I don't know if you've watched The Leftovers (HBO) but there's a fantastic story arc loosely tied around this show. It's surreal. And composer Max Ritcher did the theme up all pretty. The title of the episode is "Don't Be Ridiculous" in a nod to Balki's catchphrase from the old sitcom.

Ren & Stimpy, loved that show - ranks right up there w/ Beavis & Butthead, South Park.
HM: SpongeBob.
Kids In The Hall was pretty funny, I was thinking about that show the other day.
Never heard of NM's Doug show...I'll check it out.
@NervousPerson Do you remember 'Not Necessarily The News' on 80's HBO - US. It came on right before KidsInTheHall. The intro song was Eric Clapton's 'Motherless Children', one of my favs of his solo career.

I don't remember that but I'm Canadian and I don't think we had access to HBO in the '80s. Good tune though.
Also, the show was called "Norm" eventually (they changed the name from the Norm Show) . He's a former professional hockey player turned social worker. It has a good line in it when his coworkers were razzing him for being a bad player. "I was only a bad hockey player compared to other professional hockey players." I lol'd.

I just listened to Ren & Stimpy - Big House Blues...excellent! (pretty sure the 1st ~ 24sec. are a faster vs of Rockin' Daddy by Howlin' Wolf)
If you like that, you'll love these:

"I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again"
"In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines"

The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions featured:
Hubert Sumlin (aka Howlin' Wolf)
Eric Clapton
Ian Stewart - Stones pianist, aka "Stu"...on occasion he also played with a few other really famous bands (as studio/session musician): Led Zepp (Boogie For Stu on Physical Graffiti), The Beatles/The Who among others. RIP.
Bill Wyman - Stones bassist
Charlie Watts - Stones drummer, RIP.
Ex-Blind Faith keyboardist - Steve Winwood
On the first day, May 2, Watts and Wyman were unavailable, and a call went out for immediate replacements. Many showed up, but only recordings featuring Klaus Voormann and Ringo Starr were released from that day.[8] In the initial album credits, Starr is listed as "Richie,"
Klaus Voorman is a longtime friend of the Beatles going back to early 60's, ~'61/62 Hamburg Days, well before they went viral. They even lived together. He designed the Revolver album cover & is credited on some of their pieces & solo projects.

the covers are better than the original, though all are good overall.

Hip hop has been my genre since I was a kid. Little white kid in the Detroit suburbs, just banging Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and Baby Got Back all over the neighborhood in the 80s and 90s while my dad yelled for me to "turn down that rap crap!" Anyway, I have a deep love and appreciation for the art form, probably moreso than ever. And mumble rap can go die a fiery, painful death. It's garbage. And if anyonethinks that makes me an old hip hop grandpa yelling at clouds, well, you're wrong and you suck as much as mumble rap
I don't visit this thread much, so not sure if hip hop gets covered all that much other than these recent posts, but here's one this forum might like a little bit. Underground rapper from Halifax I'm a fan of. Wordburglar. Judging by the video, and the 80s Tacks he whips out, he might be the worst skater in Canada, but this track is pretty apropos for a music thread in a hockey forum. Who doesn't like some hockey history and a positive message wrapped up in a rap track?

I'll get the lemonade ready so you and @DATSOMATIC13 can stay hydrated while you're bitching from the porch.

Hahaha!
1. Define "lemonade"
2. On a serious note, I'd love to hear your feedback on this excellent scientific study (article) I posted earlier: https://truththeory.com/mumble-rap-...like-drake-lil-pump-6ix9ine-trippie-redd-etc/
@Bench, I know you to be an intelligent young man, who can at least recognize good music (Muse, our commonality). But being there's ~ a 25yr. gen. gap & probably 40-50yr+ musical gap in our preferred genres, it'll be interesting to hear your take, I mean that.
3. @jaster & I don't need no stinkin' porches, we take to the streets like the hippies of the '60's did. Here's our most recent adventure:

I think the article was a convoluted mess to help someone personally work through why they think their tastes are superior.
The elder generation putting their stamp of disapproval on the previous one and its slide into chaos goes back to ancient Greek writings. The arguments are so recycled and boring at this point I can't be bothered to care when I hear someone complain about kids today and that stuff they do I don't understand.
