Jorma and Jack split.

Who the hell rated this 1 ?!?!

I love these guys, and never tire of them. Good thing, since Bill likes them too....

GREAT pennywhistle player (assuming it's not electronic)!

Emer was born and raised in County Mayo in the West of Ireland. She was the youngest of five children who all played music and was immersed in traditional music and song at an early age. She has won All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil and Slogadh titles on the tin whistle, flute and uilleann pipes.

Of the 2000 swiss francs I spent on comics last year more than half were on comics I found out about by downloading them illegally over the internet.

You know an artist has run out of ideas when a "song" is basically just a long laundry list of fuzzy ideas that don't rhyme or make a lick of sense. "Don't fear the nuclear power because they can't stop-a da time"? Wha?

shit... here we go again for 40 f'ing minutes! you wont play DSOTM on halloween, but we have to hear this every 2 weeks!!! BS I TELL YA!

Somehow this reminds me of Jefferson Airplane's 'Today'.

Sorry I call it Cheese eating surrender monkeys!!!

Like a bad Beach Boys nightmare flashback.

This sounds so old. . .

Whether a flute belongs in rock & roll (let alone heavy metal) is debatable. What I find bothersome is you can hear Jethro breathing while he's jamming on the flute. I guess I just don't get it.

Brilliant tune from an underrated R.E.M. album. Kate Pearson's vocals are just stellar here.

I think that to truly appreciate Nirvana (or any band most likely) one must have been there throughout... or at least one must understand the cultural signifigance of how the music advanced and spread and pushed the envelope. When a band can change the face of music forever... I believe that is what makes a great band. Nirvana did this and that cannot be disputed.

Maybe I'm too young to appreciate this, but I don't think that's why I don't like it. I just can't get into this. I definitely missed the Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia boat.

I've already rated this a 1, why is it still playing?

Love this song, love this band, one of their best. Favourite album is still HOTH though ...

I can understand why someone in the 60s (or even 70s) might think the Stones were good--there wasn't all that much else to compare them with. But it is now time to Let. It. Go. Next time you feel compelled to listen to a song by the Rolling Stones, listen to silence for the same length of time instead. At the end, notice how much happier you are with your new choice.

I know everyone will yell, but no female singer has moved me like Neko--not since Annie, Tina, Aretha...I put her up there with the likes of those women... Sarah, Ani, Alanis..blah. Neko just blows me away, she truly has an amazing instrument

Anybody remember Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins???

Not bad at all, but I'm really hearing Venus Hum here.

Looks as if Physicsgenius has stured the pudding! He's right, Billy Gorgan has very little talent but he has made the best of what he has.I don't care for him.He is a rip-off.That Mick Jagger sound is by design....

It’s all a breath of fresh air from the rubbish that is overplayed on so many radio stations around the world today.... although my girlfriend thinks i’m too old before my time! :)

the drum and bass make this song...

Now that's a bad transition.....Pink Floyd to this noise!

So this is Hot Tuna? They were always a favorite of my deadhead friends (which is why I never listened to them) Maybe I'm mellowing with age, but this is great stuff! I wonder if I would've thought so when I was still in a mohawk and leather?

I have not heard this particular rendition before. Anyone know where it is from?

Excellent soundtrack though. I can listen to that entire CD all the way through.

This is bad statistics and even worse policy.

Let's assume 9/10 of my comments are negative and that RP has 3,000 songs. I've commented on maybe 100 songs and have heard most of the 3,000. That means I don't like 90 but either do like or don't care about 2910. Sounds like a good percentage to me.

But let's say I really did hate 90% of RP's library. Why would you want to kick me out? Don't you want a diversity of opinion to form a truly eclectic music library? Or are you yet another person who claims they want to be "challenged" by music but really only want to hear the stuff they like?

you must be really old. The solo in the middle of the song is just plain awful.

Try finding THAT on a Clear Channel station.....

I hate his voice, but the lyrics are enthralling. I couldn't stop listening. It would make a superb poem all by itself.

I discovered Sandy Denny not to long ago then found out that she is singing harmony in this

Wow!

Who is gomez, and why do we have to be subjected to so many of his songs?

Hold on - because he doesn't like it, he doesn't get it?

That's not fair, man.

