    I've seen them a couple of time live and they were great shows. Very entertaining. I'm not sure how they are since Steven Page left. He was a big part of the band. Has anybody been to one of their shows since he left?

    I've never been to any of their shows but their latest album without Page is actually one of their best ones yet! :mrgreen:

    Awww... remember hearing them for the first time years ago when Mr. Unlost and I were skiing in New Hampshire, having a few beers between runs _ they were playing them at the outdoor bar. "If I Had A Million Dollars."

    Love Gordon, love Born On A Pirate Ship.

    Saw them a few times on swings through Boston, always a great show, got autographs once when they played a free show at Government Center and basically shut down the middle of the city during rush hour. I think they finished at 8 or so, and sat there until after 11 signing autographs. That was impressive.

    I don't know what they've done since Page left. Sad that happened _ I love his voice.

    Always thought they were underappreciated as musicians, because of the humor.

    I had a friend in high school that was really into this band.

    Only Album I have of theirs is "stunt" and it is a great record. You must hear the weird Al parody of " One Week" called "Jerry Springer" It's classic.

    I have heard "Maroon" and "Rock Spectacle", and thought those were good.

    I don't really follow them that much. That being said, they do have some great songs though. 8-)

    Some faves:
    If I had a million dollars
    what a good boy
    old Apartment
    Tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
    Falling for the first time
    Brian Wilson


    Weird Al Parody: :mrgreen:

    Is that the "snack time" album, or have they put one out since then?
