2:38
there's nine together
2:39
the best yeah there's 19 artists who are
2:41
the top 20 there oh
2:44
he's gotta be late fifties early sixties
2:47
you know Sammy 70 yeah I know well
2:50
diamond doesn't sing the way he used to
2:51
he never was the singer he's a performer
2:53
hits a frontman he's just and he's
2:55
fantastic you know he does the dance
2:57

3:00
yeah he's not Frank Sinatra you're not
3:02
going there to watch he's dying with
3:03
Dave I love him yeah it should be noted
3:06
here that now that Roth is back that
3:07
they haven't released a new album since
3:09
2012 different kind of truth which would
3:11
had David Lee Roth on it it's a great
3:12
heavy rock oh boy it is okay you know
3:15
what I wasn't it okay I don't know it
3:18
right my son's love it my other sons
3:20
love it good night interesting just bare
3:22
old yeah I it's true it's harder for us
3:25
again because it's time energy to listen
3:27
to music where my boys who are teenagers
3:30
are once 20 now but definitely dude they
3:32
listen to musical I remember like living
3:34
papers and listening to one Jon Bon Jovi
3:38
solo album yeah cuz he had time let me
3:40
what time I had the times yes into
3:42
anyways Whitney Houston number 19 oh
3:44
we've got Sammy elbows I sold sorry one
3:46
sec 165 million thing was worse no six
3:48
five million fifty six point five
3:50
million records not too bad not too
3:52
shabby I'm surprised they look that low
3:54
that's pretty good though it all was
3:57
amazing so Whitney Houston so when he
3:59
used to beat them just by half a million
4:01
I'm surprised she's not hired well she's
4:03
doing pretty hard she has been pretty
4:05
high yeah I thought she'd be higher
4:08
know her crew is kind of you know down
4:11
the drain
4:14
yeah it's really kind of sunk to a new
4:17
low it's hard to get your voice out
4:20
there when you're just drowning in and
4:22
everything else Jeepers Creepers
4:24
[Laughter]
4:29
Waiting to Exhale yeah I got that oh
4:32
yeah she's waiting exhale okay all right
4:34
well yeah I mean she exhaled and anyways
4:38
much like Bobby Brown yeah her life is
4:40
got a pretty poopy so we need a very
4:44
popular The Bodyguard single which is
4:46
fine if her biggest single was a cover
4:48
song my dolly partner wow I'm Dalene you
4:51

