@Hooroo John Frus?

If thats who you mean, 100% agree.

[Hooroo]

@MajorRage Yes, damn talking about Foos too much! John F

[MajorRage]

@Hooroo Yeah, it's crazy. Chad Smith - unbelievable drummer, Flea, incredible bass player - one of the best ever. Yet, without Frusciante, they don't seem to be able to groove. Odd.

[Hooroo]

and his harmonies are awesome with Keidis. I think I love "Can't Stop" just becasuse of the harmony

@MajorRage
Top 5 RHCP songs?

Magic Johnson
Good Time Boys
Suck My Kiss
Can't Stop
Fight Like a Brave

When Dani Califonia was released and I heard and saw it the first time on MTV in London, I couldn't beleive they could keep cranking out such amazing songs.... and that's where it stopped.

[Toddy]

Lightning Crashes. Fucken terrible song.

[mariner4life]

@Toddy fuuuuuck the is a shiiiit song. blurgh. And again, I quite like the rest of Throwing Copper. Maybe because it was a staple of every Tauranga pub band in the 90s?

[Tim]

Bohemian Rhapsody. Theatrical, twee garbage, like most of Queen's music.

[MajorRage]

@Hooroo good question ... i'll write what I think now and then edit it 500 times as I think of others over the day.

I could have lied
Around the world
Venice queen
Parallel universe
Desecration smile

and 2 honourable mentions ...

instrumental at the end of Sir Psycho Sexy.
Fire - but only when played live.

[mariner4life]

Sikamikanico
Suck My Kiss
Subway to Venus
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Higher Ground (counts)

[Hooroo]

Somebody's fixin for a kickin.

Of course there are some shit Queen songs, especially their movie ones (Flash, Highlander). Bicycle Race is also horrendous (awesome video though!). But damn their volume of hits is farking impressive.

I love old 80s rock, and picked up Van Halens greatest hits years ago. Unfortunately the songs that everyone knows, e.g. Jump, Dreams, Why Cant this be Love are their only decent bloody songs. The start of Ain't Talkin bout love is cool but the song itself sucks. Panama is also farking awful. In fact 80% of that album was just shit.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Good lord, I've just spotted a rare Van Hagar fan in the wild.

[mariner4life]

@Rancid-Schnitzel Panama is shit? mother fucker i swear to god...

Steady on now. I like a grand total of 3 of their songs. That doesn't even make me fair-weather. As I said, the vast bulk of their stuff is turd burger material.

I would however note that EVH was pretty bloody talented.
