solace Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 that song is awful, and way post '92 but come the fuck on: Crumblin' DownThe Authority SongPink HousesSmall TownJackie BrownCheck It OutPop SingerCherry BombPaper In FireHurts So GoodJack & DianeI Need a LoverNo More Than Ever dude made for one helluva greatest hits imo. American Fool & Scarecrow were both pretty great records too. sure it's cheesy, but it's pretty damn heartfelt midwest americana from the 80's for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah, good stuff there. This new shit is inexcusable, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calexico Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Lonesome Jubilee is a great album but Brian Henneman had it right though: Sitting in this bar is getting more than I can standIf I could catch a ride I really think I'd ditch this vanWho knows what this repair will cost, scared to spend a dimeI'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I enjoyed Whenver We Wanted and Human Wheels was a fantastic record cover to cover. His output since then has become a little 'meh' w/ the occasional single that isn't bad. His over all body of work is enough to earn my respect though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 the one and only time i ever saw him was in '97 or '98, after he had his heart surgery. dude put everything he had into it. Son Volt opened as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I've always looked at Mellencamp in the same way I look at Tom Petty - they each have a lot of really good songs that I can go years without hearing. But when I do hear them, they sound good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 And Tom Petty made the best video ever ("You Got Lucky"...w/ the Mad Max Heartbreakers). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 And Tom Petty made the best video ever ("You Got Lucky"...w/ the Mad Max Heartbreakers). I used to come home from school and wait for that on mtv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I read that press release before. A pile of shit by any other name... Although the rest of the lyrics of the song (that no one will ever here) aren't quite as bad. There's room enough hereFor science to liveAnd there's room enough hereFor religion to forgiveAnd try to understandThe other people of this worldThis is our country... That poverty could beJust another ugly thingAnd bigotry could beSeen only as obsceneAnd the ones that run this landWill help the poor and common manThis is our country...

mountain bed Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 And Tom Petty made the best video ever ("You Got Lucky"...w/ the Mad Max Heartbreakers).That's a good 'un,but I was always partial to "Don't Come Around Here No More". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Petty made okay videos, but Mellencamp made one of the all-time greats, "Again Tonight." Which, incredibly, is not available on YouTube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
