The game does look great, though. This is good. Lord knows I’m not updating MVP’s rosters again.
The 2004 soundtrack was much better, the "True Love is Blind" song is pretty sweet.
I'm sure Cobain is very upset where ever he is.
Very debatable point and I don't know if I want to bite...
########. Let me introduce you to the black crows.
A. They both shower after three periods.
I think they re formed, but don't quote me on it
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!
That was some form of sarcasm, right?
I need a Kurt Cobain reference like I need a hole in the head.
Seems Kurt took the hole in the head advice
Until ...?
"America's favourite pastime?" Damn Canadians.
Black Crowes are a tremendous band, tremendous.
But the last great stuff is silly. the last great rock album was released in October, and there have been at least 30 great albums between Nevermind and Boys and Girls.....
Oh, and America mourns the lesser Seattle area frontman
AIC > Nirvana
I didn't say they were not...
"The Stooges, The Pixies, Wolfmother, Death From Above 1979, Cities In Dust, Editors"
That's a pretty interesting group. Death From Above 1979 is a Canadian bass and drum group, and I'm racking my brains to remember the name of the original Canadian bass and drum group. From Kingston, maybe? Anyone?
The two trailers currently on the 2K Sports site feature The Walkmen's "The Rat" and Les Savy Fav's "Hold On To Your Genre,"
Now those two songs 'rock'!!
Speaking of all things Pixies, has anyone heard the TV on the radio version of Mr Grieves???
It is pretty ####### out there
"Boys and Girls"?
Bryan Ferry's okay, but...
Considering that I have no idea who "Arcade Fire" is, me.
Yeah, "Kid A" counts for at least fifty.
Pretty cool interview, though it seems Fugazi are finished. I must say I am pretty ####### happy with what they released during their time.

Arcade Fire's new album has been leaked and let me assure you all, it does not dissapoint.
I'm still holding my breath for a new Pailhead album.
Well, no, its because most of the songs are terrible. There are a couple songs that are actually songs, but most are a series of unrelated noises.
Perfect Example of a review of Kid A.
How is it that Kid A's opening track, laden with an electronic vocal stuttering "bleh, bluh-bleh bleh bluh" is the most fascinating statement made in rock & roll this year? Because somehow, even when Radiohead blathers and blips nonsense, it's profound. The band's future-perfect musical grammar may be hard to decipher, and the melody is even more subliminal, but the journey traveled with Radiohead reveals them to be not only rock music's greatest adventurers in 2000, but teachers as well. --Beth Massa
She is saying its ####, but its Radiohead, so its great ####.
Edited buy author.
2. Nevermind was not even the best rock album of 1991. Loveless? Steady Diet Of Nothing? No Pocky For Kitty?
3. Arcade Fire is the very dictionary definiton of dull.
And Mastodon's Blood Mountain was the best record of last year.
Never heard of them, but it was you who got me into 'Seperation Sunday' so I'm listening...
Off to see if they are on emusic now...
oh yeah, and Mudhoney ruled!!!
I forget - did they sell out or not?
Pretty cool. At the shop all day and it has been steady if unspectacular. Can't wait for baseball season as always and just pumping it day to day, it seems.
Just drove a customer a little nuts as I had Spacemen 3's Rollercoaster on a little too loud...
How you been? Not too cold I hope!!!
Define Sell Out??
There's plenty afoot in the metal underground-- it's the mainstream version that desperately needs a new set of heroes. While junior-high faves Ozzy Osbourne, Guns n' Roses, and Metallica look like they could no longer eat the rich without gnawing on their own fatuous fingers, Mastodon are on the cusp of arena-sized success. The Atlanta quartet's already released two excellent full-lengths, 2002's Remission and 2004's Leviathan, as well as formative material in 2001's Lifesblood EP (which resurfaced earlier this year on Call of the Mastodon). If Blood Mountain, their brilliantly upsized and unrelenting third album, doesn't confirm their position as the greatest big-time metal crew on earth, I demand a state-by-state recount.
Worth checking out I think...
Any person who drops Sepultura and Jesus Lizard references next to Teenage Fanclub and Matthew Sweet references has a ton in common with me musically.
But Nevermind is still the best album that year. Anything else is like picking Annie Hall in '77. Make all the logical and passionate arguments you want, but Star Wars should take it every time.
I don't know about that. Separation Sunday is a better album; it's more focused, harder, and it tells a great, if scary, story. But there's some absolutely incredible stuff on Boys and Girls in America - it was probably my favorite album of 2006. Boys and Girls in America is a broader album, both sonically and thematically, which probably works against it. “Hot Soft Light” is the most blatant Thin Lizzy homage, at least musically, that I’ve ever heard - that a good thing, BTW. Craig Finn's singing is better, and there's still a lot of great lines there:
"She was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a Christian.
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend."
I mean, that's brilliant...
What if you don't like Nirvana?
I was going a littleover the top, I'll admit. G & B in America is ####### great and sits pretty in my 2006 Top 5.
I could talk about Hold Steady Lyrics all day. I better throw one in though...
hold steady ybor city. you're up to your neck in sweat and wet confetti. if you want to get a little bit heady. it's gonna have to get a little bit heavy. we're jamming jetskis into the jetty now. with some guy who looks like rocco sefredi. and i've heard he's been dead once already.
Only cause it made me google Rocco Sefredi...

