After all, my enthusiasm will never come close to matching these people.

Besides, I have never been that excited to drink a beer.

many years ago i was at a samples show and they pulled my then gf up on stage and they drank whiskey with her.

The Samples are forever going to be caught between obscurity and some sort of relative fame, it seems.

Horrible band of hippie dirtbags. A buddy of mine was roommates with some of them for years. A bunch of junkies.

Ned is OTM. and i was one of those beer drinking tirds in the front row ten years ago. Hey i was a college student, what do you want.

Looks like they have some cute sorority neo-hippie wookette fans tho'.

Heh, I first heard about them when I came to UCI for grad school and I was wondering about seeing all these albums of theirs in the school record store. DB, who worked there at the time, enlightened me.

they bring back some good memories for me, but i wouldn't listen to them on a regular basis anymore. maybe once a year.

this thread is making me want to vomit. i probably played lacrosse in high school with many of the girls in those pictures.

That song "Little Silver Ring" remains a major guilty pleasure of mine.

I am so glad I've never heard the Samples.

scene, during college:
dad: hey have you heard of this band the samples?
me: ...
dad: have you heard of them? are they any good?
me: ...
dad: are they christian or something?
me: hahaha
dad: they're really bad aren't they.
me: yup.
