I am overthinking. The shorty Phife-dog is your favorite MC.

You two had better watch it. I'm serious.

Yeah. I got it when I put the two together instead of thinking about your rank and location separately. Together, the next line is beyond obvious.

Explaining why I wouldn't listen to post-Gabriel Genesis, well... that's pretty fucking easy.

That's how I feel about the Stones. I want to like them, but can't listen to them. I do enjoy listening to others cover their songs.

And I second The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I was playing it last night while downloading from iTunes.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found some new material last night. My googling efforts have turned up this website Secondhand Songs, a database of cover tunes. It's not 100% accurate but does provide an easy way to uncover some gems. At least it's not as frustrating as that other time suck, Weffriddles.

If anyone is interested, I'll post my final playlists. PM me if you're interested in a swap. (If I haven't met you IRL I reserve the right to veto said swap.)

Screaming Trees were a really good band. They were the middle band (after Tad) at Soundgarden's record release show for Loud Love. Great show. Do you have Soundgarden's SST release (Ultramega OK)? Great noise. Wtf ever happened to Kim Thayil?

I don't understand ranking Let it Bleed and Sticky above Exile. They may have better individual songs, but nothing comes together as a whole like Exile.

Mark Lanegan's great. ST should have been a headliner. Alas, they had the unfortunate luck to be a very ugly, fat group (except for the wraithlike Lanegan). Thus, limited commercial success.

A guitar playing friend always said Thayil was way underrated.

Exile has peaks, but it has ruts, and its production's for shit. Let it Bleed doesn't have a single bad song (even Country Honk has a charm to it). It's shorter, you're right. But its better, IMO (if there's a more apocalyptic sounding opening to a song than Gimme Shelter, I haven't heard it). Parts of that album are like someone managed to distill violence to sound and groove it into vinyl. It's blues, it's heavy metal, its scuzzy drug rock with a touch a psychedlia... and its got the London Bach Choir.

Sticky Fingers... Again, pound for pound, better than exile. Except for "You Got to Move," its a flawless record. CYHMK has possibly the most perfect riff ever written. The album never falls from its peak. After an early slew of nasty dead ahead shit - Bitch, Brown Sugar... - it goes mellow and ends with a real sweet arrangement on Moonlight Mile.

I love Exile, but whenever I hear it, I'm always left feeling like I'm hearing outtakes for LIB and SF. But, hey, its just pop music... YMMV, and I can easily see your case.

You don't have to explain. I own more than one King Crimson album and I understand that puts me in a corner, if not on a special bus.

But let me state for the record I don't own any other Genesis albums, pre-or post Gabriel. No ELP, no Yes, no Gentle Giant. Ok? Ok.

Indeed, just hours ago someone added the gem that is Tiffany's remake of "I Think We're Alone Now."

Favorite 90's album is probably REM's Automatic for the People.

Favorite all-time. Jeez. That's hard. Bruce's Greetings from Asbury Park, Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, The Who's Quadrophenia, Gabriel Plays Live. One of those, I think. Until I change my mind.

I knew that already. It's kinda implied from other tidbits.

Or maybe you told me when you were incoherently falling into your third gin...

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary...

One of my all-time faves.

I am decidedly NOT an opera fan, but I was shocked when I heard about this this morning on the radio. I was shocked! Shocked, I say.

Storming off stage in the middle of Aida seems like something a soprano should do, not the tenor.

Maybe he and Michael Richards should form some sort of heckler victim support group?
