I agree…maybe that's a different list. Bands that have different lead singers in the same band? Floyd, The Beatles, The Cars, Blink 182, The Eagles, The Monkees? Eh, I'm running out of em already. But it's an interesting list, I think, for what each singer brings to a band and what they try to convey with different…

And each of their lineups always has something interesting to offer, at least. I loved the Wetton and Bruford era—"Red" is a hell of an album. And then Belew and the whole "Discipline" stuff. They have a lot of dreck, but there are some amazing jewels in there.

I'm a big fan and I eagerly await each of his movies because I know there will be something interesting to mull over and dissect. That said, I did not like Inherent Vice at all. I was bored to tears. The Master took a few viewings, but now it's one of my faves from him. I've heard that Vice is also rewarding after a…

This is very true. The older I get, the more irritating and pointless all the screeching is. Meaningful notes, played with emotion, always have a place…and they always sound good.

That's a great point! Seems like me and all my guitar-playing stoner buddies at the time were all into the wankery that Van Halen inspired—all squeaks and effects and lighting fast arpeggios. Slash came along and just played so relatively slowly, carefully (well, maybe except for Paradise City), and he had that big…

That would be great! I kinda wanna throw in Lost Boys-era Jason Patric, too…maybe as a ref?

Thank you for this list. I don't really like any of the songs (well, maybe INXS), but they pull out very specific memories of a time and place way back when, of hot summers and family vacations, and hearing the same several songs on a local radio station for what seems like the entire summer. It's a very powerful…

"I HEARD YOU GUYS LIKE VODKA AND ORANGE JUICE…ROCK AND ROLL!!!"

Agreed. Then work backward to Way of the Dragon for sure. One of the joys of childhood was going to the old video store and renting one of Lee's films and then finding some B-grade Kung-Fu schlock as supplemental research.

Ha, me too. I used to rent that movie and watch that fight scene over and over and over. And the bloopers at the end. Those are about the only good parts. Maybe Adrienne Barbeau, too.

I always associated Saxon with his superfluous role in "Mitchell"! Well, the whole movie was superfluous, I suppose, but it gave us one of the best MST3K episodes, so we've got that going for us.

Ha, I totally get it! I suppose it must be something to do with her quiet authority, less is more, regal sort of stature. It's just cool to see the actual leader of the rebellion…I mean, we don't know anything about her! How'd she get that job? I'm sure there is some comic or EU thing that explained it at some point,…

Very true. Even the smallest bit of weight loss or gain or hairstyle really affected him back in his prime. He was shockingly thin for "The Last Tycoon" around the time of "Taxi Driver," and he looks even stranger in that film. I think it was after his big weight gain in "Raging Bull" that he started to have a more…

This is an absolute perfect way to describe this film.

Ah! That makes sense. I'll check it out. Hamill has really turned into a national treasure.

I see what you mean, and I totally understand. I think for me, though, and many others—there is a desire to get some more of Vader being a ruthless badass circa Emprie. That was the Vader that captured all of our imaginations as one of the best villains of all time.

This comment is wonderful.

I totally fanboyed with Mon Mothma, the Yavin base and the AT-ATs. Doesn't take much to make a Star Wars fan like me happy, it seems. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I'll take it today.

You're so right! I thought it was going to be a joke, like he was going to have some kind of cool punchline or something, but no…he's just staring. He's either really into character, pissed off, distracted…not sure, but I hope Hamill brings some of that to episode VIII!
