Sarah Palin reportedly made eight figures on her autobiography.  Your point would be?

Arguably the most overrated rock drummer ever.

What we DON'T need is your judgemental and snarky remarks.  We don't care if you like the Dead or not (I'm not a big fan), but we do take exception when you ask such pointed (and incorrect) questions.

NOT SURE I HAVE EVER HEARD SUCH A FUCK-MUSIC - EEEEVER!!!

NIGHTMARE!!!!

Get over it guys.  It's not like he's obnoxiously slagging on everything.  Let him have his catchphrase.  Seriously, why does it bother you so much?

First of all it's "its" not "it's".

Second, although based on your comment you don't appear to be the intellectually curious type : google "metaphor" —- you might learn something.

Third, you need to lay off the political comments boards, which go past any sort of reasoned debate and straight to namecalling.  On this particular board, Bullwinkle, that kind of shit is the ultimate irony, and is unfortunately all too representative of the way some Radiohead fans view things.

Not at all. It's small words and everything. And not a spanking, etiher. You misunderstand.

I think that the creative tension between artist and patron is worth thinking about. If you don't, that's cool. But this is something that commercial artists have to think about, and if they're not then they're not fully aware of their situation.

If this doesn't mean anything to you, then it's OK to move on, but you don't need to insult me, right?

sublime work of art.

pearls before swine sadly when the pink floyd fans entered the room.

. . . plays well in Montana - but we're just a bunch of latte-sippin' libruls up here . . .

Nerina Pallot glammed up.

Sounds like Jackson Browne melded with Warren Zevon.

Come on, you've got to admire Romeo for his positive attitude. Over 3000 songs rated - all a 10.

Go Romey! 

This "dialog" has prompted me to write my first comment ever. I like the range of music so much that I have spent way too much money on iTunes and I don't even bother to rate tunes. New discoveries are commonplace. I also have watched civility in the comment section decline markedly over the last year or two, and have wondered why so many people feel the need to bash artists they don't happen to like. And then get into Insult Olympics with other listeners who disagree with their opinions. It has turned the comment section into a smelly pit of machismo unfortunately, everybody puttin' up their dukes and slamming each other as best as they possibly can - the angrier the better.  One of the great things about RP, which others have repeatedly stated is that there is a great range of musical styles. Odds are that we don't like everything we hear, right? So, uh, so what? Is it that compelling to get on the keyboard and send out that intense hate? Is it really that satisfying? Must be.  Quite the playpen of insecurity and a sad need for validation. The contrast of this behavior with the wonderful musical offerings is stark.
Oh, and Bill? Thanks for playing Talking Heads, David Byrne, and REM. All great bands/artists IMHO. (And comically predictable magnets for the wrath of the hate posters.) I brace for the onslaught while I climb back out of the pit. 

If not Godlike, then certainly Angelic.

Um, 12:30 is the time the song was played, not how long the song is.

this really is a fantastic song...

it's from a 3-D rendering program or computer game, not photoshop

Caught me offguard in the playlist, but as it went on my heart ached with those sweet strings. Ahhh, that's why we have Bill back there pulling the strings. Great job again today!

New Wave meets Surf music; 3 quarters New Order and 1 quarter The Ventures.

And once again, I would advise all those who don't understand a band to do a little research - why are the Pixies considered so influential? Check it out, with the Internet research is so easy, there is no excuse for laziness. Modern culture is sinking under the weight of narcissism - if I don't like it or understand it, it must be worthless. Shameful.

Very funny. I knew some Deadheads in college and they were the biggest screwups and assholes. Only one of them graduated on time...barely. Unfortunately I've associated the band with those clowns for too long. Phil Burtner, here's hoping that you're just a little less of a pencil dick these days. 

A perfect way to maximize a migraine...

Will you all just shut up and listen to the damn music?

I'm thinking he's gonna hang his head low...

actually, you clearly can't see that all of the low ratings add up to at least as much as the high ones

most of us have good taste

that said, parts of this song have merit... it's just his voice that ruins it

If I close my eyes, I can imagine myself at a Cirque du Soleil show....  then I open my eyes, and find a different kind of circus...the office.

My upload, great album, sometimes quite experimental, courtesy of Damon Albarn

jagdriver? Really? Shortly after graduating high school I stopped being impressed by the cars people drive. You can be a huge prick and drive a nice car like, for instance, a Jag (if you really own one, that is.) I got an idea, why don't you pound some sand and I'll crank the Talking Heads/David Byrne music all the way up? And fwiw, I drive a Dodge pickup truck. I don't need my car to impress people. I do that with my excellent taste in music. 

