Is it that easy for people nowadays to dismiss top notch craftsmanship bottled in 13 songs? Yep.

The empty seat thing is weird. Happened in Detroit last year a bit. Very strange on a Stanley Cup run. Maybe everyone was in the can. For the life of me I still can't figure out why Detroit is in the Western conference!

That's insanely good. I demand an album!

Nah, it shouldn't be left at that. I'm sure there's some idiot out there that would call Richard Marx art (or entertainment, for that matter). And instead of slapping them, they should be told..." it ain't art, but here's an alternative. Take a listen to this. I don't know that this is art either, but its gonna blow your socks off." And then give them a Wire record.

I had a roommate that walked off with every Bob Dylan album I owned on vinyl. Listen to bell Walsh, it tolls for thee.

Well, being dumb isn't necessarily a disqualifier for being President. Check the White House out now.

Yep, yer right. Umm, amazing songwriter..oops. Sorry.

Its that voice. One of the all-time great voices. Amazing.

Well, I'd say the Beatles led a social movement, Bob Dylan did (even while denying it), Elvis Presely did. And I wouldn't call their subject matter art. Doggerel maybe.

I'd have to go with Band of Horses, but that's only because its today.

Martin D-16GT No Name two string banjo MacBook

"Modern Guilt" Beck. The whole album really, but this song specifically.

"Glad Its Over"

"The secular world is rooted in truth and the wholesale rejection of myth and superstition." I don't buy that for a minute. If that were the case, we would have to dismiss some damn good writers, artists, and songwriters.

Second that!

Well, "Fear of a Black Planet" is something else. Just ask the Library of Congress. I don't think Wilco has had this honor...yet. http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0504/piano.html

Now we're talking about specific areas. But I would agree that there are rap/hip hop albums out that are better than anything Wilco has put out.

Nickleback is clearly worse than any gangsta rap. Lyrically, musically, production are all better in the hip/hop, rap world. If you can over look the sometimes offensive words, focus on the rest of the lyrics and the production.

With Glen Matlock! This will be great. Anyone got a place in Scotland I can crash at?!

The Replacements The Faces The Jackson 5

Jesus, just name the horse already! Days in the desert and he can't name it anything?! Tim, Whitey, Rufus, Sarah, Pickles, Bitey, fucking something?!

That's a riot! All those old reviews and articles about ST. I hope Google does this for a while so I can read 'em all.

Here's a kind word about Hotel Arizona; I've always thought it was one of the best songs on Being There. I would never skip it. In fact when its over, I often play that track again. Having said that, I don't care for On and On and On. I don't know if its trite (I got smacked around pretty good for calling a lot of the songs on SBS trite), but I know its not amazing. Oh and I think Shake It Off is pretty damned good too.

I remember Ray Davies saying something to the effect of, "If Page played that solo then I produced all of Led Zeppelin's albums".

I love the first part of Spiders.
