Agreed. When I first read some of this and didn't look at the list, I was about to write how Once is not a music documentary, but considering Purple Rain is on I guess fiction has nothing to do with not making the list, so this is just another bogus list. Rattle and Hum put me to sleep. I found Hail Hail Rock and Roll just as boring. LouieB

Keep trying but Wilco is a big time rock group, so don't get your hopes too high. LouieB

I have never even read it...only looked at the pics... LouieB

Its a tough call..... If Being There was the album where Wilco came into its own, Summerteeth was certainly its greatest success up to that point and unique in so many ways (upbeat tunes to downbeat songs, vintage keyboards, crazy backup singing, etc. etc.) and YHF is clearly the defining album of Wilco's career (more backstory than could have been dreamed up by any PR person). But for sheer long term enjoyment, the music on it never disappoints, none of it. (and the parts that made me uncomfortable the first time hearing it contiue to do so even now.) LouieB

Uh oh another list... LouieB

Extra cool. LouieB

That is pretty good considering Young Folks is pretty catchy. I just wish that at even a station like XRT they wouldn't play some of this into the ground. I could understand this if it were 30 or 40 years ago when everything was a single, but occasionally it would be nice for the FM stations to mix it up a bit. XRT with it's supposed huge record library has managed to reduce its playlist to a fairly small number. Aside from hearing REM every time I turn on the station, they are now playing Walken into the ground and they act like Perfect Crime II is the only play worthy song off of The Dec

PBJ (Peanut Butter and Jelly???) are certainly the Gnarls Barkley of the summer of 2007. Their single was all over the place. Have they done anything else of note?? LouieB

Happy Birthday!!!...old man... LouieB

What is the symbolism of spoons and throwing them? LouieB

Really... LouieB

and Dr. Dog was dog tired.... LouieB

Its hard to pick a favorite, but I went with Summerteeth..... LouieB

Yea, the article did the same to me, which is why I thought I would share. Well neither Ken Burns nor Wynton and ruin the Louis Armstrong story. Not only is Armstrong one of the great musicans of the 20th century, his story is both dramatic and inplausible. LouieB

Yea..cut loose with the story. I am guessing Bruce doesn't get out much. Happy Birthday to the Boss. (He has 6 months on me....) LouieB

The Beatles are the greatest rock group there ever was or ever will be. They hit at just the right time with the right combination of talents and attitude. LouieB

They are only good in mono...otherwise they suck... LouieB

Much was made of Jeff talking about the war a couple years back here. There are times when musicians need to speak out. Here is an interesting article which I knew something about, but not in this kind of detail. It also goes so show how much things have changed even in our lifetimes (well I was 7 at this point...) Many people called Armstrong an Uncle Tom, but when it mattered most he stepped up. LouieB The Day Louis Armstrong Made Noise By DAVID MARGOLICK Published: September 23, 2007 FIFTY years ago this week, all eyes were on Little Rock, Ark., where nine black students were tryi

Yea, so did I. In Missoula Montana of all places too. Tormenting mimes was already in vogue in the 70s but this guy was the best.... Not as old as me, but old enough I guess. LouieB

I saw him last night. He was on fire, playing at 90 miles an hour to fit in the slot. While it was somewhat short (about 80-90) minutes) it was very fun. I had one ticket and Rosie (TG) was in town so I gave it to her, but got another from someone down the line who had an extra. I can tell you from past experience that although this show was sold out, they are NOT packing Schubas the way they did in the old days. It was not nearly as suffocating as I have experienced there. I think the fire marshall lowered the number for the hall. He wasn't going to play California Stars last night, bu

I spoke to some folks at the Rhett Miller show last night who went to see this in Highland Park. They said it was excellent; the audience was predominantly older folks. I guess whomever booked this thing in Chicago figures young people are not aware or interested in Pete. There may be something to this, the people I spoke to knew very little about Seeger and told me they had no idea where the song on "Weeds" called "Little Boxes" came from. Although it was written by Malvina Reynolds, it was really Pete who gave it life. (I have never seen Weeds so I had no idea it was the theme song.) Lo

Court and Spark is an excellent post folk album (jazz influenced) from her and worth a listen. Miles of Aisles, done immediately after has some of the same material done live and done very well. LouieB

I threw it on the old player immediately. EVen with the piles of LPs and CDs I have bought and not listened to, this went to the head of the list. I am sure it will get additional plays. The production of the songs is excellent. If you purchase any of the Numero Group, they will sound amaturish by comparision, because those labels were much less slick. Curtis and company knew what they were doing. Me too. I use it way too much. I have found Caiman to be particularly good and cheap. In fact when I thought I had lost a disk in the mail from them, they sent a second at no charge. Two

Yea, no shit....he gets blamed for everything anyway... LouieB

That was half a rhetorical question, hoping to keep a bit of action here on VC during the weekend.... LouieB
