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:

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
