Really glad BeeD put Zeppelin above the Beatles!

[blackmoses]

And by the way Dan and Tim, when I said Matthews Band is above the Beatles on my list of FAVORITE bands why did you two absolutely flip out on me and not on BeeD?

[criterionmaster]

Okay, first off, stop capitalizing the "D" in beed; it looks stupid, like you are trying to be funny. It's his name; you don't need to remind him the "D" is there or something. And second off, maybe that’s because beed was listening to DMB years before you were, saw them live multiple times, has basically every one of their CD's, belongs to a DMB fan club site thing, worships them, and so on. So I can see how he would like them more, but you having on heard two CD's and songs off of other ones doesn't really let you rank it over the best band ever. So when you love a band as much as beed loves DMB, then I can let it slide, but even his rankings change but his list doesn't move around like yours does. First The Beatles are at number "late teens" and now they are number 4, this is suppose to be a favorite list of bands, not something you change every second. Please don’t respond with something stupid.

[blackmoses]

Alright well lets see how many Beatles songs I have herd. I have herd ONE CD. Rubber Soul and only thought it was GOOD, plus I have herd Beatles One. I have herd three Dave Matthew band's CD's and a bunch of other songs I have downloaded of there's. I have seen them live and it was the best thing I have ever seen!! I overrate them constantly and talk about them all the time. So I think I like Dave Matthews Band more. I know Beatles are obviously the better band by far. I love the Beatles but just not enough as you think I should. You act like I HATE the Beatles because I don't have them number one.

[captainofbeef]

If you have heard only ONE Beatles album, you are sadly deprived my friend.

[blackmoses]

Yeah, I have only herd Rubber Soul and like 30 of their songs that are not on that album. I would buy the White Album but it costs to much. I want it really bad!

Its favorites, not best or most influential, so if you see James Brown at 248 and get pissed off, its not cause I think a band like Mr Bungle is a better musical artist then the Brown, I just enjoy them more. Order after 100 really doesn't matter all that much anyway. So are you happy now Joel?

Its totally worth it. I will burn it for you just so you can see how amazing it is.

[captainofbeef]

Damn it. I knew I would do that somewhere. Yes at 90 replaced with John Lee Hooker.

[ie]

Myself, I capitalize the "D" in the BeeDster because I like how it looks. It also looks like SeeD, which is a Final Fantasy 8 term, a game I don't have glowing nostalgia for, but the SeeD concept was one of the few things I liked about the game.


I don't have a handy list myself, because I'm more interested in the movies than the music right now, so, yeah.

[captainofbeef]

I only did the list because I was asked to and it will help music noobies, like Blackmoses and Criterionmaster, to get into new bands. I usually don't like to rank bands because it is nearly impossible for me. I made a song list a while back, I looked back at it and really disliked some of the choices I made. Music is more a week to week thing and my music lists fluctuate like crazy over the course of a few months.

I myself do not like the name Beed and I wish people would just call me Beef or Captain or even by my real name, Chris. But if you have to.....

[ie]

I really like the name BeeD myself, but I could probably live with the Captain or something.


I like Yes as well, even if a friend of mine loves them much more than I do.

[blackmoses]

Elvis Costello is so low! I can't belive he isn't above the Gorillaz and I can't belive you even like the Gorillaz.

[captainofbeef]

Your musical opinion doesn't matter to me. Plus, like I said, the rankings after about 100 don't really matter. 100-250 is sort of a conglomeration of bands and artists that I really like.

[blackmoses]

And your opinion doesn't matter to me. That doesn't mean I can't give my opinion.

[captainofbeef]

No, it doesn't mean you can't give it. But I'm gonna say as a fact that I know more about music than you, so it would behoove you to give my opinion some consideration. By the way, howmuch Elvis Costello have you heard?? Which albums?

Once again, I encourage the spell check feature.

[captainofbeef]

Yea, its pretty pointless. But someone has to do it.

[blackmoses]

Well I really have no reason for giving your opinion any consideration.

[blackmoses]

We are not fighting about them sucking. I could really care less if you think they are the worst band ever created.

[captainofbeef]

blackmoses said:

Well I really have no reason for giving your opinion any consideration.

You have no reason??? Well, for starters in the past when I have given you recommendations, such as, "Why don't you go see DMB," its has led to you discovering one of your favorite bands. So, why don't you pick up one of the bands on my extensive list and give them a listen. Rather than complaining about Elvis Costello being at 200 or whatever number he is at because, for the 12th time, the numbers after 100 don't really matter.

[blackmoses]

Acctually you never showed me Matthews Band. You told me Matisyahu is playing so I had to go. I only went to that concert becasue Matisyahu was their. I never even herd of Dave MAtthews Band. But then when I herd them live I happen to love them.

[captainofbeef]

Well, you don't like metal. People who like metal find that Iron Maiden are one of the best bands of all time. You can't deny The Number of the Beast man, c'mon.

I told you from the start that DMB would be better than Matisyahu and you kept saying that there was no way that was possible. But when you went, you agreed with me.

Jesus Joel, spell check!

[captainofbeef]

I told you so.

[blackmoses]

You said you recommended me DMB.

I don't use spell check.

Oh please, don't list me with Joel as a noobie to music. Just because I like stuff you call crap, my music knowledge is well beyond his. But either way, I am much more the movie man.

You do know much more about music than the idiot does, but you are still a music noobie to me. ;D
