The Who - The Song Is Over

You must be very young and very unfamiliar with 70's rock. The Who was in many ways considered just as cool as Zep, Beatles, whatever. Some of us never separated them much until later. While Zep and the Beatles today are probably remembered as superior bands, it sure isn't by much.

John Lennon - Jealous Guy
(Oct 08, 2012 - 10:46) | Don't get me wrong, Paul and George were great, but this song is further proof that John was a superior song writer....

Highly recommend: Kill The Moonlight, Gimme Fiction, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Have them all and these are my fave.

The Shins - It's Only Life
(Apr 23, 2012 - 18:59) | Just like every other Shins song I like.... Time release, baby... Love it now, thought it was weak the first few listens.

The Shins - Bait And Switch
(Mar 21, 2012 - 12:00) | Love this album, but why does it bother me that he is such a control freak he had to play every instrument??

Yes - Starship Trooper
(Mar 10, 2012 - 12:37) | Steve Howe is friggin' amazing.... Quite possibly the first song I ever fell in love with...

Wilco - Born Alone

And WAY more awesome when you actually see them live in person. I saw them on ACL and also saw them live twice. ACL was good, but so much does not convey on TV compared to a live show. Go get some tickets!

Wilco - Monday
(Feb 19, 2012 - 18:10) | Yet another kick-ass song from that really boring group...
|
Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut
(Feb 17, 2012 - 13:30) | I was fortunate to see the Cats way back (before they hit the big time) in a very small venue. They were HANDS DOWN one of the best acts I have ever seen to this day. My ears rang for a week.... Setzer was the shit. What an entertainer that guy is.

King Crimson - Elephant Talk
(Feb 15, 2012 - 15:30) | 5.8??? Really?? I saw KC do this about 10 years ago. Belew was right in front of me with my chest pressed against the stage. He was truly the shit on this song. Too bad you people don't get it. This is awesome guitar stuff here.....

U2 - New Year's Day

It was better than a I thought it would be. I liked getting the insight into how the Edge works. So different from the other two guys.
Anyone who likes music should check it out.
Hate saying it, but Edge he was so different and so L-A-M-E compared to the others. Jack White blew everyone completely away with the roughly-made guitar and solos on those crappy, plastic guitars. The guy it way beyond Edge... Sorry, but just sayin'.

U2 - New Year's Day
(Feb 02, 2012 - 13:47) | Quite possibly one of the best beginnings of a song ever. Still gets me excited sooo many years later....

Porcupine Tree - Cloud Zero
(Jan 31, 2012 - 19:53) | Attention PT fans (and I'm a BIG one). Do yourself a favor. If you can't see one of their shows, pick up the DVD's of their live performances on Anesthetize and Arriving Somewhere. Watching and experiencing this band perform live is another level you aren't getting by just listening to their music. Steven Wilson and the entire band are soooo excellent live. I have to break out these DVD's regularly. Listening to a CD just isn't the same as seeing them perform.

Genesis - Abacab
(Jan 23, 2012 - 11:25) | Yup... There's a hole in there somewhere..
|
Patty Griffin - Sweet Lorraine
(Jan 18, 2012 - 11:42) | Just don't get the non-believers on this tune. It touches deep into the soul with some of the most far reaching lyrics I know. Forget the voice (even though I love it). Couldn't we all pick on Neil Young or Dylan for his voice? I don't get it. Great artist, great album...

The Shins - Simple Song

I agree, but if you watch some of the Youtube interviews with Mercer, he seemed really frustrated with the band. I think he was the only true creative contributor to the albums and felt he was dragging everyone else along. I think maybe working with Danger Mouse really opened his eyes. I just don't know why he doesn't call himself a solo act at this point. Is it really "The Shins" when it's just one person?

The Shins - Simple Song
(Jan 11, 2012 - 07:29) | I just love The Shins. Interesting that Mercer cleaned out the entire band. It looks like every single band members was replaced and I hear he plays almost all instruments on the actual album. So are the band members for touring only?. This (and all Shins albums) sounds great to me, but is he some kind of control freak?

Paul McCartney - Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey

Beethoven - Symphony No.5 - Allegro Con Brio
(Jul 24, 2011 - 20:20) | I don't care how many stupid a$$ commercials, cartoons, etc. you remember for this song. it's a 10! OK?? Genius! (Mozart may have been sliiiiightly better...)
