The Chicken Dance…
Every Iowan's Wedding.

I am shocked Chris. I own all of them but the Rage one. How can you not know this stuff? Most of them have been out for quite some time.

Yeah … dude get with the program. Actually, I'm only familiar with a *few* of those songs so I shouldn't be one to talk.

I won't debate these songs on their merits (I think some are good and some are not), but to have not heard of ANY them is pretty sad. I feel for you. :)

I've heard of 5/12 of them (if I can count correctly). What's that? A little less than half…?

well chris your not missing much, Disturbed and Rage are the only half way decent bands up there

and that is the popular stuff. There is so much music out now that is much better, but isn't popular.

no babee i've not heard the songs but i know of the groups :)

I love every single one of those songs :)

And don’t forget my current favorite… “Linkin Park� - Dude you really need to get out more
[Mister Mittens – One harmonious *****]

i am going to go out on a limb and say your the only one…other than gnome-girl, she has her smokes. some of them suck, but you should have heard of them. dont you listen to the radio? streaming audio?
JEEEEZZ!

Well, in my opinion, only two of those songs are worth anything. You're not missing much. That Simpsons thing is cool. :)

Now You Gotta Listen to some Rusted Remains!
Local Band Here!
Good Morning Music!

I am listen to the new Weird Al CD to Chris. I bet a lot of people here don't know where you came up with that list, but I do.

Chris I'll help you out with some music grades.
LAST RESORT (Papa Roach) = F
CHOP SUEY! (System Of A Down) = F |
GET FREE (The Vines) = B
HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO (The Hives) = A
FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL (The White Stripes) = A+
LAST NITE (The Strokes) = A
YOUTH OF THE NATION (P.O.D.) = C+ (probably their best song, but nothing to get crazy over)
THE REAL SLIM SHADY (Eminem) = B- (not bad, but way played out by now)
DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS (Disturbed) = F-
RENEGADES OF FUNK (Rage Against The Machine) INC (never heard this song)
OUTSIDE (Staind) = F-, you've been expelled
MY WAY (Limp Bizkit) = F-, didn't I expell you already?
BAWITDABA (Kid Rock) = F-, The police are on their way.

I've heard *one* of those songs… Does that count?

I can't say I know them all, but I at least know some of them. I'm like you. Still stuck in the 80's.

You are kidding me right? Please tell me your kidding.

Dude, you ARE out of touch.
For $50 (however many CDs and labor, yo) I'll send you copies of the 3300+ MP3s discovered on the extra partion of this 2nd hand PC Da Goddess and I are using.
Leif Garret. Stevie Nicks. The Strokes. The Clash. You name it, they're on here.

Chris, Dude, Man. Are you like hiding under a rock or something? You never heard of the real slim shady or bawitdaba? Will someone donate his/her old ipod to Chris and about $15 dollars for downloading the music list at the itunes music store? ;)

You're not the only one. I have heard of the last three songs, but none before that.

Oh man…Pathetic…How about some Metallica? Most of their albums are before the 90's. Get into some REAL rock. IMHO, your listening to the wrong stuff…But, hey, everybody has an opinion. I live out in the coutry and there aren't any “city bands” that play my kind of music. Every song you named took talent to perform except the last one. Whats up with the 70's rock comeback with the “The” bands? The Beatles are gone. Give up. Let's help Chris get back into mainstream music.

Seriously?
Renegades of Funk kept me sane when I had the worst work environment ever… The Hives and the Strokes kept me sane when I found a better one…
Next you're going to say you haven't heard of Bad Religion (it's OK, they did release material well before '89)

Papa Roach, Disturbed, Staind, and P.O.D. are bad. The Vines, and Limp Bizkit have a few decent songs but are over-rated. The others are good. You should also check out Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf as that is a great album with some good satire of the barren contemporary radio landscape to boot.

Yes, you are most definitely the only one, Chris. Sorry.

I've heard one and a half of those… meaning i've heard one, and heard of another. Us tech geeks, I dunno… I still listen to a lot of music and i'm happy. Whatever, pop blah.

