The canadians??? Alice in chains? Are you thinking of Nickel Back maybe?

I think you are confused.

But I do agree that AIC was the best band in the early nineties. Hands down. I own very few albums that I can listen to front to back without skipping over songs and they have two of them, Dirt and Jar of Flies.

I also love Sting as well as Fleetwood Mac, Rumours is another one I can listen to front to back.

Van Halen

Audioslave

I've never really matured in music taste from my youth. In fact, if you ask my wife, it's gotten worse (she is definitely wrong on that one).

The older bands/artists that I still regularly listen to and attempt to emulate (very poorly) on the guitar are:

AC/DC (my best band ever)

Rush

Iron Maiden

Thin Lizzy

Johnny Cash

Ted Nugent

Current artists that I really dig are probably more suited for much younger ears, but I don't really want to grow up, so why not. They are exceptional musicians (or, at least that is how I justify it):

Black Label Society

Iced Earth

Porcupine Tree

Opeth

Dropkick Murphys

And a slew of more bands that most have never heard of. I fear if I really grow up and listen to talk radio and the oldies on KQ exlcusively, I'll die young.

No I absolutly hate Nickleback, but I'm almost positive AIC is from Canada, Key word: almost wink.gif

The list of good bands is long. Aerosmith, Zep, Doors, Beatles, Eagles, Van Halen, etc. All of these bands were different, cutting egde, and started some kid of "Fad" if that's what we want to call it.

The greatest band ever has to be different, not sell out to the corporate man, be all about the music, be able to change with times, have super amounts of talent, be approachable, Last almost 4 decades, and still FREAKIN ROCK!!!!!

Rush.

Violent Femmes for me, great guys, and good stuff to listen to.

Hey D4, say hi to "MonkeyHustle", I graduated with Lane. By the way, Social D is right on, not the best but great to jam to.

Bad Religion, though the music has gotten much too watererd down over the last four albums. The lyrics are still thought provoking as ever after 27 years. A dictionary may be required for interpretation of the lyrics.

I would have to say that Nickelback is the worst band I have ever heard musically or lyrically in my opinion.

"You're like my favorite ^&@# disease"

"The living room is a boxing ring. She's drunk again. It's time to fight"

"Haven't you heard don't hit a lady? Kickin' your @$$ would be a pleasure"

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
