I still love the guitar solo - one of my favorite all time solos, right up there with the one in the otherwise unremarkable My Sharona.

I got the exactly opposite from Jeepers Creepers. It seemed to me like much more of a loving homage than a take down. But then, I'm a fan of JCS (though I think I actually like JPS better).
I REALLY want to play that at my open mic, but I worry that humorless people will be there and take it all seriously.
Patty Rosborough or GTFO.
I'm pretty sure the drugs on the streets back then were just as bad as today when it comes to the scary shit that dealers add to increase profits. (And with heroin, the fact is that it's much purer today than it was in the 60s and 70s). The difference is that the Stones and their contemporaries never had to buy drugs…
Went to see Rollins a few years ago. As we're waiting for the show to start, I turned to my brother and said, "Oh no, it just occurred to me - what if he starts playing his fucking music?"
The first concert I ever paid to see was Peter Frampton with Rick Derringer opening in 1977. Among the relatively large group of people that I went with, there wasn't a guy there that didn't think that Derringer blew Frampton away. All of the girls felt the opposite way.
Just as Zeppelin engendered a generation of terrible bands that were clueless about what made Zeppelin great, so did AiC engender a generation of terrible band that had no idea what made AiC great. Doesn't mean they weren't influential.
I've been saying for years that Alice in Chains are way more influential than most people realize. They had harmonies that were pretty unique at the time that are pretty much standard these days.
But we just found out that that guy was already nearly blind in one eye, so Wahlberg didn't nearly maim anyone. He just beat up a cripple.
One of my mother-in-law's closest friends claims to be psychic. He's also a reiki "master." I haven't figured out whether he's delusional type or the charlatan-milking-the-suckers-for-all-they're-worth kind, but that's probably because I avoid the guy like the plague.
I talk to myself all the time when I'm alone. Generally, it's related to whatever task I happen to be performing. For example, I was assembling a desk over the weekend and would say out loud what parts I needed. However, mostly what I said while trying to follow the terrible instructions was, "What the hell?", which…
I can certainly see how disliking a theme that repeats throughout a work could easily turn one off to the entire work. While "See Me" isn't the strongest part of Tommy, it clearly doesn't bother me as much as it does you.
I'm actually the opposite. I think Tommy is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written and am 'meh' about Quadrophenia.
I can read these words, but they make no sense to me.
And wasn't Ratt only famous because of their show biz connections (one of the guys in the band is Uncle Milty's actual nephew, I thought).
Actually, Ratt's "Round and Round" is the greatest Van Halen single of all time.
Blue Oyster Cult had non-band-member collaborators for their entire career (of evil), including some that resulted in some of their best work. It's not the collaboration that the problem, it's the "pro song doctors" thing that @avclub-1995235c85099e61fc4fe43428368aa7:disqus notes below.
I think that run from Beggar's to Exile is the best anyone's ever had or is ever likely to.
This is the correct answer. It is also Joe Perry's favorite Aerosmith album.
