influence does not equal importance

it is, but I see a lot of people posting the names of bands that are important to them in this thread, and that's not what's in question. you need to take into account how important a band is to the general public/majority Americans, not to a handful of folks who read the internet all day looking for new music. Most people will find one of those American Idol winners more important than the Hold Steady, simply because they know american idol or the hits they hear on the radio.

influence on a handful (or possibly tons) of bands, has nothing to do with a band's importance to the general public.

my wife had to skip a night, so I sold her ticket for face value to some guy on the street. you should've found me.

you are not alone

it looks very cool, but it's a pain in the ass to get the cd case out of the slipcover.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World can't come out soon enough.

probably because it's not really new.

A. Rod will beat your ass

the live show was just pure rock

maybe he was taking shit about how bad Greg was in the ring.

they were only selling it at their shows.

he's talking about the guy backstage at Tweedy's solo show, not the Grant Park interview.

maybe, but if that were the case like you said above, people would've probably posted about it.

how could they possibly be, "the most important rock band in America", when millions upon millions of Americans have no clue who they are?

the majority of people at Wilco shows don't even know what VC is.

I love Wilco, but come on, that's just silly.

I'd love it if PBS would put both full sets out on DVD. I got to see one of the Wilco/Sonic Youth shows, and as my luck would have it, Jim didn't come out and play with Wilco.

I agree with this

up yours, yuppie!

not it isn't.

nice!

are they selling bottles of Jesus Juice?
