    Five finger death punch are metal for people who don't like metal. Just a bunch of scumbag riffs that go nowhere. 

    Oops! I’ve plainly touched a nerve there. I merely mentioned them as a newer rock band (metal or otherwise) who are post ‘60s/‘70s who made an appearance, against the poll’s general grain. FWIW I don’t mind them and wouldn’t try to pigeonhole them stylistically, their version of Bad Company or Black on Blue certainly isn’t metal in my book.

    also one person, one vote?

    I did look and I think it was 3.

    Agree, one of my completely rational hatreds is Tenacious D

    I fail to understand the public’s fascination with novelty songs. That said, I really don’t like Jack Black either and how he gets any work at all amazes me.

    is quite telling how absolute pants these lists are.

    This is the new one, slightly more in the 1990's than before.

    The 1970's and 1980's still dominate :)

    Sabbath have made an early assault on Queen’s lead this morning, with Symptom of the Universe, although I see Queen hanging onto the ‘win’ at the end. That said, expect a late surge in LZ songs, Stairway & Kashmir will be near the top, with Whole Lotta Love along the way. I reckon the top ten will take a long time to play, as I reckon Stairway, Kashmir, Bo Rhap, Freebird, Comfortably Numb and Smoke on the Water will all be there, none of which are short. There will also be at least one AC/DC track in there, so who will join them? Maybe The Who will start to get some late love, with Won’t Get Fooled being another top 10 epic.

    Looking for a bass to record

    I have the 40th anniversary and have been impressed by the ‘60s CV.

     

    I should also mention that, for my own interest, I carried out a comparison experiment whereby I copied an old live recording I had into GarageBand, sucked out all the bass frequencies and recorded 4 new bass lines, using different basses, both clean and driven. These were a P, a JMJ Mustang, a J type and a fretless, passive, MM type. The stand out winner for me was the passive MM, especially with a little drive.
