Easy bein' Green.

Well, the Incredible Hulk comes out pretty soon here. And it got me thinkin'.

What is it about the Hulk that people find appealing? I've always loved the US Gold created masterpiece "The Incredible Hulk" for the Super NES, possibly the most underrated bad guys limbs blowing across the screen after getting punched game ever made (an over looked genre to begin with), but how do the comics and movies even intrest people?

Let's look at the comics. I've only read the early ones, right up untill he meets the Abomination for the first time. The story just never grabbed me. The dude gets angry, he becomes the Hulk. But why should I care? And why should I feel compassion for Bruce Banner? He always seemed like an **** to me. The only person he cares for is Betty, as he constantly fails to realise the one person who actually cares for him, a flat 1D character known as Rick, is always overlooked. Plus, his villans suck. Terror of the ToadMen? I mean, what is that?

The movie "The Hulk" I will just stay away from.

It's just really got me thinkin'. Why love the Hulk? What's he gonna do for you? You get in trouble, he's not even gonna help you out! Even if you're Rick Jones! So style your hair into a black little bob and have a man nicknamed Thunderbolt as your father or he ain't gonna do nothin'.

So in protest, I am going to stay away from this movie, and instead spend one more day battling Tyranus in his underground prison. And watching his minons limbs fly explode across the screen, thank you very much.

25 Greatest Albums Of All Time

This is just a list I made of my absolute favourite albums of all time. No, it's not based on how influential they were or anything like that (though you might think that by looking at it 'cuz I dig that kind of music) It's just a list of the records I thought were, as a hole, amazing. Lastly, I did this just because I was bored.

1. Revolver - The Beatles - In my opinion, the greatest album ever made. Just because every song on the album is good, it's got mindless pyschedelida, Tibetan book of the Dead, french horns, and of course, a sitar filled track. It all comes together very nicely, and has always been my personal favourite album.

2. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan - This is another simply stunning album. Dylan has gone electric, and he's done with the slight angriness he had sprinkled throught Highway 61 Revisited. It's got Visions of Johanna, Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, Absolutley Sweet Marie, and countless others of my favourite Dylan songs. This one can't be beat. Well I guess it can because it's number 2. But whatever.

3. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys - There's a theme going on with the top 3. It's this high because it's one of the few albums that I find has not one bad song on it. Not one piece of filler, everything is top notch writing and amazingly recorded.

4. The Beatles (White Album) - The Beatles - Now we take a bit of a turn. Though the White Album may not be consintley amazing, especially drawing near the end, it's a beautiful mess. Nothing keeps it together, it has hard rocking numbers, sweet ballads, and even a tinge of country. It all comes together to make the best double album ever made.

5. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan - This is Dylan's debut. Though Bob Dylan may have been his actual debut, this one is definetley the real deal. It showed where he was going and what talent he had.

6. Rubber Soul - The Beatles - This was the turning point for The Beatles. After this, everything was gold. And this album was gold too, maybe even some super metal even better than gold.

7. IV - Led Zeppelin - It's IV. That's really all you can say. It's the definition of epic set to music. Oh, btw, favourite track; The Battle of Evermore, because you knew Stairway was coming right after it.

8. Live At Massey Hall 1971 - Neil Young - Probably the newest Album on here, well, release wise anyway. It could have and should have been released as an album after it was recorded, but just the fact that it did get releaesed eventually is good enough for me. Killer stuff.

9. Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd - I gotta have Darkside. I mean c'mon. Everyone should have Dark Side on a list like this. Please.

10. Live At Leeds - The Who - The Best live album ever made. Then wait, shouldn't it be above Massey hall you say? Well you'd be correct. Fine, the best Live album by a dude who wasn't Canadian ever made. Totally rockin', play it loud.

11. The Doors - The Doors - The best debut in music! Sadly, the Doors never topped it. Great stuff anyway, especially the first half.

12. Modern Times - Bob Dylan - Bobby D's newest album, and what an album it was. I love it.

13. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon - This is angst before angst was cool. Bands now try to write like an immature teenager and fail miserably. Lennon did it all with talent. Simple title's like Mother, Love, and God lead to simple but amazing songs about being brought up, love, and religion.

14. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Another debut that couldn't be topped. The man with the guitar KILLS.

15. Tommy - The Who - Rock operas are an amazing idea, but they rarely turn out good. Here's one that did.

16. Nevermind - Nirvana - I don't find Nirvana to be that good as a whole, but as long as people remember this album, they can be gods. It's soooo great.

17. A Night At The Opera - Queen - Some people think it's a concept album but it's not. I really like it though, it's layered and loveley just like all Queen.

18. Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones - I'm not the biggest Stones fan, but I love the string of amazing albums they did in the late 60s early 70s. This is my favourite of the 4 and got on the list.

19. The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert - Bob Dylan - Judas!

20. Sea Change - Beck - This is the most depressing album I own. If you want to know what Beck's about, don't buy this album. But if your girlfriend just dumped you and you like amazing music, you could listen to it all night.

21. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel - This one maybe deserves higher on the list. Almost every song on here is gold, and some of themost catchy chorusus and melodies ever made.

22. Damn The Torpedoes - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - I love Tom Petty, but sadly, the most consistent album in his discog is "Greatest Hits". And this exception that totally rocks.

23. At Folsom Prison - Johnny Cash - I can't put into words how outlaw country this album is. He's at a jail singing about Cocaine. It's great stuff.

24. Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan - The comeback!

25. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 - The Traveling Wilburys - This album is incredibly fun. The way it's written isn't mind blowing change your life stuff, it's just fun music to listen to.

Well, there ya have it. If you've read this far...Well, I doubt anyone will. But if someone does, good on ya.

Erok rocks the Gspot

Summer is officially over and I once again have free time on weekday nights!

Y'know what that means? I'll be back on gamespot! Woo! So hey all there who missed me after my long trek out livin' life, and hope you've all been rockin' well. I did way too much stuff well I was away to list it here, but gamewise, I've been increasing my SNES collection (as always) and went through a brief Guitar Hero addiction. Besides that, no new systems or what, I've just been rockin' in the free world.

See ya around

All in all, it's just another brick in the wall.

I just wanted to say sorry to all of you out there, I doubt I've been posting on your blogs much. I'm finding it harder and harder what with school, social activites, and the like. I'll still try to go on Gamespot when I have a chance, but you might not see me post as much as you'd like.

Until another time

Erok.

An Insightful Blog

Is something I just can't write. I look at some of your blog's (redbandana2's in particular) and wonder, how can they write so well? I guess it's just a gift. So, seeing as how I can't write an insightful blog I'll just write about something I think is totally awesome. NHL hockey.

The Vancouver Canucks won their game yesterday, making them first in the Northwest Divison, third overall! Woohoo! Thier losing 2-1 in the game their playing right now, which doesn't matter because they don't have to win it. So I can see why they'd put a total siv like Sabourin in net. Anyway, on a sad note, the NY Islanders won their game, which means the Leafs did not make it in the playoffs. My hopes were so high after they won 6-5 yesterday, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for listening to me talk about something your probably not all that interested in, but if you are, how bout leaving a comment about your opinions in hockey?

Album Review

Please Please Me The Beatles
"Turn it up!"
The Beatles are known for groudbreaking stuff that changed the music world (music videos, reverse guitar, other studio experiments) but their debut album just featured classic mo town tunes along with some original material. It's still great though. "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" and "A Taste of Honey" haven't aged well, but "I Saw Her Standing There", "Please Please Me" and "Twist and Shout" are all still great to sing along to. If your expecting the Beatles hits you've come acustomed to, this album might be a bit of a dissapointment, but it's still a great rocker and a good starter for the fab four.

Album Review

Revolver - UK The Beatles
"Masterpiece"
Revolver by The Beatles is the best album I have ever heard. It all flows together so well, and all of the songs are great. You will never feel the need to skip a track listening to this album. Another great fact about the album, it is the only original studio album to feature three Harrison tracks. And they are definetley some of the man's best. Taxman is a great rocker, Love You To is the first of his Indian inspired music to appeal to more westrened themed minds, and I Want to Tell You is just that feeling of not being able to say what your feeling. The other songs on the album are all amazing, specifically the final track, Tomorrow Never Knows. It hints at the direction The Beatles were just about to take, right before they blew the world away with Pepper.

"Legend"
Everything that has to be said has been said about The Beatles, so it is very hard to write a review for them. All I can say is music would be very different today without them, and their music truly has remained timeless.

Album Review

Revolver The Beatles
"Throwback"
Three tracks from Revolver had already appeared in the US on Yesterday...and Today, so they were simply ommited for this version. Luckily, you can only buy the UK versions on CDs, so no one really rememebers this 28 minute version of Revolver.

Perfect

Album Review

Abbey Road The Beatles
"Timeless"
Abbey Road was the Beatles last album, though not last to be released (The over Spector-sized Let it Be holds that destinction) and it definetley was a great way to go. The first half of the album is standard Beatles affair, featuring two of Harrison's finest compositions and all of the great Lennon/McCartney work we've come to expect. The second half consists of an almost melodic sway of some short unfinished songs that had been written earlier. It sounds great, and the only complaint would have been to end with The End, and just throw away Her Majesty. Still, an amazing album and a great choice for anyone remotley interested in the Beatles legacy.

About Me

My name is Erok. I'm a genrally liked person, as I have never felt the need to get angry at anything. Happiness to me is good friends, good music, and good times. Gamespot is a great place for me, as I like opinionizing on things, and games are one of them. And the blogs you get to read and write here are great too, so I'm ussually on this site a bit too much. Seeing as how I like reading these blogs though, track me if you wish because I will track you back. Anyway, that's me in a condensed "about me" box form.
