It's right up there. Beautiful pacing and performances. Brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it.

THIS was the Greatest Super Bowel Ever IMO:

I'm still on the edge of my seat watching it a decade later.

6:27 - "Mike... Jones... made... THE TACKLE !!!!!!!!!"

On a related note, I think the Rams had one of the very best teams ever that particular season.

The Deer Hunter is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made IMO.

The French Connection was a good, but overrated movie IMO. The original Dirty Harry was better IMO.

Kate Beckinsale is God's Greatest Creation. Ever.

I agree with all of the above.

Your other opinions are wrong!

I'll tell you what's overrated, and just flat out garbage: The White Album. I actually listened to the whole thing on a road trip not long ago. A few decent to good songs and whole lot of "WTF?". They were just fucking with us, I'm convinced. Trying to see how many pretentious douchebags they could suck into thinking it was some kind of work of genius. I'm sure they had a good laugh.

the cobra · 02-13-2012, 01:28 AM

Shit ton of filler, no doubt, but some of their very best songs are on that album.

Dear Prudence, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Long, Long, Long, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Julia, Helter Skelter, etc. You just have to skip over the crap.

It's a creative mess, and I think that's actually a big part of its appeal to most.

Im with MagicMan'sUppercut51Muangsurin'sMan in this , except from d few decent songs , don't know what album is My Guitar Gentley Whips from , but beside of it , nothing else they've ever done was not even nearly decent .

I was never attracted to Angelina Jolie.

Uma Thurman is ugly IMO, especially in the Kill Bill movies.

While Brett Favre was an undoubtedly great QB, I feel he may have lacked the poise and consistency, and relied too much on "risky" plays to be rated among the absolute ATGs (ie: Unitas, Montana, Bradshaw).

Eli Manning is overall better than his brother IMO. While he may lack Peyton's natural talent (who doesn't?), he has better mobility in the pocket and is more resourceful and reliable in the clutch IMO.

The Doors' Strange Days is arguably better, or at least the equal of, their epic first album IMO. The song Strange Days is also one of the best Doors songs IMO. I wish The Doors would've continued in that direction, rather than the pop-oriented sound of Waiting for the Sun.

I was never a big fan of Morrison Hotel. It's actually my least favorite Doors album outside of Soft Parade.

The Velvet Underground's Heroin is one of the greatest songs ever made IMO. Billy Idol's remake is one of the worst.

Tears for Fears was a great band IMO.

Echo and the Bunnymen's Evergreen is a criminally underrated album. It's actually my favorite Echo album, and one of my favorite albums by anyone, ever. The song Evergreen is also one of my favorite songs.

The Moody Blues are on par with the best bands ever IMO.

A case could be made for Dr. No as the best James Bond film IMO. While it lacks the big budget and high tech gadgets of the subsequent films, it has a grittiness and realism that the others lack. It also features Connery's best performance as Bond IMO.

Brooke Burke is still as hot as she ever was, and a league above most women half her age. I'd push any Sports Illustrated cover girl from the last decade down a flight of stairs just to have a chance to talk to her.

My2Sense · 02-13-2012, 02:21 AM

Mid '90s Monica Brant was one of the hottest women ever IMO. Unlike most other female bodybuilders, she was muscular without losing her femininity.

McGrain · 02-13-2012, 02:45 AM

man it's 0745 in the morning over here, to early for this kind of action.

Flea Man · 02-13-2012, 04:07 AM

The Velvets were ace...but I prefer 'Loaded' to their more experimentalwork, 'Transformer' and John Cale's first four solo albums trump them all IMO...even tough he was the more abstract of them! Weird how that works. Not saying I don't love 'Nico', 'Eponymous' and 'White Light/White Heat' but I think Reed and Cale peaked after they parted ways, not a popular view I know.

The Doors are great...but you only need about 20 of their songs IMO.

The Wall is quality...but Bob Ezrin was too involved. I have the demos and they're better IMO. Meddle is indeed underrated, but 'Animals' is my favourite Floyd album by a country mile!!!!

David Bowie's canon from 'Space Oddity' to 'Scary Monsters' is the greatest series of albums of all time IMO. Only two or three dud tracks in a whole decade. Up there with The Beatles' canon for sure.

Brian Eno is the GOAT. 'Here Comed The Warm Jets', 'Taking Tiger Mountain', 'Another Green World' and 'Before and After Science' are all ridiculously good...then you take into account he's only a few degrees of separation from most of the great albums of the 70s and you love him even more....but fuck U2, bland motherfuckers.

Oh, and IMO Dr No is the ONLY Bond film...the rest suck ass, although Casino Royale wasn't bad.

GPater11093 · 02-13-2012, 04:16 AM

Definitly Maybe is the GOAT album.

kingfisher3 · 02-13-2012, 05:27 AM