1991 was just one of those years really. I mean...how ####### much would Girlfriend be ahead of any album from 2006?
I also own a Jesus Lizard/Nirvana split single. I might sell it soon at a sizable profit as I need money.
Jesus Lizard were nuts, I saw them live and as a 19 year old kid was scared shitless.
Didn't 'Deerhunter'come out on 1997???
:)
Oops
Back in '90...Nirvana opened for Jesus Lizard at Maxwell's, feeling that the J-Lizards had blown them off the stage previously.
After their waggly set, Cobain hung around the bar & poseur-alley...and, even then, he refused to talk baseball with me and Ira (Yo la tengo...your DJ'ing gig!) Kaplan.
Touche. Well I find The Hold Steady completely unlistenable, so that's just, like, your opinion, man. However, f anyone did like Funeral, then you will probably like Neon Bible, too. It's pretty darn good. And the new Andrew Bird is solid.
Or Star Wars?
You remind me of Rod Stewart when he was young / cuz you got passion and you're sexy and all the punks think that you're dumb
They no longer exist since their drummer was killed by a reckless driver two years ago, but Silkworm put out half a dozen records over the last decade that could all earn the title Great Rock Records. My favorite is Italian Platinum, but purists who like their rock to be electric guitar, bass, drums, and nothing more gravitate to Firewater.
Good Recall. The Inbreds, indeed from Kingston.
91 was a crazy year in terms of great albums. Confluence of the stars I guess
The Deer Hunter came out in 1978, and won Best Picture.
For anybody who wants to know the linkage between the Hold Steady and a baseball website: check it.
As for Matthew Sweet, I think Girlfriend is really a rather overrated album--it's very much Sandy Koufax's career--the best parts are amazing, but there's a pretty sizable chunk of mediocrity at the bottom (IMO, Kimi Ga Suki or Altered Beast are better records).
Last year, the best record was either The Blood Brothers' Young Machetes or Pretty Girls Make Graves' Elan Vital.
Low End Theory is also in my top 10 albums of 1991
MBV: Loveless and Unsane: Unsane above the utterly overrated Nirvana: Nevermind for 1991's best albums. I understand very few would prefer Unsane, but I think Loveless stands above Nevermind even more looking back on things. I think Fugazi's Steady Diet came out that year too.
My word. I think I would pay $500 to see that show.
The less said about that Bob Rock mediocrity the better.
A band that shares a name with (names itself after?) John Kennedy Toole's other book piques my interest.
C'mon -- those albums really rocked it.
As did 2 Legit 2 Quit.
Not quite. It's the name of the new album by Arcade Fire (following Funeral in 2004).
Actually, what they're <u>supposed</u> to make you feel is that the poster is a hundred times cooler than you, but in fact he merely shows he likes some hilariously crappy whiter-than-bleached-rice band.
The best phonogram of 1991 was Star Time. It was also the best of the entire decade, and the best of all time up to now. "There It Is".
Pier Platters is where I bought Nevermind when it first came out. Never heard of the band, but saw the album cover and bought it sight unheard. Dumb reason to buy and album, but man did I hit it with that one. I miss Pier Platters and Boo Boos
I'm with baudib here. I find the last 25 years or so of popular rock material to generally be excreble. The exception to that would be the brief period in the early 1990's when a lot of very good and other listenable stuff came out. For a while, there were commercial radio stations dedicated to the specific sub-genre (maybe there are such rock stations now, but they're not on my presets). Nevermind was the best album by the best band of the period. To this day, you can turn on the radio (which I try not to do) and hear imitations.

Well, no, its because most of the songs are terrible. There are a couple songs that are actually songs, but most are a series of unrelated noises.
Right on, but one question. Which songs on Kid-A were the ones that actually were songs? I couldn't ever figure that out. Oh, but I'm one of those too-stupid-to-get-it listeners, nevermind.
