Well maybe now my point will become clearer. I don't like the Beatles. Does that mean their music isn't any good?
- MJL

Yes. Since you can't speak to anyone else's preferences, you can only speak as to how you perceive them. So yes, they suck, as far as you're concerned. If people want to listen to them, that's fine, but they still suck as far as you're concerned.

Album shmalbum, I'm talking about the song.

That's probably my least favorite as well. I'll skip it 50% of the time it comes on through my headphones.

With Bobby Ryan signing long term in Ottawa, it seems more likely that they're going to have to trade for a LW. I'd like to see them trade Brayden Schenn or Scott Laughton for a solid LW. Evander Kane's name kept coming up over the summer and a Schenn for Kane trade makes a lot of sense. The Flyers are loaded at center and the Jets are thin at center. Andrew Ladd could be moved. His contract expires at the end of next season. He might be able to be acquired for Laughton. Either way, I think they need to trade for a LW, because they don't have any coming up anytime soon besides Leier.

The cocky attitude they need is in Allentown and Rimouski yo!

Derek Mathers gonna set the tone.

Or they could not overpay in a trade and/or trade picks and/or take on more salary and see if Schenn can play LW.

But yes, other team's players >>> our players.

He can get those ice girls in line. Bet they get to put on jackets with him in the lineup.

Just not your cup of tea. No problems here.

you're not the boss of him

They had like 10 good songs. And then everyone just acts like the rest is so great because those 10 songs were so good and they refuse to let anyone blemish their heroes.

It's what I call the Pearl Jam effect. They put out 2 records with a bunch of big hits. After they, they've maybe had 2 good songs. But, because they're Pearl Jam, their songs keep getting played and people keep tricking themselves into thinking they like the new stuff.

Edit: Not comparing the 2 bands.

The Ramones (frank)ing suck. They're three chords of fetid donkey poop and moronic lyrics.

Now stop picking on bands I like

The Ramones proved that you can play music by stripping it down to 3 chords per song. And their lyrics had way more deep meaning that anything Zepplin ever wrote, as amazing as they lyrics to "When the Levee Breaks" are

You're right. I suck.

The Beatles are boring

By the end of high school I realized I like Pearl Jam, but I'd heard enough of them for one lifetime.

The difference between ACDC and Led Zeppelin is ACDC only ripped themselves off (insert rimshot)

We should just agree that anything put out past 1959 is just regurgitated junk. None of it is original and the rest is trash.

You're right. I suck.

now there's an opinion I can get on board with

No, I do believe that was Buddy Holly

Nice sarcasm. I didn't say they need to overpay for somebody at all. I like Schenn at LW, but if the right deal comes by, I'd take it. A deal like Schenn for E Kane.

By the way, is anyone else confused as to why the Canes were upset with Gorges? It's Staal's fault he broke his leg.

Or they could wait and see how Schenn does. I mean, I know that 22 is ancient, but who knows, maybe he becomes a very good left winger and they Flyers won't have to trade a 20 year old for another 30 year old winger

I don't think the Beatles suck. I just don't care for their music, and I prefer to listen to other bands and musicians.

Except that Kane makes about $3M more on the cap that Schenn, and you'd likely have to do Schenn + to get him.

Yeah, and if you like 8 CDs of songs that all sound alike, the Ramones are awesome.


Actually, they are awesome. I like them a lot. I also like pretty much every other band discussed in this thread.

- Giroux_Is_God

Sorry. The Ramones proves you could play good music by only playing 3 chords.

The Flyers would be insane to trade Laughton for Andrew Ladd.
