What am I thankful for?

You are a robot.

I agree with that. Although, I'd take votes for "Imagine", too.

Can't even agree on that. The worst movie EVER is a toss up between "Rushmore" and "The Big Labowskie". The worst song is probably Blood Sweat and Tears that begins, "Hello, It's me……"

Who is "insisting" that it "last forever?" It's done a pretty good job at staying around without anyone forcing anything…if it's good, it will just stay.

I mean if you look at a music tracking site like last.fm, which I think is an excellent indicator of what younger music fans are listening to, the Beatles have 66 million plays while Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance have 29 and 27 million plays respectively.

Did anyone "insist" that The Beatles get so many listeners, or did it just happen because they happen to be a band that people like?

To get us back on topic, I'm thankful for boobs, Baby Ruth candy bars, my 2 mile commute to work, and getting RickRoll'd.

In three years maybe, in 33…not a fucking chance….my case in point, you didn't even list Nirvana who were supposed to be the saviours, and they slipped your mind.

You said specifically that no one would remember any 90's bands in "the 10s even." That's three years from now. And the fact I didn't list ALL the bands that show your hyperbole isn't a credit to your argument.

Your entire premise is idiotic and curmudgeonly. The same way there's a handful of 1960's bands who are relevant now, there will be a handful of 1990's band who are relevant in 2030. Just because you don't like something or think it's important doesn't mean you speak for the rest of the world.

I may kill you. I adore that movie.

Yours or someone else's?

Speaking of which, I rate as a "Technical Achievement of 2007" seeing a computer version of a nude Angelina Jolie….in 3-D…on an IMAX screen.

And the fact you consider the Beastie Boys relevant then, now or in the future goes beyond idiotic, it's moronic.

I'm not a BB fan, and never have been, but I'm not so delusional to think the fact I dislike them overrides the fact they sell out any shed they play in.

I acutally like "Rushmore." I like that movie's attitude. Man, we are polar opposites, Mr. Walrus.

So, I guess it's…

Hey, the Beasties Boys were innovative! They're important. They are a thousand times more relevant than Morrissey and The Smiths! and I'm not even that big a fan! But to go from "Cookie Puss" and "Paul Revere" to "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" to "Sabotage" is impressive. Much love to the Beastie Boys. Even I'll admit that.

Exactly my question.

I'm thankful for people who don't sign their name to every post, the sun, and an early Christmas present: marathon viewing of "My So-Called Life".

What a tool!

1. Now, or at least soon there will be a entire generation of young people who have never heard of The Beatles, John Lennon, any "classic rock" and the entire Rolling Stone magazine generation of cultural imperialism will die a swift but very PAINFUL death.

2. Soon all the baby boomers with either be dead or incapacitated by hip replacements, knee replacements and/or the medical insurance not covering Viagra.

3. I was able to pick up the deluxe, limited-edition version of "Infinity on High" at Circuit City for $9.99 and just ordered the 180 gram audiophile vinyl special edition of "The Black Parade" that comes in a slip-case box, with 2 - 15 page books and 2 triple gatefold sleeves.

It makes the perfect gift.

Iâ??m thankful for Sprint and Verizon, Google, Microsoft and Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Apple, YouTube and YouPorn, fuel-efficient cars, DirecTV, Slingbox, Guitar Hero, The Economist, The Champagne of Beers, and a red wine with some dirt to it. Ohâ?¦and all my fans out there - I LOVE YOU ALL!

I can't tell if you're being sincere or ironic.

For there to be rock these days there has to be classic rock, which will always be around. If it's been around for 50 or 60 years it ain't goin' away. They're all just selling their songs to crappy commercials.

I'm thankful Kim Kardashian's in Playboy this month.
