Steely Fuckin Dan

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers
That?s all in the past

You call me a fool
You say it?s a crazy scheme
This one?s for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I?ll make it this time
I?m ready to cross that fine line

Chorus:
I?ll learn to work the saxophone
I?ll play just what I feel
Drink scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call alabama the crimson tide
Call me deacon blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I?ll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I?ll make it my home sweet home

Chorus

This is the night
Of the expanding the man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I?ll be what I want to be

Chorus

new one on me

who the fuck is the bottom right guy? looks like the BTK serial murderer

i listen to slayer a lot when im coordinating, if not, its blind mello jelly, the ink spots ... but best BAND ...

gotta be those fruitcakes, QUEEN

There is only one contender for this title, The Beatles.

who are these fuckers?

My favorite bands and records rotate by the day. The concept of 'The Greatest Band' is subjective and a novelty...no such thing. While some people love and swear by certain bands *cough* all metal *cough*, I can't listen to their songs for a minute without either wanting to laugh or cringe.

Regardless, Favorite Of The Day: Love - Forever Changes

Best band:

That's Ricky Martin there :winkwink:

Led Zeppelin

Do it again...

Any band that once had Chevy Chase as it's drummer is pure quality :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh seriously though...take it over anything out nowadays....

Black Fucking Sabbath

Dan Steely
» Do It Again

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
CHORUS:
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
CHORUS
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
CHORUS

Steely Dan is awesome, but there are really not one of the contenders for the title, based on their importance in the history of Rock and Roll, and what they did:

My picks:

The Beatles - The band that showed the USA that the rest of the world could rock

Ramones - Invented Punk Rock before it was called that. It would be hard to find any rock band formed after 1985 that didn't have some influence from Ramones...

Nirvana - Taught everyone to remember what Rock was supposed to be

Deep Purple - A strange pick maybe, but they were the first heavy metal band and were playing it 40 years ago before it was even called Heavy Metal (The name came from Steppenwolf...).

The Yardbirds - The band that introduced the world to Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page

It's gotta be... Led Zepplin

The Beatles may have been "bigger" but the "greatest" band... Led Zepplin.

If we're talking bands that had everything? Like it's been mentioned, there has never been a band that epitomized rock and roll like Led Zeppelin. Plant had sex appeal and the whole "mystical" lead singer thing going on. Jimmy page did things on the guitar that had been unheard of. They partied like it was their last day on earth and their songs were just...unreal. Zep hands down is the best rock band ever. Noone else even comes close to doing what they did.

this is an age old question that will probably never be answered correctly...
hey, led zepplin was fuckin awesome...no doubt about it.. but theres no greatest band of all time...

By "greatest" are we talking album sales, live in concert, longevity, most hits, influence, prolific...?

"Greatest" is subjective. Every generation has its own standards by which greatness is judged.

saw Judas Priest last night,
They can still really put on a show.

Queensryche.

Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin

Of all time?..... I'd have to give the nod to the Beatles.
But any top list would have to include:

Led Zepellin
The Who
Pink Floyd
The Stones
Rush
Van Halen
Aerosmith
Deep Purple
Eagles

look, the answer to that question is taking your pick from those below, and only those:

Led Zepplin
The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
The Beatles

************

if you're going on longevity and compiling a hitlist, try compiling one of the Rolling Stones.......lol.........your playlist will literally be over a 100 songs

The Ultimate Stuff :glugglug

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh i used to love them

I love dancing to this!

Beatles, Queen, and of course, the Scorpions.

steely dan is awesome.
the song that really hooked me as a fan was hey nineteen.

call me the deacon blues

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn?t know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can?t understand

Chorus:
Are you reelin? in the years
Stowin? away the time
Are you gatherin? up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin? me you?re a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I?ve known you
I still don?t know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn?t turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can?t understand

Chorus

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we?ve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can?t understand

Chorus

poppet that one of those songs that touch you and just about anybody can relate too

I stand by my original position

Steely Dan 4 president

i like Nirvana
