The Blame Canada Thread
Re: The Blame Canada Thread
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Blame Canada Thread
Your average fellow citizen is likely to identify an REO Speedwagon song more than a Ramones song, so, no. We all put forth underappreciated artists, so if we're burdened with Nickleback, Journey et al hang from your collective necks.JennyB wrote:Sorry, but the fact that we gave to the world the Ramones negates anything like this.Dr. Medulla wrote:No matter what the contractor advises, never build your house out of glass.JennyB wrote:No. Madness are talented Limeys.

Re: The Blame Canada Thread
I'm pretty sure Blitzkrieg Bop is pretty universally recognized. Hell, my grandmother knows it's a Ramones song and she probably hasn't listened to a new album since the Beatles US debut release.
Addendum: Actually, that's not true. She has the Tony Bennett MTV Unplugged CD.

I got 12/15 with mostly guesses. My "Eh"-dar is working well.
