HIJACK!!!! Are either of you musicians? Do you have a thought on the topic? (This is not just me looking to talk about me. I do want a discussion about the topic at-hand.) So... do ya? (And don't change that comment into a shift to talk about The Move or ELO!)

Go nuts.

Yeh, I know. And now...

We heard "Concrete Jungle" on the radio a couple of months ago, and my kids (8 and 6) were in the backseat... ROCKING!!! Singing along: "In the concrete jungle.... In the concrete jungle!!! "Dad, do you have this CD? You need to get it!" My kids rock. And to respond to this: If you have The Wilderness Years, no. If you don't HELL YES!!!

"I Will Always Love You" -- the (original) Dolly Parton version

"Oooh Baby Baby" by Smokey Robionson & The Miracles Motown in the 60's is good for about 90% of mine.

There are too many, but I will pick a few: "Without You" sung by Harry Nillsson "Isn't She Lovely?" by Stevie Wonder (yeah, I know it's about a baby, but it's still a love song) "My Girl" by The Temptations and, of course: "H-A-T-R-E-D" by Tonio K. which is a twisted kind of love song in it's own right.

Martin Newell - A Summer Tamarind Various Artists - A Matter Of Degrees (original motion picture soundtrack) My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything Blue Ruin - Flame Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love

Maybe some recording, but mostly paying bills.

Are they Nashville-based now or is it just Pisapia?

How about: Guster Or, if you have yet to hear Joe Pisapia (who is also a part-time member of Guster) you really need to get on the ball!

Illinois (yeah, I know): Wilco Naked Raygun M.O.T.O. Cheap Trick The Flavor Channel Shrimp Boat The Sea and Cake Uncle Tupelo Son Volt Andrew Bird Happy Ashtray Big Black Poster Children Chuck Berry And, of course I'll think of more soon...

There are no guilty pleasures. Only guilty people.

Ry Cooder - Into the Purple Valley (and assorted bonus tracks) Sloan - One Chord To Another New York Dolls - New York Dolls Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me Otis Redding - The Very Best Of...

I didn't know there was even a debate.

Someone at another board posted this as the "correct" chord (barred across the 3rd fret): To me, though it is too resonant to be any sort of a barre chord. Barre chords just don't ring out like that, 12-string or not.

Thanks, Lam. My band is, since August or so, just me and my guitar. And I do not do any touring, since I am a daddy and family guy. But, if I do get a gig sometime around here (where they actually let me suggest another band for the bill) I will let you know and try to get you on there. That would be fun.
