Taking Sides: Cowboy Junkies vs 10,000 Maniacs vs Edie Brickell's New Bohemians

I'm inclined to go with 10,000 Maniacs if only b/c of how much time I spent with In My Tribe. The local record store had a ton of cutouts and my whole social circle picked it up that year (87?), so it seemed to always be on nigh everywhere I went for a couple months. I'm gonna throw it on though sometime soon, cuz something's telling me these ears today may find it sucky...

Some one point me to the thread where [nabisco] talks at length about 10,000 Maniacs.

Wow, I totally expected EVERYONE on this thread - not just half of you -to be all "Cowboy Junkies by a mile, they don't even belong on this shitty list," but hey, shows what I know.

Natalie Merchant should be killed she is insufferable

Read that thread above.

Bought 10K Maniacs Unplugged in the dollar bin yesterday. Better than I remember it, and that is definitely the version of "Stockton Gala Days" to own. Too bad her cover of "Dallas" with David Byrne didn't make it on there.

So I have a soft spot for them and the Junkies, but I still have to vote for Edie Brickell, not so much for Rubberbands but for Ghost of a Dog, which was a severely underrated follow-up.

What's the best Cowboy Junkies album for the noise-dirge factor? Open?

Sundar, Sunday, 29 June 2008 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link

on balance i like the junkies best, but i think i like in my tribe more than any single junkies album.

For noise-dirge factor, I'd say Pale Sun, Crescent Moon, esp. the Dinosaur Jr cover.
