It is ok, starts to run together, which is fine for background noise for working.

So instead

Gay Dad: Intermission

i might get killed for saying this… but why is it that nirvana ALWAYS wins top songs of the 90s or whatever award is given out. not that i think they dont deserve any recognition, but it gets old when i watch some horrible top 100 show on vh1 and nirvana always wins. it takes the fun out of it.

It does take the suspense out of it.

I think they reserve the #2 spot for surprises. I mean, I like Radio Free Europe, but I don't even think it's the best song on Murmur.

So what would you vote for Paige?

So Jaguar, is it any good?

I just listened to

Ian McCulloch: Mannifesto……..Surprisingly good.

Strokes: Is This it………Surprisingly good

Now

Badly Drawn Boy: About a boy………… not surprisingly, good.

Top modern rock songs of all time?

Definition of Verbose - Using or containing a great and usually an excessive number of words; wordy.

Yours had just as many words.

It's good, if you like Spiritualized. Have only listened to it twice so I'd really rather give it a couple more listens to commit myself.

One of the drawbacks is that there is nothing new. Same hooks, themes, ideas, etc.. Don't know if Jason would be worth listening to if he went in some other direction anyway.

Some of it drags and could use a little more production and some of it really rocks. I think the rockier songs work better except for my favorite song on the album which is called Rated X. That song is very good. Very etherial or dreamy.

The album was put together in only 2 weeks, so hopefully it will be mastered and any weak spots pumped up.

There are a few horns here and there but not loaded with them like the last one was. Let's just hope that he leaves the damned horns home this time around!

LOL! You know, when I looked at the list, I too thought something along the lines of…

…these damned lists are nothing but guidelines for the stations,publications,etc. and their listeners. Music lists for the clueless who need some guidance. In some cases, they are lists for corporations required to present and stick to some format.

I too am sick of seeing Nirvana at the very top of these lists. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that I was never much of a Nirvana fan in the first place. They were okay and I enjoyed them but they were way down, closer to 100, on my list which would include a lot of music often never on anyone's list.

That would be great. How would you advertise that?

"The Top Songs That Would Never Appear on Anyone's List of All-Time"

Top 100 ignored rock greats

sounds like an interesting list……

And it would be blissfully REM and Nirvana free….