I understand Weezer (they used to be my favorite band, read lots o' biography, interviews, played their music, etc..) and I don't like them.

So why is it that if someone doesn't like music that you do, that it automatically means that they "don't get it"?

didn't peter write "no milk today" and "mrs. brown you have a lovely daughter"?

Actually, I've been thinking no '10's' anyway, but for different reasons then what you're thinking of, I'm sure.

My reasoning is this: a scale of 1-10 leaves no room for pure medocrity, of which I feel obliged to award quite often.

Think about it on a scale of 1-10, the bottom half is 1-5 and the top half is 6-10. 5 is worse than mediocre and 6 is better than mediocre.

What about the PURE mediocre?

Now I'm confused. Revolver was always the one Beatles album that I knew backwards and front, being raised on it, but I don't recall this song being on it.????

My opinion only, disputed by many, but this is the best 'solo Beatle' album that was ever released.

Great group, fantastic album, representative song (There are better on the album, e.g. Ballad Of You & Me Pooneil )

We're sharing the common disaster of listening to even more blech from the Cowboy Junkies.

<-(

Not enough from these girls.

These guys definately sound better in the studio than they do live. I saw them open for Yes last year, and being the first concert I've been to in a few years, I was getting a little worried that my eardrums just couldn't handle live music anymore. Then I realized that Porucpine Tree was just being loud and abrasive.

Fortunately Yes came out and turned the volume down a little for us old fogies with brittle eardrums!!!!

MUCH better than that other Sinead.

yay, my upload ;-)

How have I managed to remain ignorant of Patty Griffin for so long? Amazing vocals.

the true soul of Jefferson Airplane was embodied by Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Cassady and Marty Balin. Play some original Airplane -- "Comin' Back to Me" "Crown of Creation" "Volunteers" -- rather than wasting time on this!

Errr....ever heard of Yes' "Tales From Topographic Oceans"?

One of the very few Doors songs that really meets the test of time (in my opinion). But boy howdy does it ever.

They keep playing the same playlist despite the fact that it is crap. I don't think 1971 would help.. Perhaps at a time when I'm alseep! ;-(

In any case, they've added Soundtrack of Our Lives - Sister Surround
to the fiasco and to think I was thinking of donating..

I'm off to Arrow Rock! Classic Rock at its best!

Lyrics rock. Music sux. What's with the freakin' pan pipes, jeeesh!

I love Aimee today, but this track is awesome -- still brings out emotional shivers. I don't care what any of you ice princes and princesses say.

Some may think it blasphemous--but I'll take Otis Redding over the Black Crowes anyway on this one. The horns and reverb guitar make this piece for me. Gotta love Otis and the horns!

Come on, someone compare this to the Dead! :headshake:

If Paul Simon looked like Sting and vice-versa, Simon would outsell Sting ten to one. Video has no room for unattractive artists (for the most part).

My points are simply this:

1. Neil Young can't sing.
2. A singer who can't sing shouldn't be a legend.
3. This is easily the worst-sung song I've ever heard in my life.
4. Therefore this is a case where I'll go out on a limb and simply label the opinions of anyone who somehow thinks this is a fucking brilliant song as WRONG.

And I love how people use adjectives like "vulnerable" in place of "shitty" when it comes to Neil Young's utterly putrid voice. Wake up!

Free tip: If it doesn't have a melody, it's just aimless wailing.

Erm... hmm... nope. Her voice is way too treacly, curdles the milk. :puke:

This song would make a pretty dictionary definition for " Repetitious ".

I have always wondered why the Stones could not go back, sit down, listen to this song and say to themselves: "Ok, what we have been doing for most of the past 30 years is crap. We need to sound more like THIS."

Why not????

Wonderful song, but I must say that "Love You To" is George's best Indian-ish tunes. It rocks, while this one can kinda drag after a few minutes.

Untuned piano and nursery rhyme lyrics. Great mix. They must be mocking us, all the way to the bank.

The only bad thing I have to say about this is that RP timed it wrong...this should be the last song of my workday as I'm shutting down all the computers and getting ready to go home....

On the surface, loss of innocence which, if not handled carefully, can lead to tragedy...
The daughter thing...transmogrification...
I don't know, I got nothin'...

As much as I hated "What If God Was One of Us?", I really like this song. I've never heard it anywhere but RP.

