My theme song for this year

[BeardoMSU]

I just don't get it. ...I mean I still crank up the radio for crazy train, flying high again, walk this way, shit like that. ..but this new shit seems like it just went backwards on the evolutionary scale

Different people have different preferences, for sure. I'm not a big progressive rock fan, for example, despite the talent level of those bands usually being really high.
As for Rage, their unique sound (esp. Morello's guitar style) and lyrical content is what I love about them.

[FlabLoser]

Rage is heavy metal meets punk rock meets rap.

The older crowd might appreciate The Ramones or The Sex Pistols.

Rage is a more modern take on that with influences from heavy metal and rap. Its the same angry, misunderstood emotional outburst of energy type stuff. Just a new generation's take on it. You might not like it, but surely you get it.

Ummm, Bulls on Parade was released in 1996, making it older than some of our football players. If you like Springsteen, you might want to check out Rage's cover of "The Ghost of Tom Joad", it's more mellow than "Bulls", but dark and brooding.

I think "Killing in the Name" should be our Egg Bowl theme song. (Warning: Very NSFW lyrics, including copious use of the F-bomb):

...and we should dedicate the refrain starting about 4:35 to all of the media who predict us to finish last in the West.

Oh, man. That really hurts!

[godlluB]

Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

[Dawgology]

This IS the Bulldogs for 2015. Forsaken Child...swept underneath your rug..... but we are still knockin' on the door, mother f***er.

This is NSFW due to language but it is a damn awesome song. If you haven't heard of Ryan Bingham you have to check it him out.

The Racountours' "Salute Your Solution"

I think Derek Cody put that music to the Ladarius Perkins Egg Bowl in Oxford.

Anyway the chorus fits us:

And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I wonder how many of our players know any of these songs bc I have to be honest I don't know any of them.

That's cause all you listen to is Buffett, Dan. But tbh, I don't know any of these either. I know the artist, just not the songs. Not my taste/style of music.

Easy now, Dan's a Gen X slacker like me. We like our Buffett, but I am sure he can mumble a Pearl Jam song too, and probably knows some NWA.

Eta: Kudos on the Dan Mullen Buffett song yesterday. Pure gold.

[Coach34]

This one is hard to beat

Ha. Buffett wasn't a knock on Dan whatsover! I just happen to know that's one of Dan's fave singers. Dan's not but a few years older than me. I'm 39. I do love some Pearl Jam though & yes I know some NWA too.

[Bully13]

Hey, I like that song by Live, what is it?...."I can feel it"...."center of the earth " something like that. ...I also like a few nirvana songs I've heard. ...does that make me more hip and modern?

Lightning crashes. And Live is a bad ass 90s band. Love them.

+1 - every time I hear that I think of SheltonChoked - he always had Live blasting in Little London

There is a lot of decent to good talent out there playing the instruments, what is lost today is the production and orchestration of the music. Very few good studio producers and ghost writers out there these days, the folks who actually know how to put a recording together. It seems that what happens is just a mash-up of noise built around a few good riffs these days. JMO.

[TUSK]

In an homage to the Tunsil situation I'll go with LL Cool J's "Mama said Knock you Out".

dude.

Nah, you've just got to know where to look.





(This next one's a slow burn, but it's gloriously heavy when it gets there.)


(I had three or four more linked, but apparently I hit my limit. Probably a wise feature to have on the board . . . .)

To bring it back around to the original idea of the thread, here's my pick for a theme song for MSU football in 2015:



Sample of the lyrics:

A pox upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you

Maybe a little too aging retired hipster, but I think it fits the mood pretty well.

Bullshit, overproduction is the biggest thing wrong with music today IMO. Totally cuts the edge out of it. I want something raw and powerful, not something neutered and overly shiny.
