I guess everybody that doesn't suck was busy?

I think a perfect album has to be great as a whole piece and if you just want to just listen to individual tracks. It can't have a note of music that rubs just a little funny or song out of place in the tracklisting. Hell, there are albums that are made greater by their imperfections and there are definitely albums I like more than some, what I deem, perfect albums. I'd have tons of albums in the almost perfect category. Alice In Chains-Unplugged The Band-S/T Beatles-Revolver, Abbey Rd Hendrix-Elecitric Ladyland, Woodstock Led Zeppelin-IV MMJ-Z Pearl Jam-Vs Pink Floyd-DSOTM, Wish You Were

Metallica Primus Police Tool Dream Theater Smashing Pumpkins Pink Floyd has some prog elements, but I put them closer to Zeppelin or The Who than bands like Yes or King Crimson. I think Yes and King Crimson both belong in there, but I'd disagree with anybody saying they are more influential than Rush and I haven't checked sales or attendance numbers but they don't seem as successful.

Rush unquestionably deserve it. Easily the most influential and successful prog rock band ever. Not a whole lot of prog bands are essential, since it's such a niche genre, but they were a major influence on the most recognizable more modern prog bands. I think they're only behind Elvis for consecutive gold albums, and I bet they'd pass him if you didn't count repackaged material.

The Secret To A Happy Ending- Not a huge fan of DBT, but this ones pretty badass. Rising Low-alot of cool stuff here, worth it for Vic Wooten's rendition of Amazing Grace alone Meeting People is Easy The few from the Classic Albums series that I thought were worth a damn and I've seen a good portion of them>>Dark Side of the Moon, Night At the Opera, Band S/T Beatles Anthology-mother of all music documentaries imo. Wish every band I dug had something like this. Which One's Pink Cabin Fever-I'm a sucker for anything that shows much in the way of the recordings of albums. I thought bot

There's a couple of those that are really fantastic, DSOTM included, but alot of them don't really offer any in depth info on the making of the albums. It's cool to hear isolated tracks and all that, but they're just short on actual info. Watch the recently release WIsh You Were Here doc and those just don't compare at at all.

That's a pretty sweet channel deal. They had the big show in Central Park a few weeks ago with Band of Horses, Black Keys and NY+Crazy Horse. The MMJ show was pretty epic, unfortunately my dvr didn't get the whole performance. Didn't realize it was actually live. They show some other pretty sweet concerts on there as well, stuff from dvd releases.

Sold it to him for a fair price in the day. By today's standard I'm sure it's probably the best deal anybody has ever gotten on anything, ever. It would be cool to see Pete sling around a Les Paul now and then, but they're not very friendly to the old fellas. I think he sounds really good on the stuff I've heard in the last 10-15 years.

That's just crazy talk Pearl Jam-Binaural Pink Floyd-Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH Led Zep- I, III, Phys Graffiti Hendrix- Electric Ladyland and Axis Beatles-Revolver, Sgt Pepper's, Abbey Rd Tool-Aenima, Lateralus Flaming Lips-Soft Bulletin Radiohead- The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows

I agree, especially since the op put the Stones in there. Gossard carries most of the first few albums. Maybe not traditional lead in that he plays tons of solos, but he's doing the heavy lifting through the guts of the songs. Listen to what he's doing being the solo on Porch and tell me it's not dual lead. Black Crowes are another band in a similar vein. Rich carries the tunes and they've almost always have the classic lead player that would follow him, but he's always stepped up for the occasional spotlight moments. Skynyrd was able to weave 3 guitars better than just about any band I ca

I don't think that's the case. He had a few members of his family on the road with him. One last tour for the shear joy of it.

True he wrote most of the album, but I think there's plenty of the PJ sound to make this more than a CC solo album. I feel like Alain Johannes did the same for Euphoria Morning, as it sure doesn't sound like much else that Cornell has done.

No you don't. You can buy all three of their recent reissues in standalone 180g vinyl. And I'm not into the schwag, but the prices on the Super Deluxe boxes are fairly reasonable. I point to their ticket prices as exhibit A of their "green disease". Exhibit B might be the increasing price and the decreasing quality of the 10c analog package. Charging $40 for some ugly stickers, a fucking patch, and a really generic letter from Jeff Ament is pretty fucking brash.

Really? I hear some similarities here and there and a few songs that sound like they could be Beatles' tunes but I've never thought that Wilco was ever close enough to the Beatles to be the American Beatles, Dale Murphy articles aside. I'd say Wilco are right on the fringe of being a jam band, but they're 98% not. Them actually being considered a jam band would stem more from the non music side of things and what appears on their albums and how they play their tunes live takes precedent over that.

It's a decent album, with some good singles like all of their albums. And I take the awards for what they're worth, but it most certainly wasn't the best rock album I heard last year. "not a bad album" doesn't really sound like an album deserving of awards or as much praise as some people seem to be giving it. That NY Times article has one of the best descriptions of the Foo Fighters I've ever heard.

I really like Is This It and These Days really does have some similarities to This Modern Age, but it's far from a ripoff. There were even a few other songs on the album that rareair could've been talking about. I think Dr. Dog did it better than any of the Strokes examples.

But...but.....they recorded it to 2" tape in Grohl's garage and he's such a cool funny guy. B/c they made a rock album. I'd be more inclined to wonder what make The Whole Love not a rock album.

I disagree. You can't really compare a band in it's prime to what they became 15 to 20 years later. To me that's like saying, you can listen to The Firm and tell who the creative force in Zeppelin was. Pink Floyd, as with most great bands is the sum of it's parts, but if I was gonna give and MVP to the Meddle-The Wall Pink Floyd without a thought it would be David Gilmour. Waters was always great for alot of the lyrical content, but I'd probably put him behind even Rick Wright as a musical force in Pink Floyd until The Wall came around. Even then, without Gilmour's contributions The Wall would

Amazing album....The 2 that followed are pretty cool too. Haven't liked a thing about anything they've released since.

Considering I just bought a signed vinyl copy for less, yes. I would think he's rolling in the dough with all the touring the Crowes did during the reformation. He has sold some gear here and there, but it seemed more like stuff he genuinely didn't want around anymore as opposed to wanting to keep it but needing the money.
