And honestly, a poll like this really needs a "nothing to declare" option.
Haha, you're not wrong... at least then we'd actually know what to pick!

I completely agree. What sets Bruce apart from everyone else is that he always manages to inject a sense of true originality into his music. Although, I will concede that some of the songwriting can feel a bit thin at times. For instance, I find Last to die to be absolutely phenomenal, largely because of the depth in the lyrics. When you really listen to the words, it isn't just some mindless string of rhymes designed for commercial appeal—which seems to be the case with most artists out there today...

I owe Springsteen an apology; his Magic album alone is worth more than all those songs mentioned above combined.

There just weren't any real hits back in 2007.
Is Michael Bay actually a bad director?
in Movies ·
Michael Bay is exactly the kind of director where you know exactly what you’re getting into—high-budget productions packed with incredible action sequences, even if he doesn't put much effort into the actual plot or character development. That doesn't necessarily make him a bad director, though; I've never found any of his movies completely unwatchable to the point where I couldn't finish them. In fact, I actually consider The Rock one of my favorite films. At the end of the day, he's a solid director, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him anything more than that.
The Breakfast Club

Has anyone else here seen this movie? In my opinion, it’s easily the best dark comedy thriller I’ve ever laid eyes on, though since it came out back in '89, it seems like most people have completely overlooked it.
To give you the gist, the story follows a couple (played by Sloane and Winona Ryder) who go around killing anyone who manages to cross them, always making sure the death looks like a suicide... then, Sloane's character gets this absolutely insane idea to target thousands of teenagers and make it look like a mass suicide (I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil the plot for you).
At first glance, the film might not seem like a big deal, but the direction and those frequently deranged scenes—especially the dialogue—make it a genuine masterpiece. Sloane is phenomenal as this deeply repressed psychopath, and Winona is just brilliant playing his partner, who eventually does everything in her power to stop him. If you haven't seen this one yet, you really need to add it to your list.
Hehe, and that song "Teenage Suicide" is actually pretty good too.🤣

You're referring to that film starring Viggo Mortensen, I assume? It is truly a phenomenal piece of cinema; it’s certainly worth your time to sit down and watch it.

There are actually two versions of Be Very Good 2 out there. The one you're grabbing is likely the shorter cut; I haven't sat through the version with the alternative ending yet, as I found this one perfectly fine on its own. And honestly, let's not even get started on John Cusack's performance—he was absolutely stellar.

To movie wasn't anything special; at best, it was just mediocre, but nothing more (there’s really nothing new there—it feels like everything we've already seen). If you actually want to watch a truly tense Horror film, then Room 1408 is the right choice (it's another adaptation of a King's book), and honestly, it's one of the rare Horror films out there today that is actually well-directed.
Europe
in Music ·
They first got together back in 2003 and put out two albums that were nothing to write home about, though they weren't exactly terrible either (certainly far from bad)... I honestly can't wrap my head around this Discovery release, but I haven't had a spare second to actually sit down and figure it out since I'm heading out for a big New Year's Eve bash.........
Just wanted to say—Happy New Year, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I'm off to grab some dinner...🙂 🙂 🙂
May love and happiness prevail, while suffering and pain fade away,
Because if not, there's always booze to save the day!!!!

It’s true that I don’t hang around this forum very often, but from what I can see, nobody seems to be talking about this particular band. Does anyone else here actually listen to Europe? Personally, I think they’re fantastic. Tracks like "Rock the Night," "Talk to Me," "Carrie," "Prisoners in Paradise," and "Countdown" are absolutely phenomenal in my book. I'll admit, they aren't quite the powerhouse they used to be, but even their *Secret Society* album from last year isn't half bad—especially songs like "Always the Pretenders" and "Devil Sings the Blues." They were easily one of the premier rock bands of the 80s, and I really feel they deserve a spot in our discussions here.👍
Is music dying?
in Music ·
When you take a hard look at the music of the '80s compared to what we’re hearing today—especially considering how easy it is to just download everything instantly—it feels like music has lost a massive amount of its worth. I’m specifically talking about artistic value. It makes me wonder what’s going to happen to the American music scene once legends like The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, or even some of those gritty classic rock staples retire from the stage. Honestly, looking at the landscape right now, I struggle to find a single band that could step up and fill their shoes with that same level of soul and substance.
