John Cale - Vintage Violence Hanson - Middle Of Nowhere Wilco - Being There The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain yeah, I know. But it's still pretty good. Even better than I remember, actually. I'm not proud.

Plush - Fed

Just got a copy of this from a friend and am giving it a first listen now. Gotta say that this sounds promising. Seems like a FrostingPhil kinda record. Any fans? Impressions?

I forgot about this one: Just a great record. It's overshadowed by Tantilla, but I think that Cakewalk is better. "Never" and "Ants" get me going every time. And "Rocking Chair" is just a perfect little song. RIP Bryan Harvey.

Yeah. I loved that album as a kid. I should pick it back up and give it another listen. Hey.. when your backing band is basically Booker T. & The MGs, it's hard to go wrong. Also, I can't understand why there's so much hatin' on this record: It's a lot better than Bossanova, and hell, just a great record.

I just thought that I'd share this here with y'all as long as I already compiled it. Feel free to post your own, if you feel so compelled. Or to comment on this here list: 1. Beach Boys

Congratulations! My only advice: Be on-time and listen to what the sound man says. Also, don't be afraid to tell him/her if you need something on-stage to make you hear yourself better. Now: go rock the hell out of that town!

Most people seem to either love it or hate it. I am in the "love it" camp -- one of the most-moving listening experiences ever. Not sure what the lyrics actually mean, but I can feel every damn bit of it. (and yeah, here comes the smartass comment about how his voice makes somebody feel pain or something...)

www.stumbleaudio.com Any of y'all ever check this out? Seems pretty cool, if I could ever get the music to stop buffering and actually PLAY! Just looking for opinions and such. (Y'all have any problems playing the tunes?)

Margo Guryan - compilation Radiohead - The Best Of... Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes Fugazi - Steady Diet Of Nothing

Yes.

Another one that can be argued. And, even though I've only heard this a few times, I think it has easily made my shortlist of greatest live albums: Rocks SO hard.

My turn to bitch and add my favorites:

8/13/08: Shrimp Boat - Something Grand (album 2) Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish The Knack - Get The Knack Mark Sultan - The Sultanic Verses

You're not a musician, are you? That aside: So, then... how would you measure greatness - objectively? I don't think that there is a way; no formula, no scientific scale. Objective is, methinks, the only way. And I do not think that you are going to get too many arguments of The Beatles being anything less than great. Shall we develop a formula together? The "Pop-Bear Musical Greatness Quotient"? Let's work this out... in another thread, maybe? Or let's do it via PM, and then we can present our findings in a grand gesture in the biggest megathread ever concocted! PS -- I'm loving this ar

Happy birthday Sue. And thanks for all the many wonderful years at Lounge Ax. Hope that you had a great one.

How about "some of the most-influential music of the 20th century"? You see, the fact that his playing was a major part of the music that had a major influence on just about all of the popular music that followed (yes, into this century as well) would be a pretty strong, objective argument... no?

The fact that his playing was integral... hell, essential to some of the greatest music ever made is, I think, a very strong argument, indeed. But I'm glad to see this thread -- Ringo -- getting some love.

Oh don't give me any shit about Ringo being a crap drummer. He was a fucking BEATLE!!!! And those songs would not have been the same without him. Case in point: "She Said, She Said" The stuttering drum part is just fucking perfect. And, if you want to get academic and overly geeky about it, it highlights the paranoia inherent in the song.

YES!!!