Good luck finding this on "regular radio" here in my part of the country. 
Good luck finding a drive-time station that is playing music, for that matter.

What a fabulous way to deconstruct the concept of the artist. Question: Is the artist beholden to the patron, in that the patron must receive a product that they "like" as a consequence of their financial backing?

Or, since the artist is presumably a visionary, is it more appropriate that the product should be something that satisfies the artist's need to create - and patron be damned?

Robert Fripp has dealt with this question frequently in his diaries. When his audience takes him to task for not creating music that they want, he tells them that it's their time to move on.

However, there is an implied contract that - when I provide the artist with money - that I'll receive something substantive in return. And not "Metal Machine Music" when I thought I was getting something like "Transformer."

So then is the artist a conveyor belt of the same product that the patron demands? Then, are they not artists anymore,. but factory workers?

Therefore...is Bill (the artist) really obliged to manipulate his playlist (his art) to satisfy the patrons (financial supporters), or should he be left to his own devices and - if you don't want to support it any more you should just move on?

Just because Ozzie was a faux-devil-worshipping drugged out poser with no musical talent from 25 years ago who now can't talk straight doesn't mean his music is worth playing.  

I'm just sayin'...

Well, IMHO, THIS is sappy.  The only way I enjoy this bunch is when Neil is there to give them a much-needed edge. This song is a perfect example of how the harmonies can get TOO beautiful to the point of being trite and cheesy. I'm giving it a 5.  Needs more depth.

Had so many good times at shows! Just do not understand how this song isn't rated better. Are you guys listening to it really? WE ARE EVERYWHERE!

You're an idiot.

Ouffff! When does it finish??? This song is eternal!!!

What are you, his therapist? Hugs for everyone!! 

If only there was some way to just remove pink floyd completely and permanently: TEDIOUS

Wow this is pretty good, I was not expecting something this fine from The Black Crows. RP does it again.

Cue: the haters          Personally I find Sigur Ros fascinating. But, man oh man, how the trolls drove to these guys...  Pretty funny comments though.

This song is custom-made for white-people dancing.

I see row after row of old Russian men sunbathing against a wall with their trousers around their ankles.

meh, i liked his songs better when they didn't have sanctimonious environmentalist anthem lyrics.

I'm a charter member of the Beck is Dreck club.

So it was our second date and we hadn't even kissed and I plucked up the courage and we kissed in a back alley and then I walked her back to her car and she revealed she had brought an overnight bag and drove me back to my apartment and she played Essence I think she wanted me to be in the mood for luurve and I have always loved the track and I think of MaryLou whenever I play the track I'm sorry I done you no good...

The album cover kind of reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids.

I am begging you please

This song is soooo good for the ears...

And you, Sir, are an idiot.

Look out, Honey.... The levee's about to break !!!

Amazing stuff- his voice is great, but it's the Trevor Horn production which takes this away and out of sight.

Remember going back to a friend's house in Manchester just after this came out, and listening to the cd on his new (damn fine) stereo at top whack. I wasn't into Seal, and didn't want to be, but this blew all preconceptions away (there may have been smokeables involved, but I stand by my judgement).

If you have a decent stereo, crank it up and you'll see what I mean.

Blinding track- thank you, Ollie! 

His voice reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it.

this sounds like English...what does it mean?

I'm in the love Corgan, hate Young camp. 

Classic. End of.

God, how I hate pretentious Americans.

Like most floyd work, it's pretentious, overwrought and fairly silly.  

Like ice cream sundaes, but nice to have once in a while.

I don't understand how anyone could like this horror. Dissonant harmonies, someone's singing flat the entire song.. nasal illness that is insanely contagious. ICK! 

Sing it, Goat Boy! 

Edited for accuracy!

OH NO Como Va!!!

This is exactly what I hope to avoid by listening to RP.  Why Bill? Why???

Oh!  I could turn on any lame station here in LA and find this.  AAAAAAAAGH!!

                     

whoa!!!
This guy doesn't look like he rocks that hard! HaHah!

Sounds like the opening to a late night talk show.

For someone who is 26 years old, you are far too young to be such an
SOB.  What possibly could have happen to you in your short life to make
you so sad and angry?  What ever it was, you need to move on!  Life is
much better if you let go of all that anger.  I don't know where you live, but
I could recommend a good shrink if your any where near Montana.  Also,
maybe listening to music, which usually calm's people, is not a good thing
for you.  Just an observation.
