I have never been able to listen to a Byrds' album in its entirety. "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" in particular is totally boring. I've never understood it's "masterpiece" status - it sounds identical to any number of country albums from the same period. -- Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, October 13, 2004 10:24 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Link

I've never gotten what's quite so special about "When Doves Cry". It's a good song and all, but it's never struck me as mindblowingly brilliant or anything.

I would probably vote indie, a lot because of the fans, but it's been stuck together with alternative, of which there is a lot that I like. That being said, I've pretty much come to the conclusion at this point that there is good stuff in every genre, and it's unfair to dismiss things out of hand, but honestly (and I realize this isn't going to be a popular opinion), I wouldn't be sad at all if I never heard a hip-hop song again.

he is probably correct that his opinion will not be popular. he is also probably correct that he wouldn't be sad at all.

nukes are not the answer. insanely costly, impossible to clean up, incredibly dangerous. saying its "better" than greenhouse gas emitting technologies is like saying getting shot in the head is better than being decapitated.

How the NYU Retirement Plan Works • NYU contributes 10% of your base annual salary. • You must contribute a minimum of 5% of your base annual salary.
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
so they match double but i put in ANOTHER 5% so I'm putting in 10% and getting 20% effectively

Sapat = Krautrock + Blonde Redhead + free jazz + Royal Trux
3 outta four ain't bad! And the song that reminds me of Blonde Redhead is actually one of the best songs on the album. Tom L needs to be signing more bands like this and less like Psychedelic Horseshit.
