You hate the way teams can unexpectedly rise to the top? That's stupid. It's what makes sports worthwhile, although your Dallas example is a bad one, lots of analysists picked them to go deep into the playoffs before the season. Parody can get tiresome but 'any given Sunday' is what makes the NFL worth watching.

While I certainly agree Ozzy is more iconic than Axl they're not too far apart. I mean Sabbath was before MTV and even before much metal was out, so revisionist history will not be able to make him a huge star off of those days. His solo stuff... yeah there's some classics, but it doesn't get huge play in Rock Docs or Metal Docs apart from Crazy Train. Sabbath may have started a movement in music, but Ozzy's solo stuff was simply great, not revolutionary.

I would never call Axl or GN'R revolutionary, but in recent Rock Docs GN'R is presented as a shift away from glam and an important marker in rock history that Ozzy's solo career is not. Personally the differences between GN'R and other heavy glam like Motley Crue, apart from quality, are unclear. But that's how it's presented.

My final defense is that GN'R's quick rise and burnout may have helped him become an icon. Same deal with Kurt Cobain. I'm no Pearl Jam fan, but with all the material they've had, and success, why is Kurt more well known? It's because Nirvana blew up and then crashed in its prime. GN'R's may be the best example in music history of rise and fall that didn't involve a death.

Hopefully I made sense, I don't know.

The original 'The Vanishing' is my favorite, although I rarely see foreign films. I remember loving 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger' when it was made but I haven't seen it in years.

Galaxie - Blind Melon
Across the Nation - The Union Underground

There are lots of songs good for driving, but I can only remember a few.
