Definitely, definitely Jackson Five.

I mean Guns N Roses.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
ever listen to the early stuff, see emily play,echos, saucerful of secrets, relics? thats all the acid tripping days.

Pink Floyd with Roger Waters without a doubt. Supertramp, Zeppelin, GNR
Now for some bands/artists I DON'T want to see get back together or put out more music:
Menudo
Milli Vanilli
Spice Girls
New Kids on The Block
The Osmond Brothers
Vanilla Ice
WHAM
actually Vanilla Ice is back, he does rap metal now haha.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

The Doors.
They had so much potential.

Beatles songs sound like something they would play in a damn homosexual nightclub.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Your statements just prove your lack of validity on the subject.Originally posted by crowes22
You have got to be kidding. The TRUE best band of ALL time, hands down is Led Zeppelin. Beatles songs sound like something they would play in a damn homosexual nightclub.
Nobody came close to Zeppelin when they were together, and now 30 years later, they are still on top.
Yeah, his voice does suck now. But so ****ing what? Tell me, have you ever seen them live? No, and neither have I. It's been almost 30 years since they've performed live. And that's really the only reason they need to get back together...**** any new albums, just go on tour and show today's bands how it's done. Because no band in the history of rock rocks harder than Zeppelin. Sure, the Beatles may have written better songs, and the Stones were on top of their game for about 3 times as long, but it can't, just CAN NOT be disputed that Zeppelin rocks the hardest.Originally posted by Desdinova
Personally, I wouldn't like seeing Zeppelin get back together. Robert Plant's voice isn't holding up very well anymore. Go buy Page & Plant Unledded and you'll see what I mean. Also remember that album's 10 years old already.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
OK man, I respect what the Beatles did as far as breaking through, but none of their music did anything for me, EVER.Originally posted by familyguyfan

Although I think early Beatles stuff still is great music, I can understand why people think the Beatles are overrated when they only hear that stuff. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that's all you've heard. If that's the case, then don't go saying they suck cause you haven't heard it all. If you have heard it all, and you still can't admit to their incredible songwriting prowess, then you truly don't have any appreciation for music.
So go and listen to Revolver and the White Album before you say that the Beatles suck.
And I do love Zeppelin as well. They definitely have much more talent at playing instruments, but the Beatles were much better songwriters.
