Can we at least agree that GNR was better than every band Duque mentioned?

Depends if we take into account the current state of Guns 'N Roses.  :P
Despite taking pride in decadence, Mötley Crüe has not degenerated to such a low point yet.  :D

I evaluate any band on their best work, basically.

That makes sense to me, since I just don't listen to their crap anyway.

So if GnR put out a bunch of sclock later, or if they such in their reunion, it doesn't really matter to me.

Incidentally, shouldn't we have some for of poll for bands/videos that appeared on MTV, to mark the passing of that golden era and explain to the younguns here what it was about?

No.  Fuck young people.  It would just bounce off their autism.

In 1983, it was Def Leppard's Pyromania that kept hard rock at the top of the MTV rotation, when it was drowning in Michael Jacksonian squalor; they were one of the hard rock bands that intentionally edged itself into MTV.  They weren't showing a whole lot of Dio or Ozzy, you know.

I despised Def Leppard's subsequent bullshit--particularly the album that never ended, Hysteria--but the Pyromania album was great, and perfect for 1983.

Yeah, I wasn't dissing them, that album was great for what is was and as you say it's time. But I think some of the other albums from the era have stood the test of time better.

Who here would we be explaining it to?  Do we even have people here under 30?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

One or two, maybe.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Tyr would make a good stand-in.  :D

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Because you are liberal.  Duh!

Seeing a black guy bothers conservatives, so they assume it bothers liberals.
