I'm wondering what my fellow bronies think are the best rock albums ever made.

Feel free to include Folk Rock; Heavy Metal; Punk Rock and such...

For me, it's defiantly the following:

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band (1967) by The Beatles

The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) by Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin IV (1971) by Led Zeppelin

Abbey Road (1969) by The Beatles

Wish You Were Here (1975) by Pink Floyd

A Night at the Opera (1975) by Queen

Rumours (1977) by Fleetwood Mac

Led Zeppelin II (1969) by Led Zeppelin

Revolver (1966) by The Beatles

A Hard Day's Night (1964) by The Beatles

Rubber Soul (1965) by The Beatles

Pet Sounds (1966) by The Beach Boys

The Wall (1979) by Pink Floyd

Animals (1977) by Pink Floyd

Meddle (1971) by Pink Floyd

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) by Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin (1968) by Led Zeppelin

The Beatles (The White Album) (1968) by The Beatles

All Things Must Pass (1973) by George Harrison

Band on the Run (1973) by Paul McCartney

Who's Next (1971) by The Who

Tommy (1968) by The Who

Quadrophenia (1975) by The Who

and a dozen more...

Manos: Hands of Fate; Captain America (1979); Captain America II: Death Too Soon; batman and Robin; the room; Garbage Pail Kids...I could go on....

I remember those...and then I saw the movies again and I thought they sucked.

I found it overwrought and cliche. The end message I've heard in at least 90 other films....

And now I shall show thee all three AMAZING ALBUMS by three AMAZING ARTISTS:

The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd

Abbey Road by The Beatles

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys (yes that's technically rock)

I'm surprised at the large amount of "no's" here. For once, I definitely support it - it really gives the show a whole new dynamic and direction, as Twi finally uncovers her destiny. I mean, that is the whole of her coming to Ponyville and having all those wild adventures, no?

 

Now all we need are episodes that will soon uncover other destinies of the mane 6, such as Dash being a Wonderbolt and Rarity being Canterlot famous.

Wasn't Rarity already Canterlot Famous in "Sweet and Elite"? Unless that somehow doesn't count...

And I know this is slightly off topic, but I always wanted to see an episode between Rarity and Blueblood with Blueblood coming clean somehow.

We've reformed Discord, we've redeemed Trixie and Luna....why not Blueblood. He didn't kill anypony, he just acted like a douche bag towards Rarity.

Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Labrotory and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

But I actually think that the new Looney Tunes Show, Regular Show and The Amazing World of Gumball are pretty good.

Yeah,i support twilicorn.I think now that twilight is an allicorn,its actually pretty cool.As long as this does'nt last for eternity.

Well, I'm okay with it going on forever, as long as she has Celestia by her side to comfort her, I think she'll be okay....to be honest, I'm really keeping my options open and waiting for more episodes with her before I truly lock down an opinion.

My opinion hasn't really changed yet, but so far I'm leaning towards support, since I want to see the stuff they might do in Season 4....

For me, until the episode airs:

I do think however, that everybody needs to calm down and wait until the episode airs to actually make a proper judgement....

Below are the links to three stories I've written that crossover MLP with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I hope you enjoy them. So far only one is complete and, yes, I will write ones for Captain America and The Avengers

Iron Mare

Soar (co-written with a friend, it's basically Thor, couldn't come up with a better name as embarrassing as that sounds)

Flutterhulk

So far on FIMFiction they've gotten good reaction.

I don't intend to submit them to Equestria Daily though, they're a tad stuffed up I think.

But, if you can, tell me what you think and all.

Would it be cheating to say that I have, like, 70 favorite movies of all time?

But I'd say that Pixar films are all there (except Cars and Cars 2.)

It helps in all of those cases that there was periodically new content to keep the fandom alive. I think it may be harder with MLP.

True, but if the fourth season does well, then we'll probably get more.

Let's just hope everything works out in the end.

Better to have the show end on an AWESOME high note then go the way of Spongebob....

In America, perhaps. In England and the like, the Doctor Who fandom was significant before the new series. And by-the-by, it wasn't Moffat that rebooted it, it was Russell T. Davies and it's technically not a reboot as it is a continuation. The original serials and even the Fox TV movie still occurred in cannon.

Thanks for the info!

I honestly didn't know that.

I do know, however, that Moffat has had a BIG influence on the show.

I'm actually not a Whovian, but you can't go three clicks on Tumblr without finding a dozen, so I've developed a knowledge of the show through that.

Actually, I've found that their fan fiction section is VERY, VERY biased.

They often turn down damn good stories just because it was written in a unique way.

For instance, the story "Mare-Do-Well: Regeneration" by Mark Garg von Herb is my absloute favorite fan fiction in the fandom right now (yes I did read Past Sins and it was quite good, if a little padded out. But I have NO interest in reading Fallout: Equestria or Background Pony. They're just too depressing)

Anyways, back to the topic.

As I was saying, MDW: Regeneration got rejected because it was written in, and you're not going to believe it, THIRD PERSON, PRESENT TENSE.

Like this:

"She reaches for the cup and takes a drink".

That's it. That was their first complaint.

If I want info on Brony topics, I go take a quick look, see if theirs any major news and then go back to FIMFiction, where I can read a ton of awesome fan fiction.

So I think that if (god forbid) they got taken away, the fandom would probably have a few weeks worth of freaking out and then snap right back to normal.

Not to mention it's been years since something like a  fandom of a new movie, or new TV show has had annual conventions dedicated solely to it. Not even Highlander can claim anything other then small meet-ups, or panels at Sci-Fi cons. 

