^^ remphish: I own Mercury and Everclear by AMC. Both are quite good.

^^ Suki in the Graveyard?

Mose wrote my favorite track on my favorite live album -- "Young Man Blues" on Live at Leeds by The Who.

I love lists! In no particular order other than #1: 1. Car Seat Headrest -- Teens of Denial 2. Drive-By Truckers-- American band 3. Alejandro Escovedo -- Burn Something Beautiful 4. Wilco -- Schmilco 5. The Handsome Family -- Unseen 6. The Gotobeds -- Blood, Sugar, Secs Traffic 7. John Doe -- The Westerner 8. Bob Mould -- Patch the Sky 9. Parquet Courts -- Human Performance 10. The Waco Brothers -- Going Down in History All in all, 2016 was a great year in music. l

I got 4 in the 4th row of the balcony for Saturday night. The Chicago Theater is beautiful and the sound is great, but I'm not a fan of seeing shows there. Despite my age, I prefer to get to a venue early, stand and get as close as possible to the stage.

Jason Isbell (w/Robbie Fulks openng)

The first two that come to mind are R.E.M. in September, 1982 at Huff Gymnasium in Champaign, IL (five bucks to get in) and Wilco in Chicago on the Being There Tour.

I feel like I should be listening to LCD Soundsystem's "I'm Losing My Edge" while reading this thread. Great stuff.

^^ Brings new meaning to "Hell no, I ain't happy."

^^ Yep.. Completely agree.

^^^ To me, "Start Again" is the quintessential TFC song. And I will fight anyone who says it's not!!

^^ Wait. Any Son Volt list must include "Route." That's a rule.

Listened to the new one yesterday for the first time. Love it. Peter Buck's fingerprints all over it. For me, it's been a great fall for music. Excellent releases from many of my long-time favorites: Wilco, DBT, The Handsome Family and not this one from Alejandro.

Done. I'm a sucker for shameless self-promotion!
