U2 - Magnificent (May 08, 2009 - 10:12) | Decent album, But does not come close to one like "The Joshua tree". Seems like most bands that get filthy rich and famous lose their creative and cutting edge. Poor/new/struggling artists somehow seem to put out the the best music during that time in their careers. Interesting.

The Decemberists - Prelude -> The Queen's Approach (Apr 22, 2009 - 09:19) | Bought this album in the last week. Best "listen through" album since "dark side of the moon". Love how riff elements progress through entire album. You will love it if you have the patience to quietly listen all the way through. Sadly, i feel most people are not capable of doing this.

I feel so pitty for all of you poor people that are brainwashed to think U2 songs are actually good to listen to. I won't hold you from it. I just thorroughly enjoy the new stuff I hear here, like "Butch Baldassari Trio" (Super stuff) and "Outback", both of which I never heard before.

The Vapors - Turning Japanese (Dec 16, 2006 - 11:22) | Most requested tune at XYC 89.3 Chapel Hill NC 1978 or around then.
Great memory considering my buzz back when(then).....
|
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Dec 16, 2006 - 10:16) | In my opinion SRV is technically the Yo-Yo Ma of blues electric guitar. I cannot imagine how great he would have been if he would have been allowed to live into a older mellow age, his soul would have probably blossomed.

You do it first, then someone else does it pretty. -Picasso Ibid!

Patty Griffin - Tony (Dec 15, 2006 - 16:30) | mikecrawler77 wrote: Just because YOU cry doesn't make it good music. It certainly isn't intrinsic to human nature to weap along with you. However, I'm pretty sure I'd cry too if I had to sit through a whole performance of this crap.
All of your song comments are negative. We need people that only see the dead trees in the forest.

Patty Griffin - Tony (Dec 15, 2006 - 16:25) | Patty,Patty,Patty! Best female artist in 27yrs with that country "twang" in her voice. She will take over rock soon- just wait.
|
Billy Idol - White Wedding (Dec 15, 2006 - 15:59) | Was a true rebel...would give the bird to anyone he wanted.
Mr Stevens on guitar was awesome.
|
Al Green - Love and Happiness (Dec 15, 2006 - 15:56) | He is the definition of cool. This was a major "tool" when I was in the dating market. He melts um...still does for my wife of 19yrs!
Al's da man.
|
Coldplay - White Shadows (Dec 14, 2006 - 17:47) | Great Song! These guys rule in "pop music" today.
Like a great Beaujolais. Hope they collaborate with a better producer/artist in the future. They could be great with the right grooming.
|
Nick Drake - Northern Sky (Dec 14, 2006 - 16:47) | It's sad that he is more popular today than when he was alive.
This is the measure for great artists.
|
Patti Smith - Because The Night (Dec 14, 2006 - 16:07) | The "mick jagger" of all female rockers.
Unless you have seen her live you have no clue as to the power she
welds.
|
R.E.M. - 7 Chinese Brothers (Dec 08, 2006 - 16:28) | PS. Michael/Peter you still owe Bill, Matt , The Stimulators, and me for 1/2 bag of weed.
|
Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy (Dec 08, 2006 - 16:18) | "Welcome to the Canteen" live version is so good it gives me bigger goosebumps than this "10".
|
The Who - My Generation (Dec 08, 2006 - 15:22) | The best live band ever w/moonie was alive...also the loudest.
Seminal.
|
Michael Franti and Spearhead - Light Up Ya Lighter (Dec 03, 2006 - 15:30) | I wonder why americans take so long to figure out they are being fed Gov propanda...Artists like this are suppressed by Clear Channel and others. Thanks for getting this out Bill!
|
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House (Dec 03, 2006 - 13:36) | When a song is this good it makes massive chemical changes in some peoples brains...the people who do not get the buzz hate it.
It must be a prick in their arse...it seems to bother them much.
To each is own... I know how they feel everytime I hear PresiDENCE
Bush.
|
U2 - Desire (Dec 03, 2006 - 13:20) | At this time in history U2 were the best live band around!
|
Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit (Dec 03, 2006 - 11:05) | "I don't know what the fuss is about. There are 7,000 girls." -Carla Bruni, on her "friendship" with Mick Jagger
|
The Who - I'm Free (Dec 02, 2006 - 18:29) | In 1969, they released the rock opera Tommy.
Eastcoast would have been 4yrs old...Mr Rodgers might have said somthing negative about The Who and he picked up on it.
But in support of Eastcoast his ratings prove he KNOWS classic rock.
|
Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Nov 30, 2006 - 16:37) | I remember when this tune came out...it was played by every radio station. AM-FM-Rock-Soul-Country. And every demographic...young old-black-white, all knew the words or at least the tune (including the non-english speaking parts of our planet) . What artist can replicate that today?
|
Patty Griffin - One Big Love (Nov 27, 2006 - 17:25) | One of the best tunes in yrs...This song will be covered in a few yrs and make some major artist $. Go Patty!
|
Bruce Springsteen - Trapped (Live) (Oct 29, 2006 - 11:57) | I get goosebumps thinking about seeing him in the 70''s...
Clarence and Bruce "knee sliding across the stage" with grins as big as full moons. Amazed.
|
Doves - Walk In Fire (Oct 21, 2006 - 16:55) | This is a great reincarnation/advancement of the classic 60's 70' jam/art rock formula. I bow. Dig-it uhhh. Dig-it.!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Blur - This Is A Low (Oct 12, 2006 - 17:51) | This tune trancended all demographics...When it came out if you were black,white, young or old your radiostation played this.
All dug it...What artist/tunes do that today?
|
Santana - Oye Como Va (Oct 11, 2006 - 16:00) | wonderful classic...this was one of the tunes that convinced radio PD's to play songs more than 2.5min. thank's carlos!
|
Freddy Jones Band - Take the Time (live) (Oct 07, 2006 - 15:56) | have seen these guys live a number of times...one of the best live bands you'll ever see. do a search for their song "in a daydream" - it's a killer.
|
The Cure - Pictures of You (Sep 30, 2006 - 16:32) | This is THE Cure for me. Wish Robert would'nt have sold it out to be commercial...Trivializes the song a bit for everyone. Hate when artists tag their art to to products just to make a friggin buck.
|
Frank Sinatra - That's Life (Aug 29, 2006 - 17:08) | when he was a kid he was the biggest f-ing bad ass, party loving, revolutiionary cool dude in the land...to bad rock&roll did not exist when the made his stand.
He would have been Jim Morrison's competition.
|
The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket (Aug 18, 2006 - 13:49) | Super band..spent a full week with the Clash in 81',
Very nice and were actually "proper english lads".
They bummed alot of fags from Keith Richards. What a week.
|

