hardwood floor

Kate Bush Aimee Mann Annie Haslam can't stand the rest

yep, that's the guy ... member of every post-gbv pollard live lineup as well Keene Brothers record is brilliant ... $25 is ridiculous ... just go to the factory of raw essentials & buy directly from pollard: http://www.rockathonrecords.com/keene_brothers.html death of the party & beauty of the draft are as good as anything pollard as ever done keene's solo stuff is phenomenal, too

tommy is fucking great

yeah but the 30 songs version!!

one cut --> smothered in hugs but these are all flat-out brilliant: tractor rape chain echos myron gold star for robot boy hardcore ufo's i am a scientist gold heart mountaintop queen directory and maybe a tobin cut ... you're not an airplane or ester's day

Murmur, thanks for the correction! REM record i love it to death, but Bee Thousand is better maybe you should have listened to the second half!

Bee Thousand > Murmer

you clearly have no clue what you're talking about Styx ROOOOOOOOOOOOLS

Styx is better than Pearl Jam

yes! thank you just straight blasphemy like ... rick springfield has written more good songs than lou reed

ya know, oil can ... i feel exactly the same way i know i'm supposed to dig his stuff and i too have tried like hell, but it's just not happening for me (p.s. - i was at fenway for oil can's only win in 1987)

Wilco (The Album) is a 10th-rate watered-down Little River Brand ripoff

haha yeah, that's me -- Mr. Pitchfork himself i don't give a flying fuck what the "cool internet position" is or what that even means all i know is after listening to the new record twice through i concluded it's a steaming pile of shit hey maybe if you have such a thin skin, don't open up this thread seriously, who cares if somebody else out on some anonymous music forum hates what you dig? just laugh about it, dude

the philly show a couple months ago was pretty full, mid-size theater type venue walbourne is a beast. the current band is very very good my only complaint about son volt live shows is that the set list NEVER varies so if you saw him a few months ago, some might feel there's no compelling reason to see them the next time they swing around because you're going to get the exact same set i'll go see 'em anywhere anytime, but i can see where some people wouldn't because you're not going to get anything old (except windfall and tear-stained eye -- no uncle tupelo) and you're not going to ge

avett brothers is just about the biggest pile of shit i've ever heard

i think this belongs in the "everybody i know agrees that ...." thread! i love the coastline

My Morning Jacket tries so hard to be great that they have no clue how to be good. Drive By Truckers has never written a good song. Guided By Voices > Beatles. Really. Grant Hart wrote more good songs in Husker Du than Bob Mould. Hair Metal > Grunge. All Reggae is boring as shit. You can go into any bar in New Jersey on a Saturday night and hear some cover band guitar player who is 10 times better than Eric Clapton. World Music blows. and Coldplay is total shit

ya know, game theory (and the loud family) is up there for me too and i'll tell you what ... at least for me, their stuff has held up better over the years than REM and as well as the 'Mats unbelievably great band and donnette was the hottest rock babe in history

how dare you! on my thread!! bee thousand might be the best record ever made! truer words have never been spoken

REM edges out the 'Mats

has been down three or four days jay's promotional machine keeps a rollin'

i'll never check a set list before i see a band but i am all for getting out of a venue before 3 a.m. i don't miss the days of standing in some dinky smoky smelly club with a mixture of urine, vomit and spilled beer coating the floor watching 4 shitty opening bands play 40-minute sets just so i can finally see the band i came for but then again, i'm not 22 anymore i'm old as shit now, have kids, work starts early, etc. picture taking & videos ... i don't notice that. the one thing that bugs me the most is people who talk during a show, but that will never change. i don't underst

i was lucky enough to see genesis with bruford in 1976 either twice or three times. yeah, the guy is phenomenal. also saw him with king crimson once and with UK two or three times. and saw him in a club with pat moraz. never with yes though -- i think alan white was with them the first time i saw yes in february of 1972 at madison square garden and the first track i played on my first college radio show 1,000 years ago was Beelzebub, from Feels Good to Me! and by the way your user name is my favorite mermaid avenue song

yeah, it's amazing, ain't it? every single arena-level prog band fell into that trap - yes, elp, genesis, even gentle giant, renaissance, camel, the mighty starcastle ... i guess king crimson didn't i do like some of the poppy prog stuff, but love beach? we can't dance? giant for a day? really sad what some of these bands cranked out!

ahhh, ya know, banks always looked disinterested he could be playing the insane 9/8 solo in supper's ready and look bored out of his mind but yeah, banks has said in many interviews that he believed strongly in the pop direction genesis took. i think they saw how much success phil's solo stuff was having, and phil and tony both wanted to do poppier stuff, and it was just a natural way to go i remember a banks interview in which he said he thought the bridge in invisible touch was one of the best musical things he had ever done i mean, this is the guy that wrote firth of fifth and the c
