One time I listene to Cherry Chapstick 86 times in a row...great band.

One time a 380 lb man avalanched me... just engulfed me in a body splash in a moshpit. I haven't been in one since.

Oops...Sante Fe is the Bob Dylan & The Band song... I'm an idiot...yes Albuquerque.

God, you just made me really miss college...Exile on Mainstreet w/ Whiskey. Damn...what a time.

Siamese Dream was one of the absolute best albums of the 90s...in my top 10 or 15. that being said that was 15 years ago... My sister didn't exist then... she has her learner's permit now... It's a shame Billy couldn't stop while he was ahead, he just had to get more and more ridiculous, while simultaneously sucking out all of the fun that made the early work (Gish, Siamese Dream and the rarities disc Pisces Iscariot) so damn compelling. Zwan made a good record but it was missing something. And Billy stopped using his Fender Strat > First Issue Big Muff > Marshall rig. That gui

Younger Than Yesterday is my favorite. When I'm in the mood for an album like Sweetheart, I tend to find myself reaching for Flying Burrito Brothers instead, to be honest. Still a great album though. 01. Younger Than Yesterday 02. Sweetheart of the Rodeo 03. Mr. Tambourine Man 04. Notorious Byrd Brothers 05. Fifth Dimension 06. Turn! Turn! Turn! those are the only albums i have by the Byrds sadly.

I made a mix cd for a drive I had about 4 months ago: on it was: 01. "Second Hand News" by Fleetwood Mac 02. "Stuck Inside of Mobile" by Bob Dylan 03. "Friend of The Devil" by The Dead 04. "Caravan" by Van Morrison 05. "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman 06. "Beachwood Park" by The Zombies 07. "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band 08. "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground 09. "Out on The Tiles" by Led Zeppelin 10. "Laughing" by R.E.M. 11. "Run For Your Life" by The Beatles 12. "Albuquerque" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse 13. "Metal Fire Cracker" by Lucinda Williams 14. "Not For T

Depends on time of day for me...my dad and I drove 15 hours about a year back and this is what I remember listening to: Morning: R.E.M.- Murmur Neil Young- Tonight's The Night (You haven't lived until you've seen the sunrise coming up on the highway to the chorus of Albuquerque) The Beatles- Rubber Soul Mid Day: Grateful Dead- American Beauty Bob Dylan- Blonde on Blonde (ACTUALLY GOT STUCK INSIDE of MOBILE TO SYNCH UP WITH US DRIVING THROUGH MOBILE) Johnny Cash- At Folsom Prison Afternoon: The Band- The Band The Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream The Zombies- Oddessy & Oracle

I like that song, but I swear I've heard the chorus to that in another song...It vaguely reminds me of "Girl From the North Country" in terms of melodic phrasing...but there's another song it reminds me of that I can't put my finger on.

Frickin' A...7 AM lol.

Nico's voice is a little off putting at first. Sooo how about this Ryan Adams character...can we get back to talking about him?

Also he has this attitude that I only like The Velvet Underground because it's "Cool" to like. I actually got into the Velvet Underground through a Nirvana cover of Here She Comes Now when I was like in 10th grade. I thought the song was awesome, so I checked out the band, and they blew my freaking mind. I had no idea they were important, I just thought they were great.

Well many great philosophers have pondered this mystery. Take a course in aesthetics next semester. See what you think. Do you also think there's no such thing as "good" art, film, or literature? Because if you believe that then I can accept your statement that there's no such thing as "good" music.

I'd actually rather watch Spider-Man; and I'll be the first one to admit my cinematic priorities are screwed up. Maybe I am a snob, or a douchebag. But I wouldn't have it any other way. By being a snob, I never find myself in a position where I have to listen to something I don't like, or jamming with people who I don't share music interests with.

Don't get me wrong, I love Van Halen. But to me like Velvet Underground & Nico= The Godfather Van Halen's debut= Spider-Man 2

Soo there's a way that I can ignore all of your posts? Because I can't read stuff like this anymore.

Exactly. So many people have VU influence i them. For bobbob to say their influence is superficial is ridiculous.

I just can't take anyone seriously who thinks the only reason the Velvet Underground is important is because Rock critics say they are. You don't have to like them, but don't undermine a band's accomplishments.

They're important because so many great artists have followed in their foot steps. By the time VU was getting heavy musical press they'd already influenced a whole generation of Glam Rockers and NYC Punks. The journalists were late to the VU legend; they didn't create it, it was already there.

Don't worry, there will always be a copy of the 9th Greenday greatest hits compilation at your local Shell station.

Do your friends know about Wilco? I don't have many young friends...the ones who I have all know about Wilco, but being my friend it's hard not to know who they are.

I don't consider Wilco a secret. A band that sells a half a million copies of a record isn't a secret. There are bands that have sold a 3rd of what Wilco has that I don't consider "secret". And if Wilco is a secret, then the Velvet Underground is a secret. And are you going to argue The Velvet Underground isn't HIGHLY influential next? cause they are.

Why does it matter how old the average Wilco fan is? I don't believe that the 25-34 demographic is completely in the dark about Wilco, though I went to a liberal arts university, where EVERYONE knew who Wilco was. But let's say the average person under 25 doesn't know who Wilco is; how does this matter? is the 25-49 crowd not a viable crowd? And besides, the consumer doesn't completely determine relevance. To me the people who determine the relevance of a band are the hardcore music fans; the people who tape concerts, the people who write for zines, the people who form bands, the people wh
