Now of course this is subjective and honestly there are so many songs out there that I find it hard, it was hard to find, oh whatever nevermind.  

I could make the same argument that my dad probably would have made for the Beatles for my selection.  There were plenty of "rock" bands around the time the Beatles came out but what made them different?  I don't know but my dad probably did because unlike me he was actually alive at the time. 

So what is my nomination of the best rock song of all time and why did I choose that song?  If you couldn't guess from the first sentence then maybe you shouldn't participate.  Smells Like Teen Spirit is my nomination for best rock song of all time.  It's not a particularly deep song either musically or lyrically but I think it's the simplicity of it that actually makes it great.  It doesn't have the musical depth of Rush or the lyrical depth Dylan but what it does have in spades is emotion both musically and lyrically.  I've always been one to appreciate emotion.  And I don't care if you're a kid from New York city or Dublin Ireland, if you don't appreciate the emotion in this song then you're dead, probably don't even have a soul.

Not only that, but it single-handedly dethroned glam rock as the most popular form of hard rock/metal.

GNR punched glam in the nuts and then nirvana kicked it in the face.

what's interesting is that if you look at bands like ratt, poison, and everyone else on down they didn't have huge teased up hair and weren't really wearing a ton of makeup anymore by the late 80s.  they were wearing leather jackets and torn up jeans and other fake tough guy stuff to try and look like axl rose and slash.  that and bands like megadeth and metallica were starting to get mainstream exposure.  that genre really might have just died on its own eventually.

i mean seriously this is poison in 1990:

      what does bryce young excel at

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      Bryce is like Jerry Seinfeld.  Bad jokes, very limited on screen charisma, and a bad actor.  But they surrounded him with the greatest supporting cast of all time (writing included) and you can name the show after the guy.  Unfortunately QB does not work that way.

      TE group

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I just feel like TE is an excuse to the BPA rule, unless you really just have NOBODY at TE, which I personally don't feel is the case for us with the 3 we have right now. Even if you were to say a TE was our actual top ranked player on the board when our 1st round pick is on the clock, I can't see it being such a big gap between him and players at positions of more of a need to where it's then a dumb decision to not take the highest ranked player left on the board. Because yes, a game changing TE can really change your team, but at the same time, it also is the least important position in today's game, since realistically the best TEs are really just big WRs these days anyways, so if you have a good enough WR (and RB) room, TE becomes less of a need. I also think if Coker and Horn Jr pan out, XL could be used in more of a TE type of role where we line him up in the slot and hope to get favorable matchups against smaller DBs or slower LBs.
