Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed Civil Rights Day - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Alternate Holiday Names:
I think the name should stay because it not only honours the man who died for the cause, but it reminds people about the fight that had to take place to even have the issues recognized.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed The Kids Get a Bunch of Toys Day - Christmas in Alternate Holiday Names:
Clearly this alternative name is not going to get any traction with the reviewers on this site.

It is worth noting however that this is one of the few llist items submitted by Binniethebloodybooh that doesn't reference bodily fluids.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed U2 in Most Overrated Rock Band:
They are the only band to ever be nominated for the Grammy Awards 'Most Overrated Rock Band', 'Most Humourless Album' and 'Most Self Important Performance by an Artist or Band' in the same year and win all three.

She would have been 'cargo pants' to me.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed Baby Got Back in What You Love About the 90's:
I pretty much checked out on the popular music of this decade so I don't even know the tune, artist or anything about it. But I've heard the title as a catch phrase so often that I'm actually sick of a song that I may never have heard.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed American Pie - Don MacLean in Greatest Songs Ever:
Could there possibly be a more predictable choice for a list like this? How be we scratch it and put 'Ooh La La' by the Faces in its place.

Comment Icon FranksWildYears commented on a review of Werewolves of London in Greatest Songs Ever:
I think Zevon wrote a ton of great songs, and even wrote his own Eulogy on the album The Wind. But Desperadoes Under the Eaves is as close as any artist has ever come to summing themselves up completely in under 5 minutes.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed White Wedding (Billy Idol) in Greatest Songs Ever:
Not by any empirical measure that could stand up to an audit does this song make it onto a list of Greatest Songs Ever. Only serious payola or questionble taste in music could even get it in the door at the awards ceremony.

That said, this song isn't alone on this list as an entry that wouldn't clear the usual scrutiny for durable qulaity.

Comment Icon FranksWildYears commented on a review of Unemployment hits 9.8%, a twenty-six year high in Events of 2009:
Maybe the nation would have been better off it it hadn't expended so much energy in the 90's on the development of newer and better types of cargo pants.

That's an impressive Doomsday Clock. It looks like the last person working in America will be in Cherry County, Nebraska.
