At least 1/3 are in the new Wes Anderson movie.

It’s been leaning since it was built. Stop lying.

One of my all time favorites. Perfect band for a perfect age.

When you build an office like that you gotta put it to use.

It really is.

Yes, because renaming buildings and removing statues is the same as suppressing your political rivals and by extension democracy itself.

I’d say Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is up there with some of the best rock lyrics. I love Zeppelin and Stairway (as much as it’s overplayed) has some great lyrics. What Is and What Should Never Be is also a personal favorite for lyrics.

For something a bit different, check out the album Desire by Bob Dylan. Some of the best storytelling around.

American Pie is a song that really moved me when I first heard it.

But I don’t really know what kind of lyrics you are looking for. Many rock songs are obtuse or minimalist in their lyrics, leaving open various interpretations.

It depends on what type of lyrics you are looking for. Not to mention, “rock music” is a very broad category. What bands do you like?

Might as well throw Space Oddity in there.

Yes. Give up.

I second Letterkenny. If not, then Curb Your Enthusiasm.

During a street fight? C’mon now.

Don’t know, don’t care. Beautiful.

Machine Head is one of the best rock albums of all time, imho. I enjoy Deep Purple, but for me, while their catalog is deep it’s not quite as strong as other favorites such as Zeppelin and Floyd. They don’t really take me to that next level consistently.

It’s not quite 20 years old. I enjoy it, but comparing it to Dark Side is quite the stretch.

It would be a great name for a song if it wasn’t so associated with a soft drink lol.

Thanks for the reminder that Real Time is back.

That is too much to process.

Exactly. The lyrics are so fantastical, how can one not love it?

Didn’t know that about Donovan. He’s one of those guys that had a few great songs that were briefly part of the zeitgeist at the time.

People always look at me weird when I list Monkey Man as one of my favorite Stones songs. Rock and roll piano/keys are great, but it’s the more classical stuff that really brings out the true beauty of a piano. I need to listen to more honestly.

I fell in love with mandolin when I got into the newgrass movement and really discovered bluegrass in the 90s. I was also young and having good times listening to this music so it is associated with fond memories.

I never really thought about it, but it does surprise me a bit that it was John Paul Jones on the mandolin. Thanks for that.

There are a lot to appreciate. In fact, I can think of very few instruments I don’t like. I love the piano because it has so much range. My darkhorse pick is the mandolin. Something about it reaches my DNA.

Licensed to Ill- Beastie Boys

Raising Hell- Run DMC

Greatest Hits- Queen

1984- Van Halen

Holy Diver- Dio

These are the ones I remember being played a lot. It’s been a lifetime ago…

I’m probably stretching the meaning of the word. If I want to watch a movie and I can’t decide on anything new, then pretty much any Tarantino or Cohen Brothers film is this way for me.
