I've done a lot of thinking on the matter and I think that the best music of all time can be found on Jock Jams 1998.

no

PS: I hope this thread was a joke.

By Radiostar (Radiostar) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 07:38 pm: Edit

This is wrong, because Jock Jams 1998 lacks anything by Avril Lavigne, the only modern poetess to rival Shakespeare in nuance of language.

Come on, Jock Jams 1998 soooo does not compare to the WWF soundtrack. What were you thinking?

But, seriously, this thread made me laugh so hard. Thanks for that!

how could you forget the Kidz Bop series?

The White Stripes are the Beatles of our day and have surpassed them in every way imaginable.

By Ecismyhome (Ecismyhome) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 09:01 pm: Edit

After much meditation, I would support the theory of Radiostar. However, I must add a corollary: Not only does Jock Jams 1998 lack the sweet siren call of Ms. Lavigne, but it is also noticeably lacking the lyrical prowess of one Frederick Durst.

By Radiostar (Radiostar) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 09:02 pm: Edit

That's completely wrong, the Beatles had six bandmembers and the White Strips only have three. It's mathematically impossible.

rrrright........

(to the poster who said the White Stripes "surpassed" the Beatles)

I do understand sarcasm, really I do...

If Odysseus had attempted to sail back to his Penelope in these modern times, he would *never* have been able to resist the enchanting lilt of the goddess formerly known as Avril Lavigne.

Remember that.

Oh Avril's good, but I think that we can all agree that Britney is timeless. Like Bach or Mozart, Brit's music will outlive us all.

By Ecismyhome (Ecismyhome) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 09:26 pm: Edit

The White Stripes have 3? ::confused::

By Allena (Allena) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 10:28 pm: Edit

White Stripes only have 2 band members.
They've got Meg White on drums, and a guy (not sure his name) playing guitar and on vocals.

Not a big of the White Stripes. I saw them play the KROQ Weenie Roast last June. I had been in the pit for a few hours (was in there during both Sum 41 and Staind) and decided to leave during them. But I do gotta give them props, it's impressive seeing a 2 member band come out on stage.

And for the sake of argument, Avril owns Britney

By Ecismyhome (Ecismyhome) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 10:31 pm: Edit

Meg White and Jack White. They're, sarcasm aside, pretty sweet. I like the simplicity of their music, though sometimes it does wear on the ears - one wants a little more than repetitive, rhythmic drumming and a three-cord riff. It's kind of like punk, though, in the old days - rebelling against the overproduction and popularisation of rock music.

I would consider them to be superior to Sum-41 and Staind, but that's just me.

By Cynicalkarma626 (Cynicalkarma626) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 10:39 pm: Edit

Like, oh my god, Allena did so not just diss Britney. I might have to go all Ani Difranco on your ass (angry feminist style).

Anyway...I need sleep...or an addiction specialist...college confidential is addicting

LOL U THINK BRITTNAY IS BETTR THEN AVRIL U SUK

Besides. Christina Aguilera pwnz them all. She may be a trashy ho, but she's got a nice voice.

By Demonllama (Demonllama) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 10:56 pm: Edit

i love this thread.

By Windslicer_Ib (Windslicer_Ib) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 11:03 pm: Edit

Agreed, Christina pwns all, followed by Avril.

By Ecismyhome (Ecismyhome) on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 - 11:04 pm: Edit

I think we may therefore establish a hierarchy of these sultry singing sirens:
1. Christina
2. Avril
3. Britney
4. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
And that, is that.

By Mparking (Mparking) on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 06:21 pm: Edit

You kids are nuts.

You completely forgot about Mr. Timberlake and the rest of N'SYNC. Or did they die like the Backstreet Boys?


(But from our time I'd seriously name Radiohead, White Stripes, and Outkast among the ranks).

By Altsuperhero (Altsuperhero) on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 10:32 pm: Edit

(befuddled)

whoa ... Mparking ... WTF

Double-U Tea Eff?

Are we forgetting someone here?
Please, let's pay tribute to the SPICE GIRLS.

so tell me whatcha want, whatcha really really want...

By Allena (Allena) on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 10:55 pm: Edit

Well if you're already going to the Spice Girls, how about Hanson?

The scary thing, it's amazing how many younger kids have no clue as to who the Spice Girls are now. It's only been a little bit since they were huge, or at least it seems that way.

By Vegangirl (Vegangirl) on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 11:32 pm: Edit

oh yeah, hanson. good times...

By Ecismyhome (Ecismyhome) on Saturday, April 17, 2004 - 12:03 am: Edit
