Hey they deserve at LEAST a little credit for managing to have a fairly popular single with the word MOTHERFUCKER repeated about 20 times on radio without bleeps.

I'm not familiar with any of their tunes... Get Permission to Land. GREAT album. If you like that get One Way Ticket to Hell...not AS good but good nonetheless.

If this wasn't on this forum I would think this was a troll...
I cannot believe I am replying to this...
"White" kids love rap and hip hop because their parents HATE it and it is good to dance to. It is very rebellious in a lame way as well.
It's that simple...HOWEVER
I don't see any LACK of love for classic rock where I live. The band I am in has crowds of young people every weekend rocking out.
Most of "our" bands are 30 YEARS OLD...that's quite a run.
I could appreciate Chuck Berry or Elvis back in the day but I sure wasn't running to slap them on my stereo. Kids want their OWN thing.
I am sure Hendrix and Phil Lynott are suprised to learn of the no black rockers rule....as well as about 20 others I can think of off the top of my head.

WOW. I tried I really did. There is NO WAY I can pick 10 "greatest riffs". So here goes the threadjack of the century. IMO to even pick 10 IOMMI riffs is impossible. So for your listening pleasure here are 10 IOMMI riffs that kill. Just so you realize the enormity of these great riffs...I purposely left out the ones EVERYONE knows...so his most popular are OUT. Then I FORCED myself to only use ONE from any single album. There are ZERO from their most well known album. On top of that there are FIVE different vocalists on these 10 songs!! Yet the riffs continue to spill out. FORGET the Ozzy vs "whoever" comparisons. IOMMI made great music with EVERY version of Sabbath. If you quit him after Oz or Dio...get yer heads outta yer ass ;D He is the greatest riff writer of all time. My only suggestion if you are unfamiliar with some of these is...let 'em play...don't cut them off after 30 seconds...CRANK your speakers or slap on the headphones...don't waste any more time. PS. When the first example was released...the BEATLES were still together. BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP SUPERNAUT VOODOO INTO THE VOID ZERO THE HERO WISHING WELL HOLE IN THE SKY I THE SHINING TURN TO STONE BONUS TUNE ROCK AND ROLL ANGEL...FROM DIO'S FINAL ALBUM Yes I need to get a life.

Those lists are always pure BULLSHIT...trying to spread the wealth around. Hell I can think of at least TEN Iommi riffs that belong in the top 50. Many of those listed are FAR from "riffs". They don't know the meaning of "riff" I guess. NO Priest riffs...COME ON!?!?!
Sorry I always get po'd at these so called "greatest" lists.

I have the Wicked Lester album on bootleg...it pretty much sucks except for the songs that became KISS songs "SHE and "Love Her all I Can"
I also have heard the CHELSEA album several times and it sucks more.

All of a sudden it seems silly that we ever got so worked up about a Republican saying "You lie!" Nice to know Democrats have so much more class . Well you know the double-standard of liberalism... "Everyone for everyone else...unless of course you disagree with us."

Do you see AC/DC being chosen to perform at the Superbowl? 1. The Super Bowl has overwhelmingly used Classic Rock acts for half time shows. They use HUGELY classic acts or VERY HOT AT THE TIME acts. Since Janet's boob popped out they have been keeping it safe. Black Eyed Peas are BIG and they aren't Senior Citizens like the WHO, Stones or Paul McCartney. 2. Sorry to sound politically incorrect BUT Professional Sports are dominated by Black Americans. It makes no sense to always have OLD, White Bread dudes playing at half-time, alienating the whole African American part of the country. TRUST ME Black America is about as excited to see AC/DC as most of us are exctited to see Black Eyed Peas. 3. Rock is on the downLOW at this time. It's stagnant. Happily, Rap and Hip Hop are dying the Hair Band Death right as we speak. COUNTRY is the new Top Dog and will be for a time. Expect Country acts next year at HalfTime IMO. 4. Who cares. IMO the BEST half-Time shows were those that had SEVERAL acts all melting together to make some kind of spectacle. It's all just an excuse to hit the bathroom anyhow.

Howard begged Ozzy to reveal the secret behind his seemingly ageless voice, so Ozzy let him in on a studio secret: "I double-track. I sing it and then I sing another one on top of that." What secret?? It's OBVIOUS that Ozzy has double trcked his voice since the first Blizzard of Oz album.

It depends if you are denying the fact that the reason so many of them were great is that they were ground breaking.
For example WOULD Sabbath be as popular had all the bands they influenced came before them?? No way to know. WAR PIGS coming out AFTER enter Sandman would sound pretty thin if we are using the recorded versions as the example.

The QUICKER we can get rid of Barrack the better.
The IMPORTANT thing is that now ONE side does not hold all the power. The US Government always works better when both parties have some control. Otherwise every STUPID idea gets rushed right through....see OBAMACARE.
As far as the economy NOBODY can do a dang thing about it. Don't know how old any of you are but the FIRST election I could vote in was Carter vs Reagan.
At that time JAPAN was in the same seat as China is now. What happened?? The Japanese citizen got tired of LOW PAY and Japanese Business had to fix that...causing the "discounts" that gave them their advantage to disappear. It WILL happen in China. The economy always corrects ITSELF eventually. Anyone who thinks a POLITICIAN can do a dang thing is dreaming.
My preference is that I don't want to pay for other people's stupidity...therefore I am conservative...BUT anyone that has good ideas is alright by me....and there have been very FEW good ideas since Reagan IMO.
If all this Republican house does is keep any more liberal stupidity from passing I can live with that.
