Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

It might have been a wig?!? For a while at least...

If you go back and watch the Mr. Jones video one could argue that those dreads are extensions.
Look, I’m not going to lie. There was a short time that I was obsessed with calling Adam out for not embracing his outer baldness. I was even banned from their FB page for a short time for doing that. I wasn’t mean about it and it’s a badge that I hold close to my heart.
For the record, I loved their first 3 albums.

Steven Hyden is the fucking best - can't wait to read the Radiohead book he's working on.

Steven Hyden is the fucking best - can't wait to read the Radiohead book he's working on.

Yeah, I first came across Hyden when he wrote the Whatever Happened to Alternative Nation? series for AV Club. And then followed him to Grantland and now UpRoxx and his books. I definitely enjoy the everyman/suburban dad qualities of his music writing and music taste. Not as much as his writing, but I also enjoy his Celebration Rock podcast too. And apparently he just did a podcast about Woodstock 99 for Luminary?

Just letting everyone know I'm taking all of the Counting Crows hate 100% personally

How about Counting Crows indifference?

I wasn't a fan of Counting Crows. Then I saw them play live. I liked them after that. The end.

His book about the classic rock era was fantastic, especially the chapters about Phish and the Styx/Boston/REO Speedwagon corporate rock.

August and everything after is an awesome record, it's not the mainstream hits that make it that way either for me, this album gets exceptionally better after the first 3 tracks. Jmo, it's not alt rock, though.

Anyone know if pressing info was announced? Curious if this is just a coloured reissue of the 2010 LITA Version done at United... (Jim Sullivan)

As per storfs reddit ama "new lacquers cut at elysian from the same master, which stems from a high quality needle drop."

None of you feel the euphoria of hearing "MISSTER JONES and me" at max volume that I feel?


I always get this group and Blues Traveler mixed up. Run Around is a top 10 bop of all time!

Also one of the finest music videos ever made

When I googled my now-wife after our first date, her only online presence was her account on a Counting Crows fansite.

Married her immediately.

Moby was real Electronica, Queen was hard rock and Jim Sullivan was psych rock. Counting Crows confirmed.

So there's a chance it's Texas' "The Hush".

 

[Joe Mac]

He cut his hair recently. So that makes him more tolerable.

That cover of Big Yellow Taxi though. The idea of nuclear Armageddon sounds more appealing than ever having to hear it again...

My Queen records (II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, and The Works) are definitely in the hard rock section of my collection...

Yes please!

I like their singles, but The Hush in particular is a nice album to play when getting laid.