Coming to a venue near you soon! Check their website. Super song!
|
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts (Aug 14, 2006 - 09:22) | Best (usa) band of the 80's. Will never forget their show at Fridays in Greensboro NC 1981 (was awesome), they were traveling in a blue van. A buddy sold Michael some spleef.
|
The Doors - L.A. Woman (Aug 11, 2006 - 10:43) | To join my frat in the 70's (EX) you had to know every word of this song...the period when frats were not preppy. "which way the wind blow"
|
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (Aug 11, 2006 - 10:33) | No artist in the last 25yrs has created anything this powerful..spellbinding.
|
Miles Davis - Nature Boy (Jul 27, 2006 - 13:20) | One of the best songs ever...I don't understand people who (don't/can't) forgive. That is the sign of true goog. Peace
|
George Clinton - Atomic Dog (Jul 22, 2006 - 12:40) | What happened to all the bongs i had in the 70's?
Boogie, laugh, get the munchies...Whoa rush...
|
Peter Gabriel - Secret World (Jul 22, 2006 - 12:34) | Peter Gabriel the Bob Dylan of the UK...cannot believe madonna is more famous. Kinda like movies, trash sells.
|
1 Giant Leap - The Way You Dream (Jul 17, 2006 - 17:21) | Play the full version!!!!!!!!!!! Like an 8/course dinner without the first
3 courses. The intro before Michael appears is great!
|
Yes - And You And I (May 30, 2006 - 07:07) | 1974 driving down the road...craig cassette deck cranked, wonderful!
|
Crosby Stills & Nash - Long Time Gone (May 29, 2006 - 16:29) | One of the most poignant songs of all time considering the time of its release and what was happening in the social/political environment. A significant part of the grease that changed the USA forever. Would it be a hit today
probably not?
|
John Hiatt - Walk On (live) (May 20, 2006 - 09:40) | Wonderful and loved by most of us born in the 50's and 60's.
The youngster's didn't grow up with him, or have seen him live - can't blame them for their opinions.
|
Patti Smith - So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star (May 12, 2006 - 15:39) | If you don't like her I understand...I didn't until I saw her live.
She has her hand around your neck all night...just like Mick Jagger.
Best Rock Female that has ever lived. She takes no prisoners..I respect that!
|
R.E.M. - Driver 8 (Apr 28, 2006 - 15:51) | One of the best base tracks in the R.E.M. library...Fabulous!
|
Bruce Springsteen - Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) (Apr 28, 2006 - 14:50) | Super song! If you were in college in the 70's this was the "crank it up song". The most requested song late night night at WXYC UNC Chapel Hill in 1979. Crank it, stand up, and sing w/ Bruce as LOUD as you can...You'll get it.
