Dylan's through, tied with The Clash for the most positive votes but he only received 3 negatives!

Up next from the shizz Jackhammer

Pink Floyd




I could go into huge detail about this band but almost everybody knows who they are and probably own something by them. They have spent a staggering 700+ weeks on the billboard charts but ask the average joe what they look like and they wouldn't have a clue. They have never thrust their politics down anyones throat and are notoriously media wary.

Their album covers alone are works of art and for better or worse they have been instrumental in pushing production quality to the max.

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is better than Sgt. Peppers (released in the same year) with the opening track still sounding extraordinary after 40 years.

David Gilmour is a superlative guitarist and Roger Waters was a brilliant lyricist. Syd Barrett's influence is still heard today in guitar based pop music. Oh and David Gilmour sold one of his houses a few years ago and gave all the money to shelter- a homeless charity (a cool

Warrant frontman Jani Lang once said he could kill himself for writing Cherry Pie.

I would too, because there's no way I could follow up a brilliant piece of songwriting like that.

I'm not sure what I'm going to vote for Beethoven. Yes, he is an incredible and influential musician, but I've never really deeply gotten into him, and I've never really heard him talked about on rab - and it is the rab hall of fame. I've always preferred Mozart. I'll have to think about this.

I have a distinct memory of sitting down at the lunch table on one of the first days of 6th grade school year:

My friend had this image taped to his binder

and I was immediately fascinated.

This was during the heyday of the PMRC, the crusade against vulgarity in popular music led by the wife of that guy who was Bill Clinton's VP. The Beastie Boys got hit and put in the same dirty class as Prince and W.A.S.P. by the PMRC because they brandished an enormous inflatable penis onstage or something. Anyway Fight For Your Right was a radio hit at about the time that I got my first radio and the song made a big impression on me. To say the least, it's a fun album - I still listen to it occasionally.

Paul's Boutique is, of course, good and I was pleasantly surprised that the BB had gone from being a flash-in-the-pan novelty to a respectable hip-hop act. I didn't really listen to the album seriously until years later but when I did it stuck. Check Your Head was another surprising step up in a way. I was living in a college dorm when So What'cha Want hit big and I consequently drank much cheap beer along with nonstop infusions of marijuana while this album played in the background. Also, around this time I learned that the band could actually play instruments (they were a godawful hardcore punk band, though) and they could play funky jams that were so much hipper than those of actual jam-banRAB. I'll Communication was also surprisingly good. By this time I expected them to lose steam but they hadn't. All the later albums go downhill to me but I still own them. There's always at least one or two good songs on their worse albums.

Yes

I have the CD album ripped at 192 kbps and yeah, it's pretty damn lo-fi. Not unlike most other hardcore recordings at the time to be fair though.
