Are they any good? I like Temple of The Dog, Pearl Jam, and Sound Garden? Would I like them? I know Temple of the Dog was a tribute to the lead singer dieing... and I love that album.

    I just listened to Holy Roller (First Song that finished downloading in the Album) and I have to say it was pretty good.

    They fall under the "guilty pleasure" category for me. Worth checking out, at the very least.

    One of my favorites from them is "Stargazer".
    Stone Gossard...riffmeister extraordinaire!

    If you (obviously) like Pearl Jam's instrumentals and can settle for Andy Wood's vocals, you should enjoy them. I really like 'This is Shangrila', but I prefer 'Crown of Thorns' being sung by Eddie. To really be able to say youre a fine-tuned PJ fan, you need to experience MLB.

    Having first heard MLB back in the days of 1989, does anybody else get the same HUGE kick out of people still discovering them in 2007? I love it.

    Chloe Dancer is the greatest intro ever.

    I personally found them quite difficult to get into at first but I really like them now.

    Andrew was definitely a great showman.

    Mother Love Bone rock! Andy Woods vocals are awesome and Stone is at his finest. Stargazer is a beautiful song...Its all I can listen to at 5 in the morning on my way to work. Its got a different feel about it than PJ (as you would expect..) but its all good!

    definitely.

    They have a few fun songs, but they're nothing spectacular. The original Crown of Thorns is miles better than the PJ cover though, especially with the Chloe Dancer intro.

    I don't know... his voice is good.. instrumentals are good... The lyrics are good... but I don't know... the tunes aren't very cool or catchy... Did their second album ever come out? I'd like to try that one... I believe in time that this band could have become something amazing... it's just to bad...
  • Mike RenzellaMike Renzella Posts: 55
    The only track I've ever heard is the one on the Singles soundtrack. I believe it's the Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns' one? I always seem to forget about MLB, until they come up in a thread, and then I make a mental note to seek out their music, only to forget again. Maybe this time, it'll stick.

    MLB are amazing..... second best band ever... next to PJ of course ;)
    If you're just gonna download a few tracks to try em out I suggest 'Stargazer' (beautiful, simply beautiful) 'Stardog Champion' (feel good tune:)) 'Chloe dancer/crown of thorns' (a MUST) 'Capricorn Sister' (the ultimate getting ready to go out with my best buds tune) and 'Lady Godiva Blues' (just for Stone's playing and the Andy outburst "STOOOONEY BOY!!")
    MLB are SOMETIMES overlooked and the material isn't extensive so it could be worth just getting the 1992 double disc compilation from amazon or play, it's not expensive and SOOOOO worth the investment.
    Ever heard Malfunkshun? also Andrew Wood on vocals (before MLB) but also rather good.... check them out too....
    I love MLB and can't wait to get my Apple and Stargazer Lily tattooed on my shoulders for my love for them... awesome band and such a sad loss.....
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
