yes, if you have absolutely no ability to tell crap from brilliant material for yourself. furthermore the time-tested appeal you speak of, is appeal to the MASSES which are also inept at this task. popularity criteria imposes a requirement that the subject matter must be understood by people of sub-100 IQ. otherwise you're throwing away half your potential market. thats why all the retardo movies like James Bond make so much money. i am not trying to say IQ has anything to do with ability to appreciate music, so lets just say we're talking about your "MUSIC IQ" that follows the same bell curve distribution. what if you have over 130 ? why should you settle for what's popular ?
lol alain, your stupidity really strikes me. Are you from Quebec or something? You can't judge a song's lyrics by simply taking out one line and analyzing it. Wanna know what I think are deep lyrics? Something that's deep as a whole, not just one line that attempts to sound cool by using big words or that talks about how shitty the guy's life is. Ah, by the way, it's LED ZEPPELIN, not NIRVANA, smart guy.
Some songs that I really like a lot -- "The Family and the Fishing Net" - Peter Gabriel "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" - Beatles "Sugar Mountain" - Neil Young "She's An Angel" - They Might Be Giants "Can't Stand Losing You" - The Police "I Need A Man" - Eurythmics "Babylon Sisters" - Steely Dan Esoteric, your avatar is great! Glaucon, my fave Van Halen tune has got to be "Hot For Teacher." I wouldn't list it in my top 10, but it's nice to see Madness' "Our House" make someone's list. It's also nice to see so much classic rock, which makes up the vast majority of my record collection.
Toni Childs: House of Hope The Cult: King Contrary Man Bryan Ferry: Love Me Madly Again Alison Moyet: Footsteps Joan Osborne: St. Teresa Shakira: Ojos Asi Sisters of Mercy: This Corrosion Patti Smith: Ain't It Strange Television: Elevation The Who: Won't Get Fooled Again

Ah, by the way, it's LED ZEPPELIN, not NIRVANA, smart guy. yep, and your fucking racism strikes me, piss off well im sorry, next time i will flood the forum with entire crappy 17 minute long songs, and make some poor people read them all. i am not cruel enuf to try to force people to read your crap lyrics oh no, the world is going to end, the crap song is by led zepelin (not in caps btw) ill make up for my mistake by going and smoking 10KG of pot, to be more like led zepelin
yeah, crap is easily detected. however i don't think the same applies to "brilliant material" except for some truly unmistakeable cases. i have a 138 iq, perhaps i would mozart-like iq in order to immediately distiguish rock and roll classics. by the way, the meaning of the word classic(which i've used in all my posts) strictly requires a reasonable time to have passed in order to acquire some perspective.
precisely because popularity is not a criteria, there'es no such thing as an instant classic. by the way alain you said behind blue eyes in an oasis original. actually it's from the who.
lol... Stairway to Heaven a "crap song"? I tend to disagree, it is a genre-defining statement. By posting that you thought this song was nirvana shows that you have no respect for the song or the artists who created it.
OK. How about "Pissin' in a River" by Patti Smith? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Pretty much everything on London Calling is awesome, but "Death or Glory" is an absolutely perfect rock song, with one of the best guitar riffs ever written. For pure rock, you can't go wrong with AC/DC ("Ride On,"), Guns N' Roses ("Mr. Brownstone,") or the Stones ("Paint it Black.")
