Not in any certain order however, the Stones Rule the entire universe. I have seen them three times and I will rob, murder, pilage or plunder to see them just one more time before either me or Keith die of old age!

How Can you sit thier and think that Oasis,The strokes And UB40 are real rock bands?They only lasted threw the late 80's and some of the early 90's.Thier not even in the catagory of rock they shouldn't even have been a group more less.

Can't speak for The Strokes or UB40, but I think Oasis is definitely a rock band. Also, their last album was released in May of last year. In fact they've released 5 albums since Feburary of 2000...hardly "late 80's and some of the early 90's."

UB40 is a class act.

Yes, they went Top40 with some of their stuff, but check out their first album sometime; very impressive stuff if you like big band reggae.

This weekend I'll put some mp3s from their first album for y'all to check out.

Well hey, it's the weekend already! So here ya go; tunes from UB40s first album. A couple of them are instrumentals.

These are not for sharing, they are for listening. I am allowing you my friends to listen to my collection. Does that cover my rump a bit? I'm sure not, so to be safe I'll take them down at some point, so listen now!

Just a bit of Trivia about UB40.

Quote:

The band is named from the paper form issued by the UK for claiming unemployment benefits (UB40 = Unemployment Benefits, Form 40); during the Thatcher years, still in use today, British slang referred to unemployed people as UB40s.

I will certainly date myself here but its hard not to put in a vote for an old pal... Bob Seger (who played at my highschool dances before he was famous... Bob Seger and the Plain Brown Wrapper LOL). I think he qualifies as a classic rocker, no?

And Alice Cooper is actually an astute businessman and a fairly accomplished golfer, now doesn't that just blow your mind!!

Stormy69 · Jun 23, 2006, 06:38 PM

K I was just kidding about bratty..I have to say just about every band mentioned already.. plus genisis & the eagles

Yes, and in fact the first album cover was of that form...but if you purchase it today it has a different cover. I think the original is worth some bucks