I think I'd prefer this without the vocals. Fantastic musicianship!

"Kitsch" is such an useful word ...

This piece does have a great sound. Love the introduction of the violin/fiddle and pedal-steele. Too bad they don't go with this more. Anyone know more about their work?

I always liked it, but it's been SO overplayed everywhere. There are far better Al Stewart songs -- "Roads to Moscow" is absolutely the best; "The Dark and Rolling Sea/Modern Times" are two tracks that were masterfully blended together on the Modern Times LP.

It started out good and I popped over to my RP tab to give it a good rating when I noticed who the band was. So I gave it a minute and Grateful Dead didn't fail to disappoint. Muddy sound, inane lyrics, repetitive noodling "music"--all the hallmarks of classic Dead.

This is crap. If I want to listen to ABB, I can tune in any FM classic rock station.

I thought that eclectic meant ". . .acute, astute, careful, choicy, choosy, cultivated, discerning, distinctive, fastidious, finical, finicky, fussy, individualizing, judicious, keen, particular, persnickety, picky, prudent, refined, select, selective, sensitive, tasteful, wise. . ."

This song is none of the above.

And yet at the time of this posting the rating is 7.5! You might think there are alot of folks out there who rather like this song!?! Ahhhh, the wonders of democracy.

omigosh...meddle is the best pink floyd album ever!!!!!!!! my ex-boyfriend told me once that you can play that 30-minute track (the last one) to "2001: A Space Odyssey" and you get the same effect as playing Dark Side of the Moon to Wizard of Oz....i don't know...what do you folks think?

Sweet! A 3/3 song that just glides.

Nice, but so much like Gorecki's Third.

This board reminds me of the Freepers ( (click here) ) tallking about Hillary Clinton.

Is it me or is this distorted like an audiotape left out in the sun?

WOW!!! A song with no disses!!! I believe that's what the Allman Bros deserve. Talent, talent, talent, heart, heart, heart ... what more do we need?

Of all the wonderful Beatles songs, this is about the last one I would choose to play... Imagine you had to 'lose' one Beatles tune forever - wouldn't this one be at the top of your list or very near to it???

Supertramp could be the perfect standard bearer for the cultural wasteland that was the mid to late seventies. They were the Coldplay of their time.

PLEASE TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

It's kinda funky how it sounds like it switches over from a 4-track recording to a 16-track recording (or whatever) right at "sitting in an English Garden..." and remains that way for the rest of the song. Funky as hell, and I never really caught on to how drastic that switchover is until I listened on headphones. That said, if the tune weren't so cool I'd hate this song because the lyrics suck.

Nicely done.

Pardon my obliviousness, but have I heard in Al's voice in a band somewhere?

Social Distortion did a good cover, Wall of Voodoo did one that's... different.

Now I like Alan-is Mor-is-sette as much as the next guy,

Well.....how does "Formula" grab ya?

;)

This reminds me a little bit of Embryonic Journey. Anyone?

So very overrated. Get a decent amp, moron.

This song makes me want to beat a baby seal to death . . . .

Makes me want to KillBillery- 8O

Reminiscent of the Allman Brothers....but without Duane's incredible guitar playing

The original recording of this was bright and lively. The trudging, belabored drumming and production makes this rendition feel as though it were work to create it. I know I'm certainly having to work to listen to it. Sigh....... The feelin' is just gone...

Seconded. Spelling and grammar ARE important. It's not about needing to be relaxed or otherwise - it's about having pride in what you do (and awareness of what you do wrong)

Good on you Eco for raising this point - I, for one, support and uphold your perspective.

Fantastic! Jack is still God on Bass! Rock on Tuna!
If anybody knows these guys, shake their hand for me!

No need for the flame . . . the Stones were known for being the bad boys compared to the Beatles, and they marketed that appeal for all that it was worth. They were chauvinistic and callous. They also were/are somewhat merciless . . . at least Mick was/is. Heck, Brian Jones drowned, and they basically could have cared less. All that said, I've always liked much of their music, especially the early stuff. Appeal of the dark side, I guess. Or, more likely, the music trumps any character flaws.

Sounds like he's trying to emulate the great Jorma, don't it?

Oh!!! Lisa and Orbital!.........

J'aime ça! :whip:

Is she channelling Grace Slick?
