    i want to clarify, rockking.

    pj8 was good. it's just that...i've heard it already. you know?

    No, I agree, it was fine. But I don't need another one. I want something different. Something that.....I dunno.....pushes the boundaries somehow. Experiments into sounds they've never done before. Something to remind us all how great they really were/are.

    to me, i always see jeff tweedy on that other side of the EV coin. they're both extremely powerful songwriters and lyricists but what tweedy has that EV doesn't have (or at the very least, what he has not shown us to have) is this creative restlessness to take things in places that he's never been before. it's not always successful but it's always a departure and that is something.

    Someone who sounds like you said the same thing somewhere else once, and I didn't get it at the time. This time I totally got it. Good point.

    True, but have you listened to the last 2 Wilco records? There's experimentation, and then there's just writing crappier songs. "Being There" was their finest album, and that's when Tweedy stuck to his original Alt country sound, but created something huge & original in its own way

    also, the above post is totally beside the point. my point was that wilco takes it in different directions but they never lose what makes them essentially...well, wilco.

    pearl jam cranks out the same meat and potatoes with each release. everyone likes meat and potatoes but at the end of the day it's still meat and potatoes.

    ya dig?