You sir are correct. The fact that we seem to have grown into those fandoms too kind of concretes us in.

Also the fact that from the interviews we've read so far it seems the show has had a profound effect on a lot of people, not many can claim that.

I personally predict we'll end-up something long staying like Trekkies, or Whoovians. It's not every fandom that digs in this deep and spreads this far.  

Exactly.

I also would like to point out that really, we popped into existance very VERY quickly.

For instance, Whovians weren't really a major fandom force (to my knowledge) until Moffat rebooted the show.

Of course their were Whovians before that, but they didn't have an impact on popular culture like they do now.

Also, we bronies had stuff like the internet and YouTube to help us boost our numbers. and most importantly, Hasbro was kind enough to let the episodes stay up for as long as they did.

Look at Disney, you can't so much as post a clip without getting blocked.

So I think that this fandom will endure and possibly become a part popular culture like Doctor Who and Star Trek.

I have an ungodly amount of favorite songs, but here's a small sample:

 

"Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. 

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines 
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way 
The time is gone, the song is over, 
Thought I'd something more to say." - Time, Pink Floyd

I have like 90 more songs, but I don't want to spam. Since that's no fun is it?

Well, since I'm a major film nerd, I'd figure I'd start a discussion about our favorite films and directors.

What about you guys?

I agree that Celestia and Luna can and should show "human" traits. A lot of things can be immortal, have immeasurable power, and still have the flaws of a non-divine being. Hell, they can even be evil. The most common example of "lower" immortality would probably be any instance of elves, or, if you're feeling dramatic, the undead. 

 

Do you guys think that alicorns simply have extremely long lifespans, like Equestrian dragons do? Longer, shorter?

I like the idea of them having long lifespans. Makes sense.

And in Lord of the Rings, Elves themselves age, just at a slowed rate. I still think that elves age for awhile, then stop at a certain age.

That could explain why all the elves we see in LOTR all look about 25-35 years old, and yet they're thousands of years old.

There hasn't been any mention that alicorns are immortal. I mean there are philly alicorns after all. And I doubt kid viewers would be comfortable about Shining Armor marrying a really old mare. I mean they call Celestia a princess instead of a queen for one thing. Old = evil, young = good.

 

Also there has been no mention of Luna and Celestia leading the ponies to Equestria on the Hearth Eve episode or any of them existing at all.

That is true.

In most fan fictions, they make it so that Celestia and Luna came into being after those events.

But aren't Celestia and Luna on the flag at the end of the episode? I could be wrong though.

Also, on the idea of Cadence being immortal or not, maybe alicorn's grow at a different rate then normal ponies.

Like that they age normal for a period of time, and then, once they reach a certain age (like say, 20 or something) they stop aging all together or at least they age VERY, VERY, VERY slowly.

Kinda like the Asgardians in Marvel Comics.

Well, it's now official that regular ponies can become alicorns, at least that's how it looks right now. I'm super intrigued about this episode now. May give us some insight as to how alicorns work.

And they did say that they'd give us some back ground on Celestia and Luna this season

They also said that we'd get to see Flutterdragon or Rarity and Octavia singing a duet, but no such luck.

Take a deep breath before posting guys, because the statuses EXPLODED with people's initial reactions a couple minutes ago.

 

Think about it:

People freaked out over that new princess they were going to add, and we got Cadence and Shining Armor. People freaked out over Discord becoming good, and it ended up being a terrific episode. Why would Alicorn Twilight be any different?

 

The staff have been working together to create the magic that is My Little Pony ever since Season 1. I have complete faith in them.

This guy took the words right out of my mouth.

I'd actually kinda like to see how they do this. If they keep the change, this would be a great way to show how the other characters react and teach a lesson about learning responsibly and the consequences of your actions (which I say you can never have enough of in this modern world)

If they have her go back to normal, then it can teach the lesson that nothing, not even immortality and absolute power, is worth losing your friends over.

Either way it'd make a good message.

Well, I don't listen to that much modern pop music, since, well in my opinion it sucks.

But I do have particular dislike for the following.

99.999999999999% of rap artists

Lady Gaga

Miley Cyrus

Justin Bieber

Nikji Namji

99.99999999999% of Heavy Metal/Deathmetal bands (although I must admit that Metallica's Master of Puppets has a killer riff. But I still hate the song)

Nickleback (duh)

Maroon 5.

And that's it really.

Who/what powers Tanks helmet?

It seems to be magic. What with the glow and all. 

Okay, I finally got to see the episode (don't have the hub, only youtube)

and I must say

BEST EPISODE ALL SEASON!

I was dying

The industrial strength pet hair dryer was insanity.

And did anybody notice Cheerailee and Big Mac walking together in the background? Cause I did.

And Written Script and Carrot Top hugging?

I swear the show writer's know about I our shippings and do this to troll us.

I've got like twenty, but I do know that these are definitely in the Top Ten:

The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd

Abbey Road by The Beatles

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

The Wall by Pink Floyd

A Night at the Opera by Queen

and a ton more....cause Old School is Best School

Does anyone else think that the way they reformed Discord was done so that if they wanted to make him a villain again, they could without that much fuss?

Now I don't think they'll do that, but if they did they'd at least have a reason you know?

Does anyone else think that the way they reformed Discord in this episode left the door open for the writers to make him a villain again if they wanted him to?

I mean that way they don't exactly have to do a long winded explanation, they could just say he faked it.

I personally think they won't do that, since the backlash would be like nothing we've ever seen.
