You are coming across like a real piece of shit. I mean that in a nice way of course. It is both hysterical and telling (and honestly, a wee bit depressing in a broader sense) that some of you actually seem to think that I - or anybody, for that matter - could or would give an actual flying fuck about "being noticed" or how they might be "coming across" in the general context of a basically 3rd grade level (at best), "Yeah, we're just fucking stupid Beatards, but not as stupid as THOSE fucking stupid Beatards are!" forum.
The room/system thread, which is how I first bumped into this little exercise in projection, has some genuinely funny stuff in it. 95% of the rest of this place is, as I mentioned elsewhere, merely same house/different floor, idiotic musings and textual turds comparable to those from the "mothership". And when one of those morons who thinks you guys are just "mean" occasionally comes over to try and engage, well, duh, they're always going to be easy enough to swat away. But when somebody from the "outside" happens to peek in, taps you on the shoulder and says, "Uh...you ARE kidding with this some of this shit, right?" - it would seem that certain people here can't really handle that all that well.
And yeah, I think when I've brought this up before I've gotten a few sheepish, "Oh sure, we're totally cognizant of all that" shrugs. Well...in a few very obvious, specific cases - color me skeptical. Preferably around the edges with a green felt-tipped pen. But 50,000,000 posts about dopes (and an absolute industry nobody) not worth two seconds of anybody's time can't be wrong - or can they?
But like I said - my window of availability for this nonsense is closing, so out of it I jump. (Without any help from liquor, even...) And just remember - if I miss you half as much as you do me, you'll miss me twice as much I do you. Which - in a nice way, of course - kinda gets as close to the bone as it can get, don't it?
You must be British.

Musicians who broke through early/middle of one decade and then became associated with next decadeI've been recently thinking about how Green Day broke through in 1994 with Dookie which was one of the biggest albums of the 90s, and yet thanks to American Idiot/21st Century Breakdown and the fact that the pop-punk genre only really became a cultural juggernaut in the 2000s, they are heavily associated with that decade in the popular imagination. It's pretty common to see musicians who get big in the final years of a decade and then become associated with the next decade, but it seems to be rather rare to see those who get big in the early or middle part of one decade, as Green Day did, and then become associated with the next decade. There's only a few others I can really name - Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson are obvious ones as they started so young, Hall & Oates is another one. Can anyone name any others who fit this criteria? Led Zeppelin perhaps? Their debut and Zeppelin II were both in '69 however the rest of their albums and the majority of their legacy is in the 1970s Three Dog Night Micheal Jackson Willie Nelson Kenny Rogers Waylon Jennings Linda Ronstadt Dolly Parton Gordon Lightfoot Billy "Crash" Craddock The Beatles: broke through in the mid-sixties and became associated with every decade thereafter. Pretty neat trick considering that they broke up in 1970. Now that that's out of the way, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Sandie Shaw- 60s icon who came back with The Smiths in The 80s. Jeff Lynne broke thru with Idle Race and The Move in the mid to late 60s...while ELO hit their peak in the 70s... The Idle Race never broke through at all, and Jeff didn't join the Move until 1970, so I disagree. A few have definitely misunderstood the OP And also seem to not understand what years constitute the "early/middle part" of a decade. Hint: 1979 is the not the middle of the 1970's. Both Deep Purple and Yes started out in 1968 but are associated with the 70's.
