Craig movies took all of the swagger, attitude, humor, and fun out of the movies. They might as well have been Mission Impossible or their own thing. The end of the Craig era w/ the woke bullshite killed the franchise. I don't care if they ever reboot the series.
Screw you and Iran. This is nothing like dumbass Bush and Cheney's invasion of Iraq.

Hyperion was excellent. Highly recommend but it's a long four book series.

Allies? That’s why the US founded it


Allies as long as Biden admin. is pumping billions into Ukraine and propping up their defense. We founded it to combat the Soviet Union, which was dissolved over 35 years ago. Europe no longer respects democratic ideals. Let their undemocratic, anti-free speech,anti-Christian ideology stand on its own.

Just because you don’t like her or listen to her doesn’t mean she sucks


That is the very definition of sucks. It's a subjective term.
I think Tanner may be a worse AD than Ross Bjork who somehow got hired at OSU. I think he raises money only and does not make any decisions on the athletic programs. USC needs to fire Tanner now or hope he gets lured away to Texas A&M or OSU.

Vampire Weekend are indy and critic darlings whose first record sold over a million copies in the US alone. Great band though.

My list would be:

Ron Gallo
Kurt Vile
John Martyn
Bill Callahan/Smog
S.G. Goodman
Ty Segall
Solid Space (only one great album that was only in cassette form for a long time)
Anders Osborne
Soul Coughing (does this count? they were kind of popular in the '90s)
Grant Lee Buffalo

Sorry Jason Statham


Jason Statham is a highly bankable action star whose films have grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide.

The Center for Scholars & Storytellers (CSS) at UCLA has released the findings from its “Evolving Masculinity” study.



I'm sure the questions weren't leading and interpreted a certain way.

The CSS study was led by Yalda T. Uhls, founder and CEO of the center.


LOL.

Joy Division/New Order- No


What??? Phil Collis solo dreck but not a pioneering brilliant band(s).
quote:

Phil has seven #1 hits on Billboard, 27 songs that charted, and 14 top tens.


Then why not call it the Billboard HOF. Those hits were terrible. And he is already in for Genesis and as a drummer.
quote:

Phil Collins (not already in??)


For what? One song (In the Air Tonight) off a mediocre album? The rest of his solo work is shite, and he is already in with Genesis.

The Black Crowes-
Jeff Buckley
Mariah Carey
Phil Collins
Melissa Etheridge
Lauryn Hill
Billy Idol
INXS
Iron Maiden
Joy Division/New Order

Oasis
Pink
Sade
Shakira
Luther Vandross
Wu-Tang Clan


At what point do artists start telling the HOF they don't want their image tarnished by inclusion?

Friday is bad arse. Will try to make that.

Popular bands or artists


That is a wide net. I would say the entire Billboard top 100 with the only exclusions being: sombr (a bit emo but talented song writer) and Tame Impala. Billboard Hot 100. Popular music is pretty bad right now. I would also throw in Green Day, Chris Stapleton, Mumford and Sons, Coldplay (first two albums not terrible though) and Dave Mathews Band.

So Thursday is Maiden, Megadeath, Alice Cooper, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, and Danzig!?! That is the old folks night and really impressive. I can't image what your hearing would be when Maiden finally gets on stage.
