hardwood floor

one of the few late-period tracks i really dig is You Might Recall great song

i used to hear that from a lot of people ... "Peter Gabriel was in Genesis?" i remember expecting the worst when i rode my bike to the neighborhood record store to pick up Trick of the Tail and being just blown away. that's when it him me that tony banks was every bit as important to the early band as peter. i still think Trick / Wind & Wuthering / And Then there were three / are a hell of a three-record run and although things started to get uneven after that, duke & abacab have some great stuff also. they did lose me after that though ... amazing band in both incarnations

underrated band pretty damn good i dig 'em

i always thought this was one Peter-Era genesis track that phil handled extremely well ... although i never got why post-peter they eliminated the first verse and started out with "the crawlers cover the floor" and skip the entire "there is lambswool under my naked feet" up through "there's no hiding in my memory, there's no room to avoid" bit, which is brilliant amazing song

incredibly overrated band have they written a good song?

why doesn't it surprise me that a guy from a band with a name like "Buckcherry" would want to hacky sack i know you can't judge a book by its cover, but there's no way "Buckcherry" doesn't blow if you can't think of a band name better than "Buckcherry" you have no choice ... you will suck next thread --- great bands with terrible names? terrible bands with great names? are there any?

yeah, spence is a tough one i want to like him, but ... it's tough ... masterson is awesome though and henneman is a god to me

yeah, i've tried all those nothin' i'm screwed guess i'll just ... throw the fucker out the damn window

the farrar board isn't that bad. not as active as this one obviously, but some pretty damn smart people on there. and we get brian henneman of bottle rockets & former uncle tupelo sideman, plus current son volt guitar gods mark spencer and chris masterson checking in a lot, so that's cool but it does appear to be down again

i can't imagine i'll ever see a better live band what was your favorite lineup? for me, you couldn't top the pollard/gillard/farley/tobias/macpherson powerhouse did you make the farewell show in chicago? what a night that was the last pollard solo show was actually really good, with slushy, tommy keene, narduccy and john moen

i haven't been able to start firefox in four or five days ... apparently some file got corrupted ... keep getting the same error message, which is "Firefox is running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." needless to say, i've rebooted, i've gone to task manager, but there is no firefox process. i've even uninstalled and reinstalled the thing, but the same message comes up i found a mozilla support site that addresses this particular error message and directs you to delete a particular file called "parent.l

i have no clue who YMSB is

man, you guys rock some awesome stuff here the first two are exact, the rest are guesses Guided By Voices 21 [plus pollard solo 5 times] Yes 17 Genesis 15 Son Volt 10 Rundgren/Utopia 10 REM 7 or 8 Wilco 5 or 6 ELP 5 or 6

sounds like another thread idea ... concert insanity ... i remember as a kid going to see yes at roosevelt stadium in jersey city, climbing through the window of a bus with my friends (nj transit sent four buses for 40,000 people) to get back to journal square, finally getting home at like 2 a.m., getting up at 6 a.m., going to school, then heading out to central park as soon as school let out for a 6 p.m. gentle giant / starcastle show at wollman skating rink. that was a hell of a couple days. but, yeah, you can't skip a wilco residency show because you're tired! come on!

i've heard a lot of people rave about their shows i saw them once and they couldn't have been more excrutiatingly dull sounded like 10th-rate watered-down rush without the songs i totally don't get sloan

Baby Blue by Badfinger is just about a perfect damn song

man these all killed me lindsey buckingham a few months ago but had an unavoidable work conflict tobin sprout years ago -- and he NEVER tours - and couldn't get out of something long scheduled smithereens ... dropped my daughter off at her grandmother's, she wasn't feeling well. she told me, "I want to go home, daddy, but I know how much you want to see that concert, so I'll be fine." come on ... how could I leave her there!

yeah, it was mid-90s ... arena show ... after that, i vowed to never see another arena show and to never see REM again, and i haven't done either the sound was awful, that was part of it. the band was incredibly remote and disinterested. i had seen REM tour during the early years with the dBs opening and with the feelies opening in small theaters and they were just breathtaking shows ... this was a lumbering, distorted, bloated, boring night ... just excrutiating and yeah, the set list was a disgrace -- this was circa i think new adventures and they didn't play a single song from before ou

literally? or figuratively? last time i saw REM it was one of the worst shows of my life (literally) first time i saw 'em was one of the best

a lot of people love bruford, but that lineup kicked ass with gabriel or phil? i saw both and they were vastly different but both mind-blowing. the first few phil-led tours were incredible, but nothing like the lamb tour and live musical box with peter singing saw 'em about 8 times and always dazzling. what emerson was able to do live was insane. lake an underrated singer too. and palmer was a powerhouse. was just listening to a live pirates from the works tour ... just phenomenal

oddly ... two of the best shows i've ever seen are jay farrar acoustic with mark spencer at maxwell's + chick corea with herbie hancock on two grand pianos at carnegie hall have never seen farrar in any incarnation - with uncle tupelo, son volt or solo - where he hasn't been amazing

My Morning Jacket ... i was shocked how boring they were. ya can't get by on energy alone Golden Smog ... got blown off the stage by marah and i think they were scared to play. really good records, but they sucked beyond belief. maybe the only show i've ever left early Richie Blackmore ... blown off the stage by opener Uriah Heep. rock!
