I miss these days when music was great
There is some good music out there today, but 90s alternative music was a great scene. I miss it, too. Soundgarden are a great band, and Chris Cornell is one of rocks great voices.

Incubus
^ Yeah, I saw them a couple of weeks ago. Acqueous Transmissions is always their closer. It's a killer song. I think Incubus are one of the best bands going, however, there never is much discussion about them on this board. It's to bad :cry:

Pearl Jam
It's pretty good. I am kind of shocked that the song appears to be so radio-friendly. I can't remember the last time PJ did that.

Radiohead
Thom is such a great guitar player. Love that version of True Love Waits. That song is just mesmerizing.

Radiohead
^ To me, it didn't seem dark enough. That's always the feeling I get when I listen to that song. Part of it was due to the fact that it was daylight in the video.

Radiohead
I don't think Weird Fishes/Apreggi was that good. It's a brilliant tune, I just need to see someone playing a guitar. I don't know, it was just missing something. And the beat in the background was distracting. Also, I was disappointed with Harrowdown Hill. I have never heard that song live, and it is my favorite song from the Eraser. But True Love Watis...Wow! That was sure good. I wish we could get a studio version of that song. I am just curious to see what the result would be. I wish he would have played Paranoid Android. That is so fucking awesome live and solo. That version for the Bridge School benefit is top notch.

Radiohead
^ absolutely. I just have a problem when people try to censor my opinion. I don't even care if others love his haircut. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I don't need someone telling me what I should and shouldn't say.

Radiohead
I don't want to be his mum or dad. I want to discuss what I think on a message board. Bad haircut IMHO...deal with it!

U2
I would love to get MLK in the setlist when I go to see them. I love that song. Also, I am really missing 40. That was such a great closer on the Vertigo tour.
-
Panic At The Disco
Is a band still a band if everyone leaves? I will have to ask Axl Rose.
-
Jet
Yeah, I have not heard a thing from this band in a long time. Not a big fan, but I never gave them much of a chance. I just remembering hearing so much about them and then nothing at all.

Radiohead
I don't like that haircut on Thom. He looks like a shaggy dog. Someone, he always made the receded hairline look good with some type of odd cut. He should go back to it. By the way, I love it when he goes acoustic. I love Jonny, but sometimes I wish we would get more of this type of stuff. Sometimes, I think their songs would be better served if Jonny left his mad scientist sound kit at home.

Modest Mouse
I was just listening to Ocean Breathes Salty today. Great song!
-
Taylor Swift
I like her, too. Good pop tunes. She is tone deaf when she sings live, though.

Julian Casablancas Preps Solo Album Phrazes for the Young
^ Yeah, after further consideration, I guess a solo album would be interesting. I just can't help but think of it as a distraction from what I really want....a new Strokes album. I've waited long enough. I am a big fan of Julian's as well. The Strokes are one band that I will always follow no matter what anyone else thinks. That said, I still hope this album is both a commercial and critical success. It would be nice to experience the same excitement I felt during the "Is This It" era. If not, no big deal.

Pearl Jam
^ I love early Pearl Jam, but some of their recent albums have been off track for me.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
^ Rx=prescription drug; MD=Medical Doctor

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
That video is intense. Especially the spot on his head after the burn. I think his addiction to prescription meds following this accident, and subsequent death, will cause major reform in the Rx industry. These MDs who act as facilitators must stop.
-
Nirvana
Velvet Revolver was always a train wreck, IMO. I don't know how I can love two bands, STP and GNR, however, dislike the combined efforts of the individual parts.

Concerts/Artists you have seen/Are planning to see
^ Incubus are fantastic live. I just saw them last week.

Julian Casablancas Preps Solo Album Phrazes for the Young
I want a new Strokes album. I don't care about percentage of contribution, and I certainly don't care about any solo projects.
-
Julian Casablancas Preps Solo Album Phrazes for the Young
Damn it, Julian. I don't care about your solo project. Get to work on finishing up the new Strokes album.

Hottest 100 of All Time
^ I expect a less random list ;)

Hottest 100 of All Time
^ Because it is a mash up and full of inconsistencies.

Hottest 100 of All Time
^ Yeah, I like Rage but that is way, way, way..................way too high.
