i really should have Yes in my top-5 i'll remove dire straits saw yes 17 times -- at their worst, they were great ... at their best, just mindblowing

you're on your way to concert greatness if you're only 21 portland, maine, is one of my favorite places in the world

holy shit nelson solo? i saw be bop deluxe circa life in the air age and they were phenomenal ... probably top-10 live band for me nelson played some of the most beautiful guitar solos i've ever heard ... incredible technique but had such a rare gift for melody as well and a hell of a song writer god bless be bop deluxe

1) Guided by Voices 2) Uncle Tupelo 3) The Kinks 4) Dire Straits 5) REM (circa reckoning)

i don't have any 1981 shows i love i'll check that one out thx

cool story ... yeah, paul chastain does a great job on vocals on the velvet crush version teenage symphonies ... what a freaking great record that is

what a great song velvet crush does an admirable cover of it on Teenage Symphonies to God

only zeppelin song i can listen to anymore

Orleans was a pretty underrated band back in the day my obsession with kate bush not withstanding, i don't like many female vocalists but this record is really great

I am a Scientist

absolutely in my all-time top 20 highway star i think is one of the greatest hard rock songs ever written ... maybe the best absolute powerhouse

right now, it's Huffman Prairie Flying Field GBV

i was going to post something on them tonight glad someone else did they're a great band

Schmilsson is fantastic i remember Richard Perry, who produced most of Nilsson's stuff, saying Schmilsson was the best record he ever did and Son of was the worst Jump into the Fire is probably my favorite Nilsson song. Coconut ... the only top-10 hit ever with one chord? (C7) harry put out a lot of uneven stuff, but he was a brilliant, inventive, groundbreaking songwriter and performer, and Nilson Schmilsson was by far his best. great record

From a Compound Eye is a Robert Pollard solo record the first thing he put out after GBV broke up (other than i think the zoom ep) takeovers was pollard vox and songs with chris slusarenko playing all the instruments boston spaceships is pollard vox and songs with chris slusarenko on guitar and bass and john moen (decemberists) on drums, adding tommy keene (guitar) and jason narduccy (bass) in the touring lineup narduccy was also in the touring lineup on the FaCE tour (on guitar, not bass) and keene was also (on keys and guitar). slusarenko was in the last incarnation of GBV but not in t

FaCE is my favorite record of the decade threw it in on the way to work this morning & was reminded how insanely great it is

Tweedy performed Windfall once ... I have it somewhere. He did it incredibly sarcastically, but he did do it.

Magnet is by far the best American music magazine www.magnetmagazine.com i believe they have a wilco / fleet foxes download up right now

not surprising, considering the economy and advertising budgets but very sad

these in particular are simply among the best songs i've ever heard and i'd add Take it All and We're for the Dark to that list at their best, badfinger - and pete ham especially - was as good as any band ever, even the beatles, stones and kinks phenomenal

i never get tired of the bee gees the arrangements were just killer

yep & what a fantastic record it is i don't know where that "review" is from, but curious what ticket prices were not surprised the place was half empty. people are tired of overpaying for half-assed van morrison shows.

yeah PM me great song

anybody heard Nik's solo stuff? heard only good things about it but haven't checked it out
