8Ball & M.J.G.???

Scarface, maybe???

T.I.???

Sorry, we're from slightly different generations and I'm not feelin any of those cats you mentioned.

I remember when Hip Hop was the Black CNN, the shit coming from GA, TX, FL, MO, and everywhere else is like the Black Home Shopping Network.

I don't mind a boast here and there, but what about some relevant issues, angst about the condition of our cities, education system, morale decay?

All this shit about big asses, rims, jewelry, just doesn't compute with me. Might be showing my age, but shit is shit, and although not everybody from NYC, and CAli are doing much better these days I don't understand WTF these clowns in the rest of the country are talking about.

Westside! :cool:

That's funny. I never liked Chicken Shack before when 8-10 years ago my friends all tried to get me into them. Now, after giving them a chance finally, they have grown on me. Their shows are actually quite fun. I don't think they should retire at all.

Any band (whether we like them or not) who still has the passion to create music should continue to do so. You don't have to listen if you don't want to. I'm sure there are plenty of die-hards that still want to hear them play. Besides, their drummer is a beast!

I turned up seeing them either last weekend or the weekend before, I forget. Someone asked me to go to this restaurant, Capital Ale House, and when we got there, JCS was playing. It was so infuriating.

Their live show still completely kills and packs the house. If the fans like it, as clearly we do by buying up tons of tickets, then why should anyone else care?

This is kinda a stupid topic, because I'm sure the same applies for most bands mentioned.

Well I was only partially serious, as this isn't really a serious topic, people retire when they're worn out or in the case of musicians when people stop showing up for their shows or buying their discs.

Everyone can and should do whatever the hell they want for a living, and I'm ok with that I can control my own situation to avoid what I don't like, but they are taking up valuable space on the calendars of venues in the area.

But if we can quarantine them to Annapolis, then I'm good with that. ;)

Damn you. I've already got one who should retire… I don't want ALL of the shit.

Beastie Boys

van halen (david's voice is lost, and the wolfgang album/credit debacle killed the image)

dead kennedys (if jello comes back, then all is good)

nin (the last album; need we say more?)

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!

velvet revolver.

uh oh , we hit a sore spot.

i'm waiting for someone to say Radiohead, but then again i am not sure they are still together!

Every band that played Virgin Fest should retire immediately, except Spoon. They should play the 9:30 Club and then retire.

That's my point - anyone you say, it's going to be a sore spot to their fans. The only way you can say a band SHOULD retire is if NO ONE comes to their shows anymore. If people are still coming out, the band should quit because other people aren't coming anymore? Huh?
