My parents are turning 60 and I'm throwing them a surprise party. In creating a relevant mix of music, I realized my parents' experiences with music greatly exceeded my own (if we assume my own do not include music my parents listend to).

Top Music - My Parents (i.e. stuff they liked):

Led Zeppelin
The Rolling Stones
Elton John
Billy Joel
The Doors
Bob Dylan
Pink Floyd
Cream (and/or Eric Clapton)
Queen
Moody Blues

Top Music - Me (i.e. stuff I liked not including stuff my parents like):

Pearl Jam
Tool
Clutch
Dave Matthews Band (I listened to them for years so have to be included)
System of a Down
Wu Tang Clan

Weak sauce greek, weak sauce.

Do your parents like Dinosaurs and folk-ish music? If so, I suggest:

I told my brother I was going to drop in some Tool. "Our grandparents will have heart attacks," he replied.

My son likes dinosaurs and my parents like folk music (e.g. Loggins & Messina, DMB - although not technically folk). I guess they're more into classic hard rock. They told me a story about how, when they were dating, they drove to a Zeppelin show in Baltimore and slept in the car the night before the concert and the night after.

Did your parents do lots of drugs?
Cos if they did, you should include 'Tonto's Expanding head Band", "Blue Cheer", and "White Noise", not to mention Velvet Underground. And even if they didn't, how 'bout the Beatles, Lovin' Spoonful, Beach Boys, Who, Kinks, Pretty Things, Faces, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, ,Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, John Mayall,, Soft Machine, Chicago, ...

Oh, I see, this was a "trap Jonesey" therad. Congratulations. Yes, I AM the same age as your parents,tgd. Oh and why weren't you at my show in Cape May, huh?

Incidentallly, I think my own favorite era for popualr music was probably around 1976-83.

[thegreekdog]

I'm fairly certain my parents stopped at pot, but who knows?

Of the musical acts you've listed, Beach Boys, Who, Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac would be on my parents' list. They (like me) despise the Beatles.

I wasn't at your Cape May show because I didn't go to the shore that weekend. Work interfered with my personal life, which happens often.

And my favorite era of music was 1989 to 1995.

I can understand them feeling that the Beatles are overrated. I am in that boat myself but despise? really?

Sorry, I'm pretty busy with real life. It's expensive too. I'm in for over $800 for a partially finished 1/8th scale electric R/C buggy.

Here's a post.

1 Year Anniversary of Curiosity on Mars

Click image to enlarge.

This self-portrait of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity combines dozens of exposures taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager during the 177th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars, plus three exposures taken during Sol 270 to update the appearance of part of the ground beside the rover.

Curiosity, which is the size of a car, traveled 764 yards (699 meters) in the past four weeks since leaving a group of science targets where it worked for more than six months. The rover is making its way to the base of Mount Sharp, where it will investigate lower layers of a mountain that rises three miles from the floor of the crater.

...

Scientists decided first to investigate closer outcrops where the mission quickly found signs of vigorous ancient stream flow. These were the first streambed pebble deposits ever examined up close on Mars.

Evidence of a past environment well suited to support microbial life came within the first eight months of the 23-month primary mission from analysis of the first sample material ever collected by drilling into a rock on Mars.

"We now know Mars offered favorable conditions for microbial life billions of years ago," said the mission's project scientist, John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "It has been gratifying to succeed, but that has also whetted our appetites to learn more. We hope those enticing layers at Mount Sharp will preserve a broad diversity of other environmental conditions that could have affected habitability."

The mission measured natural radiation levels on the trip to Mars and is monitoring radiation and weather on the surface of Mars, which will be helpful for designing future human missions to the planet. The Curiosity mission also found evidence Mars lost most of its original atmosphere through processes that occurred at the top of the atmosphere. NASA's next mission to Mars, Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), is being prepared for launch in November to study those processes in the upper atmosphere.

If you have a triple barrel shotgun do you really need a panic room?

I may or may not have watched episode 2.

I've been subscribed to Tyrranicon for quite a while. You should check out his "Adventures of Throthgar" videos as well.

Also worthy of mention are his "Great Battles of Skyrim" videos.

Well, when you have accuracy like Church does from Red vs Blue, you need the panic room first and foremost.
