What to do next?

Even though I've already changed the title of this blog, I think an ongoing thing I want to begin is a RANT and RAVE of certain songs by classic artists - one famous song of theirs that deserves its claim in the hall of rock n' roll history and one famous song that, well, sucks.

I've been thinking of some classic bands/artists that I can begin with (shown below), but feel free to comment and add your suggestions!!!

  • Tom Petty (solo and The Heartbreakers)
  • Bruce Springsteen (solo and E Street Band/other various compilation, collaboration albums)
  • Queen
  • The Beatles (I guess I could also do solo songs from Lennon and McCarthy -the other two would be boring)
  • The Rolling Stones
  • The Eagles
  • U2
  • The Who
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • The Jackson 5 (lol-could I come up with a RAVE for this one????)
  • Led Zeppelin
  • Pink Floyd
  • Lynyrd Skynyrd
  • Journey

    You might not be able to come up with a RAVE for Jackson 5, but you could come up with some for Michael Jackson for sure. Pretty much every song on Thriller is awesome, and it's an album I listen to regularly.

    Also, I think it might be fun to have the RANTs focus on bad songs that were still somehow really successful. Any band with such a prolific output as the ones you've listed is bound to have a few stinkers scattered throughout their albums, but it's the fact that some people really love the horrible songs that amazes me most.

    Yeah, Marc, how you described the RANTs is basically what I was going for. Let's use Michael Jackson as an example:

    RAVE: any hit from "Thriller"
    RANT: any hit after 1991.
