    Glad to see some other 7M3 love.

    Their albums Orange Avenue and Dis/Location are also worth picking up. If there is a "low point", it's the album Economy of Sound... but still not a bad album either...

    they suck !
    Corporate Rock at their biggest. Just a major label puppet. There's better music besides the music that appears/appeared on MTV kids.

    i love them! i've only gotten to see them once, and it was an opening slot on a mb20 tour, but they had tons of energy. i have all their albums (except american standard, which i have an old taped copy of), and agree that they are hugely underrated. i think rockcrown is a masterpiece... i can never skip a single song on it. i think the low point for them is dis/location though, but maybe just because i didn't listen to it as much. i actually really like economy of sound....

    I wouldn't label them corporate rock in any sense. They play very small clubs and venues. Maybe you should actually look at what corporate rock means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_rock

    Do 7M3 resemble any of the stuff there? I think not. It's ok not to like them. It's not as if they are even remotely popular these days. Just don't mislabel them.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Yeah, I'm not saying you're wrong, but - at least - you are misinformed.

    Just like your beloved Mark Arm, these guys have (and some of them had even during their success) day jobs that got them through the rough patches. Their biggest hit, American Standard, was not released by a "major" label (If I remember right, Atlantic only hopped on board to help Mammoth after some songs began to take off...)... and subsequent albums have not had commercial or critical success BUT they have maintained a loyal fanbase through touring and playing smaller venues.

    So - with all due respect - you are wrong...

    EDIT: AND!!! 7M3 was hardly a MTV staple... hardly... while I know it's trendy for music snobs to bash certain bands, it certainly should not be held against a band that they had 2.5 massive hits (Lucky was marginally successful as a single)...

    funny story about rodrigo - I was getting towards the end of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (people gotta check out Gabriel Garcia MArquez, by the way, if you're in to books - my favorite writer ever) - and somewhere towards the end there is a character (I can't remember specifics right now) that talks about tying another character to a tree and calling him rodrigo.

    Obviously, the inspiration for the song - I even found it discussed somewhere, but can't remember where...

    That's pretty cool, never heard that before.
