A purely subjective post IMO, but interesting and entertaining nonetheless...

Loved hearing Bonzo... it's been a while..

1. why do rock stars

feel bare chests make them sexy?

3. Yeah, I never understood that, either

especially since the younger ones look like picked chickens when they do it.

Just think, without all those skinny chest flashing hair bands, we might not have had to see Putin without a shirt. I could have lived a much happier life without seeing that.

2. Baba O'Reilly

The who get p.o.'d when people refer to it as "Teenage Wasteland". Duh...

6. That entry set off my internet pedantry rage

It's named after the experimental/minimalist composer Terry Riley, not some random roadie. The keyboard intro (along with a lot of the stuff that Robert Fripp and Brian Eno were doing around the same time) is heavily inspired by works like "A Rainbow in Curved Air."

4. I see Robert Plant's first 3 albums in honorable mention

I can agree with a lot of those titles - probably expand it out to his first 5 or 6 solo albums. And now I've got one of the decent titles, Slow Dancer, stuck in my head.

5. I disagree on "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

That is a remarkly clever title for a song.
