Vacant Horizon

it seems like every 6 months some musician has passed away. this one really hits home. as a gen x-er we rebelled against most of the junk we grew up with and cut our teeth on classic rock. Floyd was one of those top 10 bands for me along with the usual, zep, beatles, etc. it never ceased to amaze us that the wall was less than 10 years old and radio had completly been taken over by dance/pop/shit!! over the years i really got to appreciate and love rick's minimalist keyboard work and his awesome voice. perfect for pink floyd. his verses on Time and his handful of solo tunes through out t

yep, sorry to vent. just went to two stores today that i hadn't frequented in a while and TRIED to buy and sell some pretty good stuff and was just totally blown off etc. one place makes it's money selling on ebay, so they don't give a shit. the other place is ultra hip in an ultra hip part of town which totally supports him. unfortunately, my favorite store, which is all used, recently moved far away in an attempt not to close. so i guess i'll just have to stick with him.

because mp3s are way overpriced and too low a bitrate, cds are way overpriced, artists get no money, and most of all, record store clerks/owners are complete and utter assholes!! do they deserve to go out of business? i wonder

it was utterly compelling and satisfying. better than dexter, weeds, and californication which i think are the best shows ever on tv. thoughts? maybe i am too happy about this given i hate tv.

hey, don't forget that teachers and schools are also in charge of ending racism, treating family issues, identifying and treating mental health issues, teaching in unteachable circumstances, feeding hungry kids, and being the gatekeepers for child abuse and neglect.

thanks for posting this!! i have never really been able to get into will, but seeing this really gets me fired up. his guitar playing is so similar to the way i play, and his singing is complete ly genuine.

hey, at least i ain't callin' names anyway, i've decided to drop The Band from my list too.

bring 'em on ...seriously though, just my opinion. once in while i just let loose and slam everything. right now i want to slam neil young if you can believe that

yes, not the 'craig' part... going to see patterson hood solo tomorrow at the decatur, ga book fest.

except for neil young and the band, pretty much everything raved about here is over-rated and complete crap. as far as criminally overlooked, anything by Thin Lizzy, except maybe the first album.

Brighter Than Creations Dark is the best album of '08. The more I listen, the more it seems like a classic to me. Who knew a 19 song album could be so cohesive. Spooner helps too. craig

neil has busted out 3 new songs this tour. link below. Singin' A Song See Change Worlds Collide http://thesongdog.rusties.net/sounds/

what book is that? the movie was really interesting.

i am too. the production is not the best, but at least its dry and not all crapped up like 90s or 80s style metal. i like it. guess it's what i am looking for at this point. all good critiques though.

Didn't see anything on this or the new album. the song is totally compelling and well-produced. tried several times to get into 'tallica in the past to no avail. actually checked out a bit of their last album and it's pretty interesting.

i know i am late to this thread, but what the hell. excellent topic. the most recent show i walked out of on purpose was Mark Kozelek. Started late, really late, and just dicked around on stage. i pretty much leave everything early these days. at least during the encore, unless it's like some cosmic show. which basically only happens once a year for me, if i am lucky. i guess it's because i am getting old. the last couple shows where time stopped was Black Mountain and Gillian Welch. was thinking about going to DBT with Hold Steady buy i know i would be miserable. maybe ben kweller

Other than T Gap, there isn't a whole lot more I know from Stills.... 4 + 20 and Blackbird I suppose are the next top songs for me after Gap. Shame about his voice although I would still chance seeing him just to here him play that song again. cool you got to see him in 95. i'm sure he sounded awesome. he can still play great guitar, but he just totally sings out of tune. i don't mind the raspy age in his voice, just sing in key! well, you gotta check out Stephen Stills, Stephen Stills II, Stills, Manassas, and Stills Alone. all have some great songs on them along with some really

very sad and tragic. crazy news. the article reported that DMB played the night he died. i am amazed bands can do this. i wouldn't be able to move after someone that close to me died.

what's up partner! i a pretty big csny fan. ever since i heard them in high school, i keep going back to them. got the box set back in 91 when it came out and damn if Thoroughfare Gap isn't just a gem. Probably one of my favor Stills songs and one of my favorite songs of all time. It's one of those songs I never tire of. CSN have several songs like that for me. The reason i think it isn't as popular is because most folks don't know about it. It's on the album of the same title which is totally horrendous! Over the past year i have been trying to collect some of Stephen's best solo st

i pretty much saw every midwest and south east phish show in the 90s. it was an ironic time, because i was lamenting having not seen the dead at their prime, but was right there for phish in their prime. i mean, every show was amazing back then. setlists were sick and that was just the way it was. the energy was actually overwhelming at times. it was really interesting watching the scene grow from a few of us doing hacky sack in front of the venue to the huge deadesqe parking lot scene. it's so weird to see all this 'remembering' in this thread. doesn't seem that long ago that phish sho

Mule Variations Small Change Blood Money i am amazed at all the love for Real Gone. I like about 1/2 of it. It is a damn difficult listen. Harsh and nightmarish. Hearing those tunes live in 06 was fun, but I am partial to the piano ballad stuff...Picture In A Frame, Georgia Lee, etc.

what a bunch of crap!
