Stan is well-known for his endless arrogance and argumentative nature around here. He always thinks he's the smartest person in the room (just ask him...he'll tell you).Quote

Not sure what you're getting at Stan. Who are the Vultures?
The Ventures took instrumental surf rock worldwide, and had a profound effect on a young Jimi Hendrix.

Sounds like people are just rattling off any American band. Blondie? Really? Come on. I could go to my local open mic and hear better bands
Wasn't that just what you were doing? Maybe check the subject of this thread, instead of nitpicking other people's choices. I too don't like some of the bands mentioned but I respect other people's posts.

I decide what I like, not you. Sorry. And there's lots of other American bands that I like and didn't mention, so as not to rattle off, as you would have it. The one thing that I decided to react to, is the fact that you deemed it necessary to slag off ONE post (mine) about a band that apparently isn't quite your taste (so what??). In this entire thread, no one did this, to any other post, except you, as this was a seemingly good natured thread about nothing important really, until YOUR post appeared.

Hey we're the same age! I grew up near Vancouver. My three favourite bands today are the same as when I was in high school: Stones, VH, AC/DC

There are plenty of sophisticated, artsy bands out there, but you can't beat those two for no bullshit, meat 'n' potatoes rock'n'roll.

"Patti Smith BAND??"
It's The Patti Smith Group. You'll find that name on her albums starting with her second, Radio Ethiopia, and also on the third and fourth, Easter and Wave.
You'll also see it on the photo of the marquee when she opened for the Stones in '78.

The Patti Smith band was excellent. It normally doesn't work when guitarists double as bassist, but Ivan and Lenny both did well. Jay Dee was the right drummer. The piano was important in that band, but I think Sohl was replaced. no?
It's your loss if you want to be that closed-minded.Quote

To me such a description does not in any way capture the magic, the diversity or even the core about the music from the Rolling Stones.
However, the quoted description confirms my prejudice of AC/DC, a band that I have never listened to and am not aware of having heard any songs from, even I may have been met with it without noticing it. (I will not listen to links to songs, so there is no need present such links.)
Edit: My apology for OT-ing on this OT about American bands.

that's more like it... I would add the Gun Club in its 1980-1984 incarnation.

Agree 100% w/ KeefRiff....how can you be prejudiced against a band you admittedly never listened to and state that you never will listen to?
weird.
