For no real reason, I feel like making a eulogy post dedicated to my favorite time period in music, ever. 1988-1995 or so.
God, I miss this time period in music. The 80's was over (I grew to appreciate 80's music but it took me a good 10 years after it was over to start getting interested in it) and the 90's didn't quite find a niche until 92 or so. So basically the airwaves was a combination of hair bands (in their final death throes), typical pop music (Madonna/M. Jackson/etc) and then all these weird, completely original sounds popping up all over. They all got lumped together as 'alternative' but there's a pretty massive variety of sounds in the genre. Anyways, a year or two after this video came out, Nirvana came along and turned the music world on it's ass. Hair bands were now officially dead, and there was a pretty kick ass period of 4-5 years to follow that had some really sick grunge stuff, as well as some really good britpop/alternative/whatever, and some really odd (yet GOOD) experimental stuff coming out.
Of course, the industry always eats itself, and once labels started *creating* their own alternative/grunge acts (to cash in) the whole thing was over. Still, that was a great 5 years or so where really really good, original music was brought to the masses and it was more or less untouched by the music industry.
Anyways, had to leave a metric SHIT TON of stuff out, but that's good enough for now I suppose.
WTB this kinda stuff on the radio again.

Alright, here's my guess then. The theme is Jesus. As to how (I think) they relate:
1. Judas Priest = Judas was the betrayer of Jesus 2. U2 = This is the one I'm not sure about. The lyrics of most of the song could relate to Jesus but that song is actually about MLK. 3. Crass = The album that song is from is called Christ: The Album 4. The Beatles = 'Christ you know it aint easy' is repeated throughout the song, also reference to crucification. 5. Johnny Cash = Personal JESUS

After doing a little research on one of the bands, I know the theme for certain. However, I can only link 4/5 songs to it. The one I'm missing COULD be a match but you'd have to take the song out of context, so I dunno if that counts. I won't say anything yet since I don't know how one video relates for sure.

I listened to the Toadies version... it's good but doesn't approach the original. I like Nada Surfs version better. The dubstep mix is kinda cool I guess. I dunno... I'm a huge Pixies fan so I'm pretty critical of any covers or mixes or anything. But that post made me think... most covers are good but not great. There's a few exceptions, 'All Along the Watchtower' probably being the biggest one.
Here's my submission for 'best cover ever' where the cover exceeds the original. Evidently whoever put this on youtube thinks so too since they labelled it as such.

My personal nomination for the ugliest man in rock and roll (he's still fucking awesome though):

Punk in Drublic is still one of my favorite CDs. I like your music so far. It's stuff I've actually heard of, and not stuff with names like Bloody Vaginal Belch. Not that I don't like death metal, but it has to be in small doses.

Sneaker Pimps are awesome. However, I'm one of those people who just didn't take the loss of Dayton well. I still love Becoming X. Supposedly the other stuff is just as good (better, some would say) but I just can't get into it. Part of what made me like them in the first place was the ethereal trip hop sound mixed with Dayton's vocals. 'Becoming X' is one of those albums I can listen to start-to-finish. Every song is really really good. It's one of those albums where I can't pick a favorite song.

Couldn't help myself... there's just too many Canadians in this guild to NOT post this video.
Rucka Rucka Ali is like a dirtier, more racist, Weird Al Yankovic who uses mostly songs that are currently on top 40 hip hop stations. And yes, alot of his songs are racist, but he's racist against EVERYONE (white, black, mexican, middle eastern, french, chinese, jewish in the songs I've heard so far), because he's just screwing around and it's not meant to be taken seriously.
EDIT: The original song is Day N Night by Kid Cudi, in case you have never heard it or just can't place the beat or whatever.
