Santana Brothers - Luz Amor Y Vida
(Mar 19, 2013 - 05:56) | as a long time fan of Santana, this song is quite disappointing. Sounds like bad elevator music. Also sounds like the type of music that grocery stores play to lull you into submissiveness and complacency.

Junip - Chickens

Junip - Chickens
(Dec 12, 2012 - 13:06) | sounds a little like the Tragically Hip, but less complex than their music

Incubus - Drive
(Dec 03, 2012 - 10:15) | this band and this song have no place on RP. put them back on the pop station

Phish - Birds of a Feather
(Nov 01, 2012 - 10:39) | I agree! Would love some lives stuff.

Radiohead - Black Star
(Nov 01, 2012 - 10:14) | Agree!

The guy who owned the store looked at each of them, and held them up, one at a time. "This one," he started, holding up a Nick Drake CD, "changed my life."
He put it down and picked up The Bends, and said, "This one will change yours."

The Raconteurs - Top Yourself
(Oct 15, 2012 - 11:17) | sounds too much like the AWFUL (but everyone loves him) Jack White. Really? Jack White's album cover makes him look like a Wraith, too. just another reason to dislike him. But the raconteurs aren't great either.

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
(Aug 29, 2012 - 13:16) | was listening to to King of Limbs yesterday. Such a stark contrast!!!!!
amazing band. simply amazing

The Tragically Hip - Fiddlers Green
(Mar 27, 2012 - 10:41) | stabby wrote: Yes a great unknown tune from this band. They lean towards more rocky tunes for sure - New Orleans is Sinking, 50 Mission Cap, Nautical Disaster, Blow at High Dough, Ahead by a Century, etc. Unique voice that may take some adjusting to for new listeners but well worth the effort.
http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/best-tragically-hip-songs.asp
If you like this slowish tune, you may like Bobcaygeon, Wheat Kings, 38 Years Old. But Fiddler's Green definitely has a more Celtic / Maritime feel to it that is not so prevalent in their other stuff.
love the Hip, esp the ALL the songs you listed up there.

The Shins - Bait And Switch
(Mar 21, 2012 - 12:00) | these guys are growing on me. cool, kinda funky, great lead singer voice. like and like again!

This and OK Computer are the best albums of any band.
in order of amazing-ness (keeping in mind that their inherent qualities are likened to children in the same family, look similar but astonishingly different):
1. In Rainbows
2. Ok Computer
3. Amnesiac
4. Hail to the Thief
5. Kid A
6. Pablo Honey
But I love them all and can't wait to see them for my first time (out of 18 years of fan-ship) in DC in June! YAY!!

I cannot explain why I like Ol' Steve so much. Sorta reminds me of Shel Silverstein (sp?).
I agree about Shel! Great stuff!

Calexico - Alone Again Or
(Sep 16, 2011 - 13:08) | This band consistently impresses me. The horns in other settings could be cheesy and reminiscent of spaghetti westerns. However, they put it all together quite nicely.

Arvo Pärt - Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten

i didn't think about it until you mentioned it and I might have to agree. But nothing can come close to Let Down. I also agree with the notion that music is "hard hitting when you're in your early 20s. That's so true! So for me, OK computer is for my 20s. In Rainbows is for my 30s. I sure hope they come up with something when I'm in my 40s. Don't break up!!!
