Poll: born after 1980

Except for dperr and boberts, who both came up with really good newer stuff.............

all the youngsters listed great shit. 

Shit I love the stuff that Jimmy Page did with the Bl. Crowes when they did live Led Zep songs....I'll be deaf in an hour.

Starting my jamming early tonight........Not sure whats going on with me.

Oh! Invited to 3 Dan Reed concerts accompanied by Daniel Lanois this Summer! Paris, Norway, etc. Seattle in May to meet Roger Fisher who "ran" Heart and Foreigner, along with Pamela Reed who sang some queensryche stuff.

Those 3 bands are not even on any of my 4000 Pod songs........I have 2 Heart songs, but Pam's solo shit was amazing, and Roger Fisher is a god as far as the music industry goes..........

I'm going have to try and not call him "sir"

Any y'all don't know those names...........google them.

Daniel Lanois was the producer and man that gave U2 depth and chemistry, real music after a very raw U2 "War" album with him giving those 4 kids in U2 from Ireland real direction....with "Unforgettable Fire" (reality is 2 were born in England).

Lanois was also the direction for their amazing "Joshua Tree" album.....

(saw both those tours)

Daniel Lanois also did Achting Baby.

He is the main factor that turned them kids (my age) (U2)  into superstars with Unforgettable and the Joshua Tree.

I really love Achtung Baby......(Zoo Station, Until The End Of the World, The Fly, and of course One)..........Jam session begins again with those three albums.

They sold their souls after that album........

I respect though, their humanitarian causes, but will never see them live again..........Oh, and that "Rattle and Hum" live album sucked.

A little known fact and trivia.......While "Boy" was pretty cool for a debut album, they really wanted "October" to be as good if not better than "War" was.....

All the lyrics and music were stolen from "October" 3 weeks before Bono and Edge were to and had to deliver as per contract to I believe Island Records at the time. U2 threw October together from memory in 3 weeks. Very impromptu, but that's what makes that album great......(In a Cat D-buh......Into the Heart, and many great tunes on that album that weren't studio, but "lets just make sure it gets to Island Records")

"Three Sunrises" is one of my fav tunes on that 4 song EP they put out in '84

"Wire" and "Surrender" on War are great...........

I don't go past Achtung baby......sold their souls..........



(off to pursue going deaf by headphones...... )

Screw it. I don't like what anyone has said to me since last August.Why hear it..Oh shit music! That would suck..

Shit. I have hardly jack from October in itunes........f#ck.

Fixing that immediately, but my two favorite songs on October mentioned above didn't come up.

Yeah, I know....Limewire is bad...Thats crap. Have your computer set up properly and no problems....They have made many improvements.

4000 songs....2-4 at a time , no problems, and I only put 2 albums of the 4000+

U2 "Red Light" from "War" is easy one of the coolest songs they ever did, and the song "unforgettable Fire" still can't get out of top 5.

I have too much Led Zep and older Joe Walsh in me....(Barnstorm ((fricking amazing)) , So What, and But Seriously Folks)

Those 3 U2 albums and War/October just get  me.......perhaps my age at the time.....No they were all great. All 5 of them.


"Red Light" from "War"......find it, download it. Trust me . You can't find it, I can drag it into an email with this crazy Apple Macbook.

"Wire" from "Unforgettable Fire" is a serious fricking great tune.......

Anyone I don't hate, I 'll get them to you. 

I just found and downloaded a Cat Dubh/into The Heart (they go together) both studio and live at Red Rocks in '83.


Holy Crap!

Holy shit! Never heard it live! My Lord.........

I almost went Led Zep or Yes (obscure shit) until this was so quickly downloaded............

Wow!

11 O'Clock Tick Tock from that same Red Rocks live stuff........

Great jam!

Electric. Co. also great.


Anyone really want to hear real U2, not that crap they do now, PM me......if I don't really dislike you, I'll burn a killer disc for ya......It only costs me a disc and $1.80...........At least you get great tunes.........

Went The Who.......love 'em.

Zep next or Yes.........very predictable , eh?

You're exactly what THEMUGG was talking about.  Those bands have some great musicians, but they aren't rock bands.  I would put Tom Morello up against any guitarist in any era and he'd definately hold his own.

Reppin the class of 1983. I listen to mostly hip-hop, but some of my fave bands/singers:

Petty & the Heartbreakers, Springsteen & E-Street Band, Jackson Browne, Cat Steevens, Neil Young, Smokey Robinson, Mellencamp, Van Morrison

I agree that almost everything made since the late-nintys has pretty much mostly been complete garbage, but some 'newer' bands i listen to:

Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse, Rancid, Motion City Soundtrack, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Planet Smahers, O.A.R, Dave Matthews Band, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, Offspring, Ben Harper, System of a Down

I might be forgetting some but I think that pretty much covers it..

Forgot about the 2nd part of the q, some memorable concert performances:

Tom Petty - 1st order of business as soon as I got my drivers liscense when I was 16: drive to detroit to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. This is, was, and likely will be my favourite concert ever.

John Mellencamp - I'm thankful he came to my city. I saw this show with my parents, dead sober, and was in complete awe the whole time. I love that dude, he should be president or something, every word he speaks is so powerful & true.

Miranda Lambert - Big fan of hers. Saw her in a small venue, front row center. Musically it was pretty good, but being pretty much directly underneath her close enough to touch for an hour & a half was really enjoyable.

Modest Mouse - Another small venue front row center situation. Being so close to Isaac Brock was surreal. He's a fascinating person.

Rage Against the Machine, Queens of the Stone Age, some other joke band I dont remember - Sucessfully snuck into Alpine Valley with no ticket to see this 1. God awful weather, but the huge storm made for some crazy mudslides on the lawn area. Not many girls, but the ones that were there were pretty much all wearing white t-shirts/tank tops and were covered in water/mud. The opening band sucked, Queens of the Stone Age really sucked, but to see Rage was such a treat.

Pearl Jam - Seen them 6 times. Eddy Vedder always makes me feel so inspired and happy, he's 1 of my heroes.

Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band - Comerica Park show. It 4 hours long, no opening band. They played for 2 hours, quick break, then encored for another 2. So high-energy I dont know how the whole band didnt collapse onstage. Amazing. It was also a Sunday night show, and earlier in that afternoon I saw my Vikings whoop the Lions at Ford Field across the street. Great day.

best rock-pop band = cure or prince
industrial-techno= front 242
punk=hmm...descendants, op ivy,
metal = cannibal corpse or cradle o filth
rap = public enemy, slick rick

John Mellencamp - I'm thankful he came to my city. I saw this show with my parents, dead sober, and was in complete awe the whole time. I love that dude, he should be president or something, every word he speaks is so powerful & true.

 I saw him @ The Gorge (George,WA)..........funny thing, I didn't wanna go.........caved in to wifey's demand & went with another couple. Turned out to be a damn good show...........maybe the biggest surprise concert I've seen next to Alice Cooper.

 You've got a pretty well-rounded mix there Shelby.......
