The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

In no particular order:
1. The Beatles. You may have heard of them.
2. Jimi Hendrix. Kind of a slacker, though.
3. The Who. Did a show or two, they were supposedly Ok.
4. The Ramones.
5. Nirvana. Did the Stones spawn an entire genre? I can't remember.
6. The Doors. Who was their lead singer again?
7. U2. I hate them, but they seem to be financially viable.
8. The Grateful Dead. 20 years ain't got s**t on them.
9. Metallica. Hell, they made a bunch of money and have been around 20 years.
10. The Eagles.
You're right, though. The Stones are the best band EVAH!!!!11!
So are you arguing that some band WAS more influential or not in 20 years, or in the last 20 years.

The point being there are plenty of bands before the Drones, and plenty after, who did more for music. Some that also made a s**t-pot of money, some with even better staying power, etc.
