    So, people actually find this funny?  Like, funny "ha ha"?

    I had no idea that so many people had strong feelings about this band.  

    I sort of agree, just because you don't like the MPAA doesn't mean you should throw violence under the bus simply because that seems like the easiest way to discredit them.

    It's the appeal board that has industry people on it, not the initial voters. 

    I don't personally find curse words offensive, but it feels like the MPAA can't win for losing with some people.  If they stick to their rules like "one F-word per movie" they're called dogmatic sticklers, and if they deviate for some movies they're labeled "unfair and inconsistent."  I'd think that Harvey Weinstein

    Hold on a second.  this conclusion is based on the assumption that pagers weren't introduced until 1990, and that his highly suspect.  In fact, Mr. Cube himself complained about police "fuckin' with me cause I'm a teenager, with a little bit of gold and a pager" as early as 1988.

    Wasn't there a subplot on Studio 60 about the NBC surrogate network losing a lot of money while trying to make a Dracula series?

    I think it's about time someone started a class war on indie rock.  If every remotely talented musician is scared to death of "selling out" the mainstream will never improve.

    I'm not a Skrillex fan (or a fan of any other electronic music) but I don't see how his instrumental techno noise is any more "bro"-like than any other instrumental techno.

    I'm guessing that the pro-Kanye vote was split between MBDTF and Watch the Throne. 

    Stuff that sounds like Frank Sinatra

    Their last album debuted number 26.  To put that in perspective the number one album that week was by Godsmack.

    E. He somehow missed the giant picture of him at the top.

    I'm shocked that no one has compared this to the whole Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing.

    Yet many Classic Rock stations have been plenty diverse to begin with playing plenty of Punk, New Wave, and Singer-Songwriter Music alongside the usual "dino-rock."  The article does little to explain how Nirvana or Pearl Jam are any more different from Aerosmith and Zeppelin than Blondie and Simon and Garfunkel are…

    Yet that's how these older artists seemed at one point too.  Classic Rock stations have been playing music by Punk bands like The Ramones, The Clash, Iggy Pop, and even The Sex Pistols. Were these bands not supposed to be diametrically opposed to the "dinosaurs" like The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd?

    Where I live (Minneapolis) they don't play too much 90s stuff but that's because both the modern rock (93X) and classic rock (KQRS) stations are owned by the same companies and they seem to negotiate what gets played on what station.  A few years ago the modern rock station was still playing a lot of hair bands and

    The person who wrote this is old and needs to get over that fact rather than trying to insist that his old music is somehow different than his parents old music.  I love me some Nirvana, but it's just as "classic" at this point as U2 or The Clash or whatever.  The only reason this hasn't happened sooner is that most

    Given that the song never so much as charted on the Hot 100, I'm going to say no.  In fact some of the choices in this AVQ&A makes me wonder if the AV club has a different conception of the word "popular" than the rest of the world does.

    There are 3 or 4 Korn album covers that should have been on there…
