  1. Wow, really? 1, 2, and 4 I'd never skip. Radio Cure What Light I'm seriously having trouble finding more I'd intentionally skip. I probably wouldn't play all of SBS, but its growing on me.
  2. That's great. The Book(s) of Rock Lists has a great one as well. We were trying to find more.
  3. A friend and I were discussing this, I thought I'd throw it out there for people to discuss: 5 Rock and Roll Myths 1. The Monkees were not a real band 2. Oasis sound like the Beatles 3. The Clash were punk rock and the Sex pistols were not 4. Nirvana were "anti-rock stars" 5. Lennon was avant-garde and McCartney was a square Enjoy these and add some if you like.
  4. Tough one but: Theologians ITTBYH Hotel Arizona Poor Places Late Greats and the last 45 seconds of Walken
  5. Agreed. Its not just a concert, its a Happening. I've seen them 9 times and each time had been different and wonderful. I'd drop everything if they came within 200 miles of my town and go. Incredible.
  6. Its a weirdly written article, isn't it? With all those headlines? I suffered through it only to realize I still don't like him, don't believe a word he says, and really don't care what he's doing. And he looks like a fat Brett Michaels in that ridiculous picture.
  7. Silly as it sounded when it first popped in my head, I think that "Box Full of Letters" may be a not-so-straight forward love letter type lesson. Displaced anger or disappointment are the basis of many great works of writing.
  8. The good old Book of Rock lists has it like this: 1. The Beautiful Ones--Prince 2. Beck's Bolero--Jeff Beck Group 3. Civil War--Guns and Roses 4. The End--The Doors 5. Fire--Arthur Brown 6. Gimme Danger--Iggy 7. Helter Skelter-The Beatles (John) 8. Hey Jude--Wilson Pickett 9. I Feel Good--James Brown 10. Jump-Van Halen 11. Let it Loose--The Rolling Stones 12. Mildred Pierce--Sonic Youth 13. Scentless Apprentice--Nirvana 14. The Strain--Bonzo Do Doo Dah Band 15. Twist and Shout--The Beatles (Paul) 16. Why--Lonnie Mack 17. Won't Get Fooled Again--The Who Don't know if I agree with all of it
  9. Alright, to make up for my Radiohead bashing I give you this: "The magnitude of Radiohead derives from its rarified cultural position: Its is the only hugely popular arena-rock act that is taken seriously by virtually everyone (Ahem). As such, the band is the de facto idea leader for pop music in general, and every decision it makes is perceived as significant. Everyone expected the old model for album sales to eventually collapse or evolve, but that was mostly theoretical until Radiohead released "In Rainbows" with no specific price tag. Thom Yourke lives at the vortex of this machine
  10. Oh, enough of this crap already, Radiohead is not the best band in the world.
  11. Conor Oberst and the Lipstick Valley Hams!
  12. I always get excited when I hear any news of a new album. Although I fear being as disappointed as I was with SBS. This time I will seek out tracks beforehand to avoid blowing 20 bucks on album that, frankly, sucks.
  13. Well, if that's the case the list is tainted and someone should loan the boy some albums.
  14. Leaving off Summerteeth is a mistake and leaving out the Bottle Rockets altogether is just retarded.
  15. Sorry, haven't been here in a while. I'm sure my opinion was/is influenced by Tweedy saying that it was a record for his wife. Where I find that sincere and as good a reason as any to write songs, its the sort of thing I don't want to know about. Pandering was meant to address that aspect. Paul McCartney was often pandering and trite and he's Paul McCartney. And I'm less concerned about what he feels and experienced than I am about what I feel and experience by putting those headphones on or seeing the show. And I'm not married to his wife. I have tremendous respect for the band and the
  16. After a year, I'm still disappointed. So much so that when they came to town, I skipped the show. By far the worst record lyrically. Pandering, almost trite love songs at points. I don't listen to it anymore.
  17. You can always borrow mine. Just return it!
  18. I question the veracity of everything Bennett says at this point.

    SNL!

    It seems what would make Charlestonians happy is if they skipped you guys altogether. Y'all seem to have enough fun moaning about a postponed show. A cancelled one should send you over the moon.
  20. I certainly don't see them as huge poster-boy stars. The Replacements played SNL a couple of times and they were never huge. Wilco's had one gold record. I've had fun turning people on to Wilco this year, for this record.
  21. I didn't see this posted: And so it ends: After five nights, and about 13 hours of music, Wilco's residency in Chicago came to a close Wednesday night. It did so with a wallop of feedback rather than a celebratory rock 'n' roll bang. Guitar notes howled like freezing winds off Lake Michigan, and violin strings were teased and left to sway like a creaky door in a blizzard. "There's so much less to this than you think," were the last pre-encore lyrics sung by singer Jeff Tweedy, a humble, almost guilt-ridden bow out of five ambitious nights of music. At 30 or so songs per night, it was one o