I've heard of all of the bands, and heard most of the songs, but none of them are my cup of tea. Give me some Jurgen Vries or Matt Darey any day :) (you guys have no idea who I'm talking about, do you?)

you're not the only one. I too havent heard of even ONE of those songs! I've heard of a few of the bands tho, however only a few. Then again, I am a tiedye wearing, incense burning, patchouli oil sniffing, Woodstock DVD watching, Janis Joplin grooving HIPPY! ;) With a time machine poised to go back to 67' and go to Montery Pop Festival! ;D Wanna go with? Leave all this tech stuff behind! Freak out all the long haired hippy freaks with your tech knowledge of what the future will bring. :)

I'm confused. I have heard of the songs, and the world revolves around me. So..?

Yo, these are the kind of songs I make a conscious effort NOT to hear. Though I have heard 2-3 of them accidentally.

Hey, out of those you mentioned, I've only heard LAST RESORT (Papa Roach) - Which sucks - and THE REAL SLIM SHADY (Eminem) - which is kinda catchy, but I don't think much of Eminem (or any other hand-wavers). And I'm sick and tired of this Nu Soul **** too. Where has the good music gone? Everybody is just pumping out the same old tune, just with a different mix. Most rap 'songs' share more than 75% of the same words and phrases as each other.
Give me 70's rock any day (I'm under 30 years old by the way, so I'm no “old guy”).

I've not heard most of them.

What a great way to drive more ppl to his site then to list a slew of bands as one of the stories. Chris, your content alone should have be enough to get readers — you don't have to resort to this.

Hey Chris!
Don't feel so bad about this…!
Most of these songs are junk! Try to listan to the real music - The Beatles for example.:)
BEATLES RULEZ! ! !

I wish Chris on this one. I more or less gave up on radio several years ago. Call it a Clear Channel backlash. When my MP3 player went on the fritz during a cross-country drive my wife and I had the pleasure of listing to the same 6 songs over and over and over again.

Two answers for your woes. Pop radio and p2p file sharing, including binary newsgroups. Otherwise, it's tough to keep up to date. You should check out more System of a Down. They are a good rock band with a distinctive sound. If you haven't heard them ordering coffee, you are lost. You have to know RATM, they had an ending song in the original The Matrix. Loud rock clears the mind.

Am I the only one that noticed that Richard Cheese (http://www.richardcheese.com) has covered almost all these artists and most of the songs on his two Vegas lounge-style covers albums, “Lounge Against The Machine” and “Tuxicity”? To the rockularly challenged, these versions might serve as a good introduction to the bands involved.

Yeah, I haven't heard of most of those songs either. *sigh* I guess we're just getting old.

Papa Roach?!? PAPA ROACH!!! OMFG THHERES A BIG *** ROACH EATING ME ALIVE AHHHHHHH!!!! Why do plople like to “Blink 182″times a second? My eye blinks 182 times a Hour… M Ehn M?? Ok a Giant M Ehn M that sings??? And why are these youngins Stroking each other??? EEWW… Uhoh I Staind my White Stripes… MOMMY?!?
lol im a youngin and I have barely heard of these Disturbed “White Stripes”:-p
-Chris (Chris Pirillos Clone)

Yeah they all suck cept for Papa Roach, System of a Down, Distrubed, and Rage Against the Machine is the SHIZNICK!

Bart is SWEET. That'll be PERFECT for a retirement gag on a co-worker…
Oh, and I've only heard of a couple of the songs.

Looks like Mr. Pirillo bought the new Weird Al CD!!

Hey, if you like “fell in love with a girl” try this:

UGGGGGHHHH those songs are dumb….ugggghhhh ever heard of Less Than Jake?????? UGGGGHHH TO YOU!!!!!! UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!

no chris you aint

Dont forget to Listen to Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne! HAHAHAHA!

I haven't heard any of them except for the Strokes. I'm still alive and well.

oh dear. *hits head*

Lol, can you say….WAY OUT OF DATE thread?

Seems most of these bands have made it this far, with the exception to SoaD. Btw those guys rocked at their last show, I would know, I was there -.-.

Anywho… All the songs are fabulous, same as all the bands. No one in here liked them all, only a few or none at all…

We all just need to get together and take out Hinder xD
