Who is Ignoring You, and Who are You Ignoring? (was: Who is Ignoring You? (was: Hello all, I'm back!))

Well in addition to Possessed, DrCrow and moviefreakedmind added me recently to their ignore lists. Also some DVD-BOY guy I haven't even seen yet.

 Catch up to my list and then we'll be impressed.

Well I am sure your list is impressive. But you have been around much longer and I don't post nearly as much. :)

Also I think there is fundamental difference. You are actively trying to get people to ignore you. While people put me on their ignore list simply because they can't stand my intelligence and wit.

Anyway I am way too young to know rock albums. Even vinyl albums predates me.

 I bet I'm about your age or younger, and I have a somewhat extensive knowledge of classic rock.

 Yeah, same.

You two didn't get the joke here...

And you can both have a gold medal in knowing "classic rock" more than me. I am into Jazz anyway.

Do you know what the word joke means? 

I guess it really didn't classify as a joke but rather as a sophisticated humour. Too sophisticated, judging by your serious reply.

I think classic rock is any album that came out in the 60s or 70s.

I wonder why '50s rock isn't considered classic rock. 

Because "rock" and "Rock n' Roll" aren't the same thing.

And what is the difference? Please explain technically, as I won't take an explanation along the lines of "Chuck Berry is rock n' roll, Rolling Stones are rock".

 Well, it may be semantics to you. Look into it for yourself if you're really interested. There's all kinds of rock music, but it's not all rock n' roll.

Here's a wiki link-  Rock Music

I'd say it's mostly down to the beat. Rock n Roll is dance music, where as you can't dance to all rock music.

"Rock n' Roll" by Led Zeppelin is a good example of a rock band playing a rock n' roll song.

I am very disappointed. That is exactly the kind of explanation I find useless. Whether one can dance to some music is completely subjective. And I said I didn't want "this band/song is rock n' roll, and this one is not".

I want an explanation along the lines "Blues is the music that follows the defined 12-bar scheme". If there isn't one along those lines, then you simply cannot objectively categorise it, which translates in my world to; you cannot categorise it at all.

Don't apologize to the village asshole!

JEDIT: Pardon my language

Well you know I hate it when you don't use proper English. I pardon you this time but next time spell it with "s".

"Z" is cooler than "S".

Color, harbor, glamor, etc. should always be spelt with a "U", though.

Btw in US schools, do you get bad grades if spell in proper English?

 Do you get bad grades if you use proper grammar?

Where?
