I think the 97s don't know how to make crappy music. Ever 97s tune I hear on RP is fun, rockin' head-bopping solid.

Half the lyrics and music is nearly identical from a similar song in Jesus Christ Superstar.  Not quite ripped off, but oddly close.

Ooh where?  I would LOVE to see these guys live.  I've listened their new album (Blame it on Gravity) more than any other album I owned in 2008.

I just saw these guys at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival here in San Fran this past weekend.  Wow, what a show!  They are fantastic live!  HIGH octane energy!

Yeah, or, um, the ORIGINAL one by the Shangri-La's: "Remember (Walking in the Sand)."

Thanks for playing the Old 97s! Agreed, they are phenomenal live.
A little Rhett Miller would be great too. Fireflies (w/Rachel Yamagata) might be a nice starter song for RP :)

Bill plays Rhett and Company occasionally. One of my fave groups. One of the best live shows you'll see, too.

I put up with the endless complaints in blues songs because the music is amazing.  This... not so much.

And more from Fight Songs would be awesome. {#Innocent}

Old 97s are the shizzle. This album is not my fav, but I still like it. They've got a lot of great tunes. And they're from Denton, but don't hold that against them.

The Cure?

I can't imagine hearing the Cure in this...

I like the Cure and all, but this is completely different. Rhymically, there's no Cure going on here.

This is just good foot stompin' rock.

Just lowered my rating after HEAVY rotation. Sure, not by corporate standards, but given that it is soo hard to get music uploaded and played, I am a little dissapointed. Lets get more of the music uploaded and then don't play them as often if they don't pass muster in the community. IMHO.
