    Just pointing out that we have some clear differences in what we find to be good music.  (Although we obviously agree on some items)

    Heck yes, if Dankind will pass me the feathered roach clip we will turn that shit up.  (My sub-woofer in the back makes my headlights dim to the beat)



    Yesssssssssssssssssss!!!

    There it is!!!

    You need to swap out the OG rims for some Cragar mags though.

    Great choices!

    Despite all the hoopla over Bono's ego issues and the mass-appeal that goes with mega-star groups like U2 and Pearl Jam, etc., U2 (and Pearl Jam, of course) nevertheless still ranks as one of the greats for me.  And although there are bands I've been a longer fan of, it strikes me as very cool that I've been following U2 since 1980- almost 40 years!

    as someone else mentioned, my faves aren't static. it's always a toss up between Headstones, Pearl Jam, Watchmen, and the Hip. Headstones are by far the most played in the last few years, though, so that's why I said that. They continue to put out quality rock, whereas PJ doesn't, and Watchmen don't really put out anything anymore, and well, we know what happened with the Hip.

    I sent you my extra Love + Fury, right? have you found any of their earlier catalog to check out? Picture of Health (their first) or Teeth and Tissue (their second) are my recommendations.

    Maybe the greatest fits would be a good intro to a newcomer

    I actually don't like doing that when introducing music to someone. I like someone to get the full context of the band, not just the radio singles (often my favourite tracks aren't on the radio). I'm a full album guy. And I gather Brian is most likely the same.

    I pretty much am.  If I know a band's music fairly well but only like the hits, I might get the "Best Of" but for bands I like, those are frustrating because my best of will always be different. 

    So HFD, what's your #1 favorite Headstones record?  (You've probably mentioned it but I don't recall for sure, thanks!)

    shit, I probably have an easier time ranking PJ albums than Headstones. I love them all for different reasons. And I probably listen to them all equally. If I had to rank them, it would be:

    1) Picture of Health
    2) Teeth and Tissue (one of my favourite bass riffs of all time-Unsound)
    3) Love + Fury (their reunion record-I played it so much my car cd player won't play it anymore)
    4) Little Army
    5) The Oracle of Hi Fi
    6) Smile and Wave (many people have this as their #1, the title track is almost always their last song of every show)
    7) Nickels For Your Nightmares

    honourable mention: One In The Chamber Music. It's a record of acoustic renditions of classic songs and two new ones. I love acoustic records, but I don't listen to this that much. it's just....different. a punk band doing acoustic versions? it works for some songs, not so much for others. 

    their greatest hits (called The Greatest Fits) is actually really good, as it has two songs that were new at the time, both of them explosive rockers. And the liner notes is the band and crew telling stories about each track. it's a really cool package.

    you might also like Hard Core Logo (canadian cult classic, and one of the few acting jobs I actually think Hugh was good at, the other being Wind River). Hugh was cast as the main character, Joe Dick, and he performs the majority of the soundtrack. He is lead vocals, while the backing band is a band named Swamp Baby. 8 tracks of mostly ripping fast punk rock (including a cover of Sonic Reducer). Then there's 3 other songs, by Teenage Head, The Ramones, and Chris Spedding.

    sorry folks, back to the thread. I could talk about these guys all day.

    Early on I thought Enya (sorry for the previous misspelling!) was pure low-cal whipped cream fluff until I saw her on a late night show once and was dumbstruck by how sincere and real her music felt.  One of those unexpectedly pleasant surprises.
