John Cusack returns as Brian Wilson and finds a secret door behind an old filing cabinet at home. When entered, he discovers it's actually a portal directly into the mind of Mike Love. The visit through the portal lasts fifteen minutes after which Brian is spit into a ditch next to the New Jersey Turnpike.

I got 90% on the Pink Floyd quiz.
I'm too ashamed to reveal my score on the Bee Gees one......  (and to think, I call myself a fan).

Just got 85% on the Queen one. 
 

Dang! You beat my score by one question. They weren't lying when they called it "The Very Hard Queen Quiz" were they?

I just got 95% on the Marc Bolan quiz. Feeling rather smug right about now. 

Two instances of what is wrong with the board right here.

Isn't it somewhat ironic to read some ones comments about other peoples behavior when they have comments like "hating "BW since.... and NPP sucks as part of their calling card. I do realize it's supposed to be funny, cleaver, annoying to some people etc. but  really? I do love the avatar though (please don't tell me you're a fan of Nixon).

No it's not supposed to be 'cleaver' Gerry.

^ No reason to call attention to the typo...Gerry didn't do anything to warrant that.

Harmless banter.

Hey, that's exactly what I meant, you know that your comments are cutting that they cleave so to speak. Damn that spel check anyway.

I believe you, thousands wouldn't. As it's (almost) Christmas I shall take down the offending NPP line.

No it's not supposed to be 'cleaver' Gerry. I also doubt it's fucking up every thread it comes into contact with, unlike OSD.

As much as it would please me to see OSD gone I will admit that I'm not 100% comfortable with demanding that someone be banned. An ignore button would be perfect, then each member can tailor the board to their liking. Not to name names but there are several posters here that I would gladly never interact with again if I could have the choice not to.

I don’t get it. I thought the issue we were discussing and so many of us are asking the mods for help with is the fact that we have a couple of members who are constantly posting stuff all over the board, whenever Mike Love is mentioned, that contributes nothing to the discussion at hand, but instead falls under the definition of trolling.

But then Guitarfool posts something about a couple of PMs from months ago. I don’t know what that’s all about, and at this point I really don’t care. I’m just one of many who would like some relief from the trollish pollution that is seriously damaging the integrity of this board.

Add me to the list of people that fail to see the link between posters asking that OSD be banned and two PMs AGD sent at the beginning of the year being reported. Smells like a diversion tactic to me.

Also seems very unBeach Boys to be rude to another band like that.

That's how Ray/Dave read it. Thing is, the Boys could be in a rush, nervous & stressing over their performance. I don't believe one bit any of them were rude.

It was mentioned in Ray's book X-Ray. I have not read it in many years but from what I remember Ray caught Mike staring rather intensely at him, he then came over and kind of made a brief hello gesture at Ray before walking off.

Ray is 4 years older than Dave, as a result Dave has had to endure 'baby brother syndrome' all his life. Believe it or not, The Kinks were way more dysfunctional then The Beach Boys.

I should clarify that I think Fairytale of New York is a great song. However, in the UK it is played an absurd amount over the Christmas period. After 30 odd years you sorta get sick of it.

f-u-c-k libturds. one should enjoy thanksgiving day and all  that goes with it like one did growing up as a child.

Ultimate Kinks is a really good collection too. 

46 tracks over two discs.  My only gripe is somehow Destroyer got left off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Collection_(The_Kinks_album)

It's on there, but for some reason they've titled it All Day and All of the Night. 

Songs

The Pretenders - 2000 Miles (little known fact, this song is actually about The Kinks' Ray Davies)

That is news to me.  Interesting tidbit.  Thanks.

I'm not a big Pretenders fan, but I do really like that song. 

You're welcome. They were married at the time and Chrissie wrote it because he was away at Christmas time on tour and she was missing him.

Now on to the X-Mas songs that make me want to smash up the radio every December...

Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime
The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)
Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas
John & Yoko - Merry Xmas (War is Over..)
Any version of Band Aid -  Do They Know it's Christmas?

Here's another one;
6. Should a forum member who was banned outright before for calling a band member's wife and daughter 'whores' and then allowed back with explicit instructions to lay off personally insulting said bandmember, which he has totally ignored to the point of threadcrapping the entire forum be allowed to remain a member?

Messing with Russia is A.Very.Bad.Idea.

Songs
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Jethro Tull - Solstice Bells
Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas
Mike Oldfield - In Dulci Jubilo
Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again
Dennis Wilson - Morning Christmas
The Pretenders - 2000 Miles (little known fact, this song is actually about The Kinks' Ray Davies)

You can't beat the Phil Spector and Four Seasons Christmas albums. I have the two Carpenters Christmas albums en route from Amazon - can't wait.

We get it, you don't like Mike. Fine, thing is we heard you the first 500 FUCKING TIMES.

THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY ALL THE WAY!!!!! Part of the reason Gabriel left was he knew they'd never be able to top it.

Just because a movement is popular doesn't mean it's a worthy movement.

I've seen bowel movements that were more worthy then bringing OSD back.

Seem to recall there was a very vocal campaign to reinstate OSD. Hope you're all pleased with yourselves.

This thing?

I counted two people asking for him back. Ironically, one of them disappeared after seemingly getting sick of all the mYke bashing (be careful what you wish for).  
No surprises for guessing who the other one was!

How about putting it to a vote, mods?

They had it here in the UK also.

I honestly think everytime you type the words 'myKe luHv' your dementia advances a little more.
