I completely agree.

Speaking of Audioslave...My friend just went to their concert at MSG and said it was amazing. I'm a big Chris Cornell and Audioslave fan myself and I was wondering whether their live shows are available anywhere online for download like PJ?

Five acts that I like to listen to as I write include:

Aretha Franklin
Bruce Springsteen
Big Mama Thorton
Benny Goodman
Billie Holiday


I usually listen to blues/jazz to get in the writing spirit.

I've written poetry inspired directly by acts other than Pearl Jam which include:

Paco Pena
Kate Bush
Radiohead
U2

Ms. Haiku

I just found out this morning that I can play my CDs on my computer. I already listened to Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, but this also means I can listen to Holiday music (including the Charlie Brown Christmas, John Denver, and Johnny Mathis among others) the minute I come back from New Jersey. Yippee Yippeee Yipppppeeeeee!!!!

I actually find it difficult to write with music on - unless it's turned low in the background.

But what I listen to is mostly grunge/alternative
classic rock
classical
jazz
jam bands

typical northeastern white suburbanite kind of stuff

Hey, I've heard a few cure songs, a friend taped a couple for me, plus I heard some on tv. I love what I've heard so far so I have been wanting to buy a cd, but I'm not rich so I'm just looking to buy 1 CD. Which would you recommend? (PS, I no good with names, I wouldn't have a clue what the names of the songs I have heard are)

pacifier

I have three favourite bands that I love listening to,

Pearl Jam
Powderfinger
Shihad/Pacifier

other than that it's kinda a mixed bag, in no particular order...

The Who
Creadence Clearwater Rival
Soundgarden
Kenny Rogers
Paul Kelly
Crowded House
Jebediah
Neil Young
Temple of the Dog
Red Hot Chili Peppers
and quite a few bands local to Melbourne that noone would have heard of

and a little bit of coldplay rem and u2

But I would say about 2 thirds of my collection consists of may fav 3

depopulationINC

their new cd...Bloodflowers...is not to bad. For a single CD, their first 2 are their best.

Staring At The Sea, and Galore are 2 greatest hits albums, Staring At The Sea covering up to the mid 80s and Galore there after. However, theri newer "Greatest Hits" album is actually kinda weak.

Thanks. Two of the songs I remember hearing are love cats and pictures of you (think that is there titles). Do you know what cds these are off of and if they are good ones?

depopulationINC

I don't recal, I would have to check. I am not sure about pictures as a tittle, I could be wrong. I think I might know the one you refer to. I haven't listened to them in a while....so it isn't that fresh.

I think love cats is on Staring at the Sea and Pictures of You is on Disintegration. I like alot of the Cure's songs so I think they are good but I am biased. I have not listened to them in awhile though.
