Rodney Mullen or Daewon-song??

Mullen all the way because For someone who has left (and is still in the process of leaving) an incredible legacy to the world of skateboarding, Rodney Mullen's start with the sport was fairly inauspicious.  When the second skateboard boom hit in the 1970's, Rodney was eager to ride a board of his own.  He had been watching the neighborhood kids, envious of their boards.  Rodney had asked his father for a skateboard on numerous occasions, but everytime, had been told "NO".  On New Years Eve, 1976, Rodney decided to ask his father for a board just one more time.  In an article written for Thrasher (January 1996 issue), Rodney recalls his fathers response that evening: "He reluctantly made a deal: The first injury I got, or the first time he had caught me without my pads, I had to quit".  \n\nWith his fathers reserved blessing, Rodney wasted no time and marched down to the local shopping mall on January 1st, 1977.  He picked up a black Bonsai aluminum board with precision wheels and ACS trucks.  Prior to this purchase, his father had been concerned that skateboarding was not a very safe sport.  In hindsight, he needn't have worried.  Quickly, Rodney began practicing and learning freestyle tricks - in full pads.  About nine months from the time he received his skateboard, Rodney picked up his first sponsor:  The Inland Surf Shop.  \n\nHe started winning contests in his home state of Florida.  In 1978, Rodney blew a lot of the California pros away when he reached 4th place at the Kona contest.  In 1979, Rodney took top spot at the Oceanside contest in California and was immediately sponsored by Walker.  With all this success, Rodney's father realized that his son had mastered skateboarding.  The only problem was, now his father wanted him to try to master something else.  What was the sport Rodney's father had suggested he pick up?: "Golf," say Rodney, with a tinge of disbelief.  But Rodney didn't pick up the clubs and he kept training.  \n\nIn August of 1980, he received a call from Stacy Peralta inviting him out to a contest in San Diego.  Rodney remembers the time vividly.  "This was to be my last fling."  He was 13 years old and would be competing with top Sims Freestyler Steve Rocco.  The contest was extremely close and the judges kept on awarding the same number of points to both Steve and Rodney.  Eventually, on the last runoff, Rodney won the contest.  It was then that he officially started riding for Powell Peralta.  "After this success", recalls Rodney, "my father was motivated to keep me involved in skateboarding."\n\nIn the early 80's, skateboarding was very much underground.  The sport had peaked, just like in the 60's and now there was only a group of hardcore skaters who kept up with the sport.  Rodney wrote articles for Thrasher magazine that explained, step-by-step, complex freestyle moves.  He wound up in 1st place in almost every contest.  In the mid 80's, the sport picked up again, primarily due to the proliferation of skateboard videos.  The Powell Peralta and Vision Psycho skate videos showcased Rodney's amazing abilities better than any sequential photo spread found in a magazine.  Viewers were in awe of his command of the board.  As Peter Weldrake, owner of Toronto's famous Hogtown Skateboard Shop, recalled, "In the mid 1980's, I had a little black and white television hooked up to a VCR and crowds of people would jam the store in awe of what Rodney was doing.  They had never seen skateboarding like this before!"\n\n    \n\nRodney Mullen at Carson Velodrome, CA - 1987\nPhotos by Lynn Cooper\n\nAs the 80's progressed, Rodney became increasingly famous.  He has some positive memories of the time: "There was so much opportunity.  My friends were doing well."  Rodney wrote in Thrasher "Skating blew up from around 86 to 91.  I felt like a rock star.  I flew on the Concorde.&quo

D'Yer Mak'r by Led Zeppelin?  It's not really an "oldie."  I thought oldies were 50's and early 60's tunes.

NO compition its RODNEY MULLEN by FAR.. . mullen can do triple kickflips, casper slides, do a hand stand on his board make it do a double flip with his hands and land it regular or primo and much better suff. Every time i see a rodney mullen video he has new tricks that are impossible for anyone EXCEPT for him to do!!! Bam is awsome and hawk invented some cool suff and rips it up on vert. No disrespect to them but Rodney could kill them in skate.\n\nlets see tony hawk or bam do this...watch this it is amazing.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb488eCS35c&search=rodney%20mullen\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jnzU1dXZdQ&search=rodney%20mullen

Simply Red seems to work. Or 'the Beautiful South' when they're not being cynical. Barry White is to cheesy to work these days. My rule is: can you hear the words? If you can (and its about love), its probably good. I like 'On and On' by Kevin Max.

The Buzzcocks.  Great song, though I can't say I care much for Pete Yorn's version.  "What do I get" was just playing not too long ago, I'll have to dig out my Buzzcocks stuff now and have a listening party.
