Single Podcast Theory

I'm hooked. Listened to No Code, Pinkpop and Unplugged episodes so far. I love the dynamic, laughter and basically that it's pretty much what my PJ friends and I sound like when we're sitting around shooting the shit about performances, songs and albums. Although my favorite part is probably when you fangirl out over Eddie's luscious locks and general swoon-worthy good looks. It happens to all of us.

Thanks so much! We love doing it because we DO have such a fun time doing it. And there’s nothing wrong with checkin out Ed over and over and over and over....

Always love hearing other fans' top 10 lists. Sure, some your songs the songs that you chose wouldn't come near my own top ten (which would be very Ten/Vs/Vitalogy heavy) but I respect your choices and enjoyed hearing the reasoning behind them - especially for "Parachutes" - kids will get you every time! (Sorry for the "spoiler" there).

And yes indeed, HH is a beast! (Trying to avoid another "spoiler" here.)

PS...still trying to catch up on some shows from the past few weeks. I have enough trouble finding time to LISTEN to your shows - I don't know how you two find the time to actually CREATE them! Keep it up, however!

Finally listened to the Benny podcast - love that album...sorry about my typo in the above post - the one you read it "on air." It was my bad, not yours. I don't know how so many of you make such lengthy, eloquent posts all the time. The above post isn't the first time I've butchered my thoughts when posting here - and probably won't be my last. I will, however, strive to do better.

I also caught up by listening to the other recent podcasts, namely the one about No Code. I really like that album (and the hilarious podcast the THREE of you put together about it) but have to admit that I can't get it to crack my own "Top 3 PJ albums" - the first three will always win for me. Don't get me wrong, Sometimes into Hail, Hail is absolutely killer while In My Tree and Present Tense are two of their greatest songs. However, after those (and maybe Off He Goes and Habit) it drops off for me. I get it. It's where the band tried to "test" their fan base - and they succeeded. Those who hung on seem to have a comradery of sorts. Still, I'm not sure why so many PJ fans ADORE songs like Red Mosquito and Smile. Yes, they're indeed decent enough tunes but I gotta say they wouldn't crack my top 50. To each his/her own, of course. It's all a matter of personal taste - and, yes, I'm willing to take the heat for this comment as well.

While I'm "here" - an extremely-belated top 10 songs of mine. As I stated in my previous post, it's very Ten/Vs/Vitalogy heavy. In fact, those are the only albums a represented in my list - although those No Code tracks I mentioned plus Given To Fly, Brain of J, and Do the Evolution deserved to be mentioned (as does Last Exit).

10. Black
9. Better Man
8. Daughter
7. Go
6. Animal
5. Release
4. RVM
3. Corduroy
2. Alive
1. Immortality

Yes, it's a bit "hits" heavy but I can't help think of how great all of these songs are live - and all the tags on most of these songs just take them to another level.

Keep up the great work, gentlemen - and I want to hear the Canadian accent that one of you was considering attempting. 

Yeah man, I can’t fault you for not loving No Code. Im not a huge fan of Riot Act but I know some people absolutely love it. 
I like Red mosquito but it had to grow on me over the years. But I LOVE Smile, I have since I first heard it way back when. What’s wrong with you? LOL KIDDING. 

Any top ten that that includes Black is ok in my book!
Thanks for hanging in there with us!

I almost love No Code...maybe I do love it. Again, it's got three absolutely EPIC songs and three, by my standards, other great tunes. It's just that the other seven, for me, range between pretty good and, well, terrible (but that's just I'm Open, which has solid live versions). 

Love the idea of replacing Mankind and I'm Open with All Night and Dead Man.Otherwise, just go from Present Tense to Around the Bend and end it.

Great topic this week...haven't listened yet but will provide my own list now to avoid being influenced by the ones you two make.
