Since you mentioned you already talked to the mom, would recommend going straight to the other steps, specifically to the school.

Posted this in the other thread. Still a bit on the fence, but it's hard for me to be moved from "I'll decide for my kid, you do you." I get that social media harms kids though, thus on the fence. It's a tough one.

Is there data/studies that show why 16 is the appropriate age for being able to use social media? I get that younger = not good for them, but why 16? Is it a result of compromise? I'm on the side of letting parents decide, not the government, but I'm open to data driven reasoning. We set age...

Terrific job. Thanks for putting it together.

Have to admit I didn't see this one coming. I've seen AC/DC probably 6 or 7 times, and agree this is their best, deepest album certainly. I didn't realize it was such a big seller. Most people I went to high school with didn't necessarily love AC/DC, although almost everyone liked them. The...

No arguments here. Best album of all time? Tough to ever say, but I'll take it. I ranked all of these songs somewhere between 5 and 15 in the Pink Floyd thread last year.

Meat Loaf, wait... Kind of underwhelming after some of the recent powerhouses. Paradise By The Dashboard Light has its moments. Phil Rizzuto going on for what seems like 5 minutes about being out or safe, IDK. Not trying to yuck anyone's yum, but I never really considered Meat Loaf to be...

If the response is that GUP from the Internet needs to be out here suggesting specific policies on behalf of the institutions, then we are more screwed in these institutions than I thought. :) My point is that we learned about these outcomes, and it would be helpful if that information were...

The institutions still aren't doing a good job IMO. It seems further clarifying vulnerable populations and improving ventilation in indoor spaces should be areas of focus. I never really hear a thing about those. I can't say I pay nearly as much attention anymore, but didn't we learn that the...

Great, great album. Give my parents a lot of credit for introducing me to this one as well. They played it all the time. I would run around dancing to Don't Stop (I was 6). Nowadays, I'll throw on You Make Loving Fun, The Chain, Second Hand News and Never Going Back Again pretty regularly. I...

While I didn't consume LSD and watch/listen to The Wall as often as I did with Dark Side Of The Moon, it probably happened frequently enough. I listed Comfortably Numb as the #1 Pink Floyd song in the ranking thread. Had to go back to look, listed Run Like Hell as #5, Another Brick #6, and...

My parents were big into The Beatles. This album was probably the one I remember them playing most frequently. The segue from the title track to "With a Little Help From My Friends" is terrific. Lots of good songs on this one.

Elton's a legend obviously. Have seen him twice, once solo and once with Billy. The entertainment value of his show is extremely high IMO. Standout songs, sung well and played clearly. I personally enjoy Funeral/Love Lies Bleeding the most, but it's kinda long. The quad of Bennie, Goodbye...

Boston IMO is a great, borderline incredible album. The songs mentioned were all staples on rock stations in the NYC area as well. Tom Scholz is a genius, and part of his vision for the music was crisp vocals, and on that front Brad Delp certainly delivered. While all of the songs are each...

Now 20-16 on the other hand is a formidable lineup. Those are some seriously heavy hitters.

Albums 24-20 are kind of underwhelming IMO.

Iconic album. Runnin With The Devil was everything. Eruption too.

Missed these entries somehow. I would agree that Zanzibar is one of Billy's greatest songs. It wasn't played on the radio much, at a little under 5:30 it might have been too long. I saw Billy live with Elton, and Billy played Zanzibar. He talked a little beforehand about the song, and then...

This is Billy's best work. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant, aka The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie, is the top song in his catalog IMO. Movin Out (Anthony's Song) is such a strong start to the album. "You should never argue with a crazy mamamamamama you oughta know by now"

Last hit on The Police, realizing now that Synchronicity falls outside the time range so it won't come up. Synchronicity is one heck of an album. "Every Breath You Take" was a number one song for months. For my money though, their greatest song is "King of Pain". Among many great songs on...
