@KeitaThe1 Styles make fights. Frazier was the wrong guy to show off Ali's scientific style of boxing. Liston, however, was perfectly limited and slow to make Ali look amaizing. Even in the 60's Frazier would have given him trouble. He was an aggressive slugger who had a great chin and always wel...

There have been dozens of books and documentaries romanticizing punk (especially the early days) its now as prententious as the, so called, overblown stadium rock it sought to counter. Everyone talks about the "scene" but not so much the music. I suspect it's because it was crap.

Bourdain should stick to food. He rather un-ironically, fails to realize that in the kids in the 70's, who left their vanilla suburbs to hang out in the city and listen to the NY Dolls and The Ramones, etc were precisely the same kind of hipsters then, that he complains are forever altering his ...

Ali struggled so much with Norton. He was such an awkward fighter who gave a lot of guys like Holmes (who had a similar style to Ali) trouble. Norton was very good in so many areas, defense, punching power, boxing skill, but he was never great in any one of those areas. It explains why he only br...

who is the moron that posted this boring video ?

@Richdanahuff Listen, l always liked Patterson. How could you not? He would been a great middleweight D'Amatto trained him to have a very rugged offense in order to take advantage of his good hand speed (2nd perhaps only to Ali in that era) but he always seemed...well, fragile when it came to de...

one of the was Barry Bostwick who became an actor. He actually played George Washington in a forgettable 1980's mini-series. He did some ther movies, but now he does awful B movies.

@Quidtucenam Fair enough, there were a few guys like John Henry Lewis that he faced in his prime. His greatness is, for me, his beautiful 1947 KO of Walcott in their 2nd fight, proving that whatever racial barriers existed, Louis would have been dominant because Walcott was damn good, as seen in ...

Peter Jackson had Kong use the same actions as Willice O'Brien's animation from the 1933 version, playing with the broken jaw etc. A true homage.

Larry Holmes makes a good point, but comprehensive ranking of boxers has to take into account all styles. If we sub-catagorize, as we probably should, Foreman is pretty high up above guys like Liston, Shavers, Weaver, Cooney, Ruddock etc.

Styles make fights. Patterson had the right kind of style to make Clay/Ali have to work for a victory, and the right style to make things easy for Sonny Liston. The same is true for Liston, Ali/Clay was the wrong fighter for his one dimensional style.

@MultiGreat1 Still disagree!!! Foreman's physical size and strength were to great for anyone to try to stand and trade. Frazier tried it twice. Shavers was a brutal power puncher but his size was comparable to other heavyweights of the day and guys like Quarry, Lyle, and Cobb survived trading sho...

Funny how Floyd Patterson really fought like a miniature Joe Frazier. Probably due to his Cus D'Amotto training, bob and weave hooks and uppercuts, hand speed etc. The style reached it's peak in the controlled power and speed of Tyson. Funny how Floyd Patterson's name is not usually mentioned wit...

you can't fool me again. Unless we elected you to a 2nd term. Damn, fooled again!!!

Aisle of Plenty is a brilliantly haunting conclusion, especially how it fades out. The fact that the band regards it as an insignificant after thought illustrates how bands often fail to appreciate the profound affect they have on their fans.

Its a shame that, during these box set interviews, no one in the band mentioned Hairless Heart. Fans of this album, and indeed the Gabriel years, regard this as the most haunting instrumental that Genesis ever did and a real high point of the albums first side. Odd that it doesn't even get a ment...

I've always wondered why they were all wearing matching plaid blazers during this interview.

love Collins singing Genesis but I do hate the down down down.

frankly speaking, Genesis did it better. Peter Gabriel was frustrated that the band (Genesis) were so stiff and rigid on stage. But this version featuring, Tony Levin and David Rhodes squating holding their guitars between their legs and contorting their faces looks pretty dumb. The irony is that...

Carl Palmer, Neil Pert, Phil Collins and John Bonham should have made the list even though it's a great lost, no argument from me. Pity it wasn't the top 14

Danielle died a heros death for the Furher.

This melody is not from Tetris but the other way around. The game borrowed it from an old Russian folk dance. The melody probably goes back centuries. Sorry to the idiots who thought it was an original piece of music composed for a 1990's video game. This video, however is a brilliant take on the...

This is the stupidest thing Ive ever seen.

I think thats a dude.

I remember the 70's and 80's when blue, yellow, and white Alco locomotives were common motive power. Too young to recall the orange and grey, but the new stuff is sleek and silver but less charming.

I grew up in Floral Park and have many great memories of the LIRR anyone know when this video was shot???

Who is stupid enough to not realize this is a lip sync performance??? Listen to the music. It's clearly the studio track. There is NOTHING live about this.

These Hollywood made, world war II movies from the 50' ,60's and 70's (except a Bridge too Far) were so bad!!!

To anyone interested, The Witchfinder General soundtrack can be obtained on the CD "Great Movie Themes In Dolby Surround: Horror! - Monsters, Witches & Vampires" , which I just purchased from Amazon. Fantastic to hear this lush beautiful score in digital sound for the first time! It's frankly out...

staged!!!

I get bringing Ray Wilson to replace Phil Collins, but I never was sure why Banks & Rutherford tried to reconstitute Genesis with Anthony Drennan, and Nir Z. Did they think that younger faces might appeal to a younger audience? Darryl Sturmerer and Chester Thompson were established as Genesis ro...