4:54
job all right okay are you all right my
4:56

4:57

4:59
Metallica coming in at number 18
5:02
Metallica comes in at number 18 that's
5:04
number meeting him that's right rib and
5:07
I met Rob truly old and heard their
5:08
bassist for the last two albums we saw
5:11
Megadeth and suicidal tendencies lie the
5:14
1993 great show I
5:17
love that show suicidal tendencies with
5:20
I will say with their gold team lineup a
5:24
very deep Dicky I Ament know if any of
5:26
our listeners know who's suicidal is but
5:28
you had a mic mirror rocky rocky George
5:31
truly Oh Mike Clark and I forgot the
5:34
drummer always forget the drummer anyway
5:36
so truly so we the tour bus was leaving
5:38
the show after the show's over so we
5:40
were in a little crappy car and I was
5:41
driving yeah and I was like let's follow
5:43
this tour bus or not we thought it was
5:45
negative we did but lo and behold it was
5:47
suicidal tendencies and they signed our
5:49
ticket stubs everything that really cool
5:50
I remember truly was signing my ticket
5:52
yeah it was so cool yeah that's so cool
5:54
so the tackle we're big fans I've seen
5:56
Metallica live six times Wow yeah twice
5:59
it amazed me just three okay last tour I
6:02
mean yeah and we actually have on or
6:03
worst of the best episode the good
6:05
Metallica fan go check out that episode
6:06
where we covered our latest time seeing
6:08
them all right probably not gonna make
6:10
the worst list yeah Mariah Carey she's
6:13
got a healthy set of lungs one time I
6:15
bought one of problems by accident well
6:19
I wasn't bought up I had it and I
6:21
remember I somehow got into it and I had
6:24
it cranked a little high like in the car
6:26
stereo and I was driving down University
6:29
Heights parking lot and someone's like
6:31
hey
6:33
somebody's laughing at me and and do you
6:36
know what they're right yeah but I had
6:38
that moment of like you know enjoying
6:40
the jam sure so Brian she beat Metallica
6:44
by a little bit thereby 1 million copies
6:46
64 million she's a pop princess who rose
6:50
to fame thinks a large part to MTV of
6:52
course sure she's the singer that gets a
6:54
really high squealy pitched voice yeah I
6:57
think it's due to her healthy set of
6:59
lungs that she's able to get that
7:01
high-pitched voice out there it's a very
7:03
buoyant voice
7:04
keeps the audience afloat
7:07
you know what I love about her
7:10
now look at this picture of Madge before
7:13
I know we all have to get older I'm just
7:15
gonna say it's not sorry because we've
7:17
talked about this in our previous
7:18
episodes this is what plastic surgery
7:20
makes you look like and that's all I'm
7:21
sorry like she's done worse for him boy
7:24
she's got butt implants what is she
7:27
doing she's literally 60 something she's
7:29
if she says she's 60 and I gotta say as
7:31
like this is a human I felt bad for her
7:34
I know and that's what I got some type
7:36
of body dysmorphia to think that somehow
7:38
that this is important improvement
7:40
that's weird to me I will say and I mean
7:43
this with no misogynistic whatever you
7:45
know is I'm so afraid the same thing
7:47
nowadays the today's society but she was
7:49
extremely
7:50
attractive and sexy in there in her like
7:53
from 1808 eighteen to forty five I was
7:56
saying how long mirror yeah this
7:58
beautiful how Mirren she's 72 Rail
8:00
Street with its membership it's a lovely
8:02
woman and these are people that don't
8:04
touch their face though maybe they need
8:05
a little bit lift here some but
8:06
something very but when you get plastic
8:09
surgery you don't look like I don't know
8:12
what I'm looking at yeah anyways I feel
8:15
bad anyway so Cofer Bruce bracing boss

12:23
Pink Floyd album the one with the prism
12:26
I have never listened to an album all
12:28
with you know neither why I've missed
12:31
the boat it's pretty what happen
12:32
sometimes so I actually can't speak to
12:35
them and I can't speak to George Strait
12:37
either she made it clear I'm probably
12:38
almost I'm I'm just this much more
12:41
familiar with Pink Floyd as I am to
12:42
George Strait music I know you know
12:45
brick on the wall oh yes then fishbowl
12:48
there's just two souls swimming in a
12:50
fish bowl wish you were here wish you
12:51
were here that's that song I think oh
12:53
that's a line from that song okay so I
12:56
could probably listen to four or five
12:58
songs and think ah that's how I know who
13:00
they are but I don't know them I just
13:01
don't it's not a Cylon them I just my
13:04
universe is never connected to them yeah
13:06
so I don't think I can put them in my
13:08
worst because I don't know enough about
13:10
her yeah we don't know we're not gonna
13:12
judge them yeah you can't judge you if
13:14
we don't know you but I know we
13:16
definitely like I know them as well as I
13:17
know George Strait so I'm say minus five
13:19
songs okay they seem very happy here

13:25
speaking of boys speaking of very happy
13:27
Alton John 77 million I love Elton yes I

13:40
likes to play after that's it his hair

14:42
right now it's almost better that he
14:44

14:47
what incredible talent incredible talent
14:51
just another individual who's a genius
14:53
musically but boys might his life was
14:55
tragic tragic childhood abused but in
15:00
there was genius a musical performer
15:01
genius you know what just kind of weird
15:03
because it just kind of happened to him
15:06
use this born to the family you go yeah
15:09
just kind of fell on his lap DNA and
15:11
luck hopefully no kids fell in his lap
15:13

I've been on the fence kind of here and
15:18
there and now I totally but he is
15:21
innocent okay if he did if he if he did
15:24
some reading on it not like conspiracy
15:25

15:29
followed bones tapped for 10 years solid
15:33
nothing came up from the State Police
15:37
the federal the FBI okay for 10 years
15:41
followed him right nothing okay alright
15:45
there's there's no evidence there was
15:47
just an accusation which was very murky
15:49
and think about nobody says he's died
15:52
has ever said anything yeah that's true
15:54
that's true let's go play yeah forget
15:56
about that now's the time to sign a room

16:01
guy in musical genius okay fair enough I
16:03
