Coltrane.
My unpopular music opinion is grunge was a boring trend except for a few bands like Melvins and Alice in Chains. And grunge should be forever shamed for birthing those post grunge monstrosities like Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Creed, Bush, Three Days Grace, etc.
Damn, all those names are great. Especially Mingus, Coleman and Monk.
Grunge was basically pop music with down tuned guitars. It had its moments, but the best stuff still survives in the independent music scene.
Melvins are great. They started before the big Seattle boom of the late 80s and are still around to this day. They influenced one of my favorite bands, Boris.
Earth is another band from Seattle 1989 that is still around despite a brief hiatus in the late 90s. They are one of my favorite all time and easily my favorite of all the Seattle bands. Started the drone guitar style of music that inspired drone metal, notably Sunn o))).
Quoted from Thermionic:I saw them in ‘92, and it was the only concert I have ever left due to it being too loud, literally made me feel physically ill! We lasted about 15 minutes then went to the lobby, which was about as loud as most “normal” concerts in the floor seats, to finish the show!
Sounds like paradise for me!
Quoted from Jvspin:Unpopular music opinion?
Most heavy metal sounds like noise.
Now get off my lawn...
Your post made me think of this album.
282891658682 (resized).jpgQuoted from electricsquirrel:And how was Neil Young lucky enough to be dubbed, "the godfather of grunge"?
Because the simpletons of mainstream entertainment saw him perform with Pearl Jam on that award show or whatever and came up with that doofus statement.
I've heard it applied to CCR too, because they wore flannel shirts or something.
Jethro Tull > Metallica
Edit: ha forgot I was gonna post this earlier. ^
Quoted from o-din:But probably the worst concert I ever went to. The act was good, but except for that song, the music was almost unbearable.
Atleast you saw them! I missed out before my time but my time still good with what I got today. (Not this year obviously)
Despite what pop culture says about the greatest performances on SNL, this is the number one.
Mostly also because the great Donald Pleasance is host and totally blitzed.
Quoted from jhanley:Last two Sabbath tours were great. Great sound and Ozzy was funnier than hell. Me and my sons had a great time. I don't think any body sat down through both shows. Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler were fantastic.
It was a hard decision, but I chose not to attend those final two tours. I'm glad you and your sons had a great time though. Tony and Geezer can still bring it.

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Eric Clapton is overrated
I'd exchange Clapton to get SRV back.
Quoted from o-din:If you think you hate them now, just wait until you've played the game more than five times.
The owners wont even get 5 plays in before they decide to sell it for the next machine that gets announced with another relic theme.
Quoted from o-din:I turned that shit off or changed the station whenever that dude came. Bored in the USA however seemed to be popular with zombies at the time.
Yeah but according to Pinside music experts he made millions and everybody likes him so hes the best and should be the NEXT STERN PIN.
Quoted from John_I:Back in the day, every male of our species had to pretend to like Journey, REO and/or Foreigner at one point or another to get laid.
"I discovered you could get women to take their clothes off if you had a guitar. And they come off a lot faster if you can play it.” - Lemmy
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Yeah, the Stones were at the Superdome. It was Neville Bros, George Thorogood, then the Stones.
Ozzy was at some outdoor show with La Roux, Foreigner and Loverboy.
The other Ozzy show was an outdoor show in Baton Rouge with Vandenburg and BOC.
I dug through my old ticket stubs. Two more I forgot about. Blackfoot with Billy Thorpe at The Warehouse, and Kiss with Zebra at the Superdome.
Also in Biloxi, Def Lep with Krokus and Jon Butcher Axis.

Dude, thank you for posting that. Would loved to have seen that Ozzy and BOC show.
Hows Fultondale these days? I went to Hoover High.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:I dont know if this is unpopular or what. Im just confused... what is up with John Legend?
I feel like I see this guy on tv or internet daily even though his music is piano based schlock and cheez as far as I can tell.
Pretty generic and bland and its not like he's a great singer... plus dude looks like a bigger version of Webster from the 80s.
people like this shit? I realize he has ten grammys probably but who likes this?
Is he terrible like Josh Groban? Dunno why I thought of that. Maybe it was the piano schlock and cheese thing.
Quoted from lastlight:And yet when I tried to learn the guitar I blew total ass. You need to rethink this.
If I can play it, you can too!
