Quote: I spent much of my pre-teen years reading Mad magazine while listening to things like Kraftwerk, Weird Al, French Medieval and Renaissance music, P.D.Q. Bach, Switched on Bach, as well as more average classic rock and classical music.
Switched on Bach... one of the oddest concepts, yet coolest albums I've ever heard. I wasn't exactly born (or probably even thought of) when it came out, so I've always wondered if it inspired the trend to reorchestrate the classical music with synthesizers, or if it was just the oldest (and first) one's I managed to stumble across.I haven't listened to practically since I started HS, but you just inspired me to dig it out the next time I'm home. |

Aw, come on... who doesn't enjoy listening to Carmina Burana and Wagner a few times each week? Those stressful days, where you get home and feel like killing someone... German opera is the only solution. |

I kinda like lots of stuff. The only thing you HAVE to listen to is "formula country" (I think it comes cranked out of a machine that you shovel manure into) and (c)rap, at least that's what drowns out all the other airwaves around here. They limit classic rock stations to about 50 watts, I think! D/W P. S. - I'm not dissing "old school" country, I love a lot of the real stuff, including bluegrass, honky tonk, and southern rock. I just can't stand the drivel that pours out of the country stations these days. |

Look, you KNOW that the ONLY music to play as you tear down the highway in a rusted out C-body or Van with no mufflers which leaves a cloud of burned oil behind you is Vaughner's "Flight of the Valkyrie!" I hear you about country. My family can trace its roots back to Kentucky and Tennessee. My great uncle plays mandolin and yodels. Old school country and bluegrass are okay, but that new country pop is just garbage. I went to a Ricky Skaggs concert and wanted to kill him. "Hello. My name is Dieter. Would you like to touch my monkey?" "NO! We are nihilists! No funny stuff or we will cut off your Johnson!" |

Quote: Dead Kennedys Rule!! Interesting you mention DK. Back when I was in High school they were all I listened to. I had a different DK T-shirt for each day of the week and I wore them almost exclusively. I still think DK was the best of the punk bands. They had actual political and social commentary rather than just loud fast in your face typical immature punk crap. I still have most of their stuff on vynil as well as alot of Jello Biafra's side projects and spoken word albums. What really turned me off to the punk scene was the punks who kept telling me to cut my hair. Its hardly rebellious individualism if you all have to look alike. Und, Yah! Dat ist vat I sait. W-A-G-N-E-R, Vaughner! Only recently have I really started to dig into music that the mainstream has largely forgotten. How about some good old Yma Sumac? Mrs. Miller anyone? Arthur Brown? |

How about Gentle Giant, Nektar, Tangerine Dream or some good pre 1980 Judas Priest. Unfortunately my Krako only pulls in the Spanish stations presently! |

The musicians were very talented, but I found Mr. Skaggs to be a jerk. I do remember being impressed at the banjo player.
And my cousin plays banjo for Ricky. |

...could be, but I don't think so. I'm no German expert, but I believe "dem Autobahn" would be "that Autobahn", and "der Autobahn" would be "the Autobahn" which seems to make more sense. I'll have to dig out the album...And my cousin plays banjo for Ricky. D/W |

'Dem' is the dative case definite article in German. In English, we have only one definite acticle, 'the'. I looked it up to be certain. I guess those two years of German in high school are really starting to pay off. |
