Da Fan in Japan Reputation: 98 Level: Superstar Since: Oct 29, 2007	Posted on: May 18, 2008 5:12 pm Score: 93 The Finals -Holy smokes, Yank- It's been a "long and winding road", hasn't it? Finals: The Beatles (1) vs. ~~Pink Floyd (6)~~ -I love Floyd, but I love The Beatles more. On top of that, who was the bigger influence? Anyways, I spilled a few beans on the topic earlier- I'll just say that The Beatles, IMO, were easily the greatest band in the history of rock, with all due respect to the tons of other fantastic bands that I also love., including Pink Floyd.. The Beatles were tha bomb- 40 years later, much of their stuff remains as timeless now as it was when it was written... An amazing feat of songcraft... Eric Clapton (1) vs. ~~Bruce Springsteen (2)~~ -I'm definitely going with my favorite of the two here. The Boss was a great songwriter, but I think that guys like Dylan, Neil Young, Jackson Browne and others had alredy laid the groundwork for him. Slowhand (on the other hand), was one of the true originals in rock- possibly (and certainly at least one of) the first white guy to become a virtuoso blues player, and take it to a white audience, and then take the blues lead playing sensibility and apply it to rock.... His influence on music is probably on a par with The Boss, but instumentally, EC is hands down one of the all-time greats... Gotta go with him in this case... [ Reply to Comment ]

About What's On My Mind

Well I have picked a new topic that everybody has an opinion on, The Boob Tube. I am sure I will see many shows listed here that I forgot about and a few I wish I could forget. There is no right or wrong answer here. It is just about what shows you couldn't wait to see, the ones you talked about with your friends or co-workers or were sad to see go off the air. I hope when you see the shows listed it brings back fond memories.
