  1. I have a Samsung galaxy core prime phone that I use to this day, bought it 4 years ago for under a hundred and it does everything I want it to. Youtube, text, phone, games, pics, radio etc. It does have a battery that can be removed so that is a plus. I know of no one who has had a problem with a LG phone so?

     

    Have heard nothing but good from the BLU phones so that might be a decent option. At this point in time, like TV's, they all seem to be using the same parts but just in different configurations.

    Thanks for all the advice everyone! I'm feeling better about attending.

    We may be leaving for Orlando right after the game. but in case we stay another night, is there a Bills bar in or near Miami? It might be fun to hook up with fans after the game.

    I don't know if you are into hockey but this is a pretty solid 4 days:

     

    Thu 11/29 Sabres at Lightning 
    Fri 11/30 Sabres at Panthers
    Sun 12/2 Bills at Dolphins

    Ah Jesus, I just bought an LG this weekend.

    Ive always had a Samsung, but decided to try the LG this time.

     

    So, are you saying I should just throw it away?

     

    I thought your people would have taken care of this for you... this is weird.

    1976 Dodge Coronet Custom, bought off my parents for $500

    Mine was green not blue, but had the white landau top.

    Nice. I had one the same color as in your pic with the white top but  was a 75, bought it in the early 80's for $800... some dude that owned a beverage castle (drive through beer, pop, chips, etc kind of place) had it parked next to the entrance with a for sale sign.

     

    Funny this car was brought up, 3' away on the top computer desk shelf she put a pic of me and her leaning up against it, the back of the photo says 1982. And I had hair back then.

    I don't get why the Aerosmith version gets more airplay than the original. It isn't bad per se. But there's nothing new about it. They didn't do anything that the Beatles already did on the original. It's not like Proud Mary by Tina Turner, or All Along the Watchtower from Hendrix, which are covers, but completely different. They didn't bring anything new to the table with it.

    Dave Mason did it right.

  6. We always call them flats and bats... like a mini baseball bat I suppose.  I like both as long as they are done right. Down here in Florida a lot of places serve them swimming in "sauce"... yow.

     

    Marie's chunky bleu cheese finishes it off if I make them at home, don't care really if I have celery with them, if so fine... if not fine.

    Want to feel old?

     

    Consider that someone who is too young to remember the shuttle Challenger tragedy is now pushing 40 years old.

     

     

    I vividly remember that day...I was in my twenties. We were unloading a semi flat of building materials when it went up, the Island Center in Tampa. It was a clear day and when I and my crew were watching most all of us exclaimed at the same time that something was wrong. All it took was good binoculars from that far away, just such a clear day. Could actually see it without them too, just not as high def.

    This was the last photo ever taken of Freddy Mercury.  Did he always dress like a dweeb when he wasn't in the spotlight?

    Greatest voice in rock history.

     

    Image result for Freddie mercury last photo

    This I disagree with... Eric Burdon, Roger Daltry, Jack Bruce, Ozzy, etc. were/are way better rock singers. Bruce could do the falsetto thing to... just a matter of opinion though. queen did a lot of pop stuff.

    Honestly, as much as I love the Stones, around the late 70s, early 80s, basically after Some Girls, they became a parody of themselves. I don't hate their later stuff. But it kind of feels like they said "Well, this is what sells. This is what the Rolling Stones sound like." Then stopped experimenting or trying anything new. Exception is their most recent album. It was all blues covers, and some songs you barely know it's them on some tracks. Sounds like something straight out of Chess Records.

    Same here, after Some Girls I couldn't listen any more so that would be the line for me too.

     

    Another band that comes directly to mind is Genesis. After Gabriel left (if you are going to head out make it a masterpiece, the Lamb is just that) they should have changed the name to "The group formerly known as Genesis" or, the Phil Collins Pop Machine. I can handle A trick of the tail and wind and wuthering because it was mostly work that had already been written and sort of flowed in the same vein, but after that, yuck.

    I love the Beatles and the Stones, though I give the Stones a slight nod.  The Beatles advantage as songwriters comes, in part from the fact that they started writing earlier, and their history as a band was very short, in comparison to the Stones.  They are very different kinds of bands.  I won't argue that Jagger-Richards are better songwriters than Lennon-McCartney, but I would argue that Lennon-McCartney never wrote anything as inspired as "Gimmie Shelter" or "Monkey Man".  I'd put the Stones output from Beggars Banquet- Goat Head Soup up against the Beatles best.  

    This. They are,as are most great groups. Still, something like Ruby Tuesday is similar imo. Kinks had "similar" stuff too.

    I get annoyed when people say I can’t complain about heat in the summer and cold in the winter.  I have to pick one or the other to complain about, not both.

    Bullpoop.  If it’s above 80 or below 40, I’m complaining.  End of story.

    Pick winter then, you can always put more on but when it's hot you can only take so much off, until you are arrested.

    The combination of musical talent and songwriting is why Rush is the greatest rock band ever.  Geddy Lee #1 bassist.  Neil Peart #1 drummer.  Alex Lifeson probably top 10 but underrated.


    Good band for sure, my first concert ever... at the Aud, but no to everything you said about them.

    Everyone is different when it comes to this sort of thing.

     

    Heat and sunshine don't bother me.  I love the summertime.  

     

    A Buffalo winter?  That **** would kill me these days.

     

     

    Not really either of these, its the humidity. I'm rolling on a dew point of 77 right now, as soon as you walk outside you feel like you are in a sauna.

    Oh, I'm not talking about songwriting.  Not at all.

     

    I'm strictly talking about guitar.  If given 10 minutes, I think I could list 100 better guitarists.  That doesn't mean they're bigger rock stars or had more influence.

    Better doesn't exactly mean better imo. Its the style of the band... I mean, Robert Fripp is a great guitar player but he wouldn't have worked well in the Who vision  just like Townsend wouldn't have worked well in the King Crimson vision.

     

    I personally think Frank Zappa is the greatest rock guitarist ever but everyone has theirs I suppose.

     

    Back in the 60's I would put Mick Avery Way ahead of Ringo as far as drumming is concerned with the British invasion bands. Baker too. But, its all about what was needed for a particular style and sound.

    Oh, I have to respectfully disagree, on this one.  The Jimi Hendrix Experience was stacked with talent.  Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell were two of the best at their respective instruments.

     

    I think even Who, Stones and Beatles fans would agree that those bands lacked all-around talent.

     

    None of those bands had a top-tier guitarist.  Ringo was a "good," drummer, as was Watts.  Bill Wyman was a very good bassist, but not "one of the best."

     

    They made their sounds together, which is what made them such awesome bands.  But the Experience (and the Band of Gypsies, for that matter), were not just Hendrix's backup musicians; they were masters at their crafts.

    I don't think there is a weak link in the Who... 3 crack musicians and a singer who played a little harmonica or tambourine.

    Oops, that should be I wouldn't change a thing, not would. I would never think of skipping the one's I don't care for, not even Mr. Moonlight.

    You may be the only person I'm aware of to listen to Yellow Submarine from start to finish...

  17. I've always had a soft spot for the first one (Veejay records), A taste of honey still gives me goosebumps... but the whole album is great.

     

    Same with Beatles 65 and Yesterday and Today... mid albums with great stuff that sometimes gets overlooked in their catalog.

     

    Yellow Submarine is so much George Martin that I almost don't consider it a Beatles album.
