Blue Oyster Cult's black and white trilogy, bitches.

G nailed it with "Calling Dr. Love". What an absurdly stupid yet undeniably awesome tune. "God of Thunder" is another great one I forgot about.

Take out the pimp and bigfoot and you're probably closer to the mark.

Did teenagers of the 70s love KISS, or was it just us kids? Besides the Beatles, I thought KISS was the coolest band to exist ever when I was 7 years old, and this was before I had even heard a single one of their songs. There was a demon AND an alien in that band, for fucksake.

David, there's truth to some of what you say, and KISS are hardly even the tenth best hard/glam rock band of the 70s, but "Strutter", "Deuce", "Rock and Roll All Nite", "Calling Dr. Love", "Detroit Rock City", and the album covers of Love Gun and Destroyer exist…and those things are inarguably awesome. This is fact.

So the Simpsons movie was actually good and the Futurama movies sucked? I'm confused why this is so.

No, Aerosmith went extinct in the late-70s. Everything else has been an elaborate prank.

"The Demon-Haunted World" is a great Sagan book if you want to see him take the piss out of religion and the supernatural. Insightful and fiercely logical without being mean-spirited.

I could never get into Gentle Giant. I liked the first album OK, but they were just too…gentle. That coming from a genre not well known for macho posturing and bucketloads of testosterone. Maybe I'm missing the stuff that "really rock(s)"…point me in the right direction.

I think making the point that no one can help her or bring her son back is more effective and ultimately makes a more powerful statement. If Michael goes in for the comfort hug on camera, it might come off dishonest and self-aggrandizing. See, only Michael is willing to help!

lazerguided, you must be the mirror universe version of me, because I like pretty much everything the Velvets did except "Sister Ray". Do you have a goatee and laugh in a sinister fashion?

I love A Ghost is Born way, way more than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and part of me can't even explain why. Even the feedback chaos of "Less Than You Think" is just a beautiful build of…something. Why the fuck do I like it so much?

Warren…we get it. You don't like prog. No one but you has stated prog is "full of amazing musicians as opposed to amazing songs." It does have amazing songs, especially to those that…you know…fucking like it. But please feel free to continue stupidly slapping an inappropriate label on an entire genre of music. You…

I don't want to live in a world where one of the rules is "no drum solos". That's like some bleak fascist Eraserhead universe with no chocolate or unicycles or sex.

"Sister Ray" is not the greatest rock jam of all time, because that would have to be performed by musicians that could, you know, actually jam. I love the Velvets, but anything over 8 minutes gets a bit tedious with their inept noodling. Their musical ability ranged from medicore to downright miserable (I'm looking at…

Ed's in this, Katey's in Futurama…who knew Married With Children had this kind of talent?

…but we have plenty of knuckle-dragging government bureaucrats with simian IQs. Rimshot, please.

Please don't misstate the Bachelor Chow slogan: Now With Flavor!

Yeah, but I don't remember you being there checkin' my junk out. Stop looking already.
