But did they high 5 you back, or just leave you hangin'?

I would never qualify a "left hanging" as a high five. What sort of monster do you take me for.

 

[bdrummond]

Wouldn't an unfulfilled high 5 either be a wave or a slap (depending on if contact was made)?

I feel like the importance and popularity of the Byrds is lost on a lot of people these days. They were the really the first folk rock band and really the first people to take Beatles and British Invasion rock and meld it with American folk music. Lots of genres and bands were spawned from them. Big part of the whole 60s sunset strip/Laurel Canyon scene too. in the very least, the 12 string genius of Roger mcGuinn is worth it alone for a lot of their stuff.

Fifth Dimension is fun because John Coltrane inspired Roger McGuinn to do some wild stuff with lots of notes crammed into tight spaces on the solos.

I certainly don’t deny their importance in modern music, just never really clicked for me. Maybe I’ll give ‘em another try sometime soon.

I really wish someone would gather up all five issues of Grand Royal Magazine and release it as a hardbound book. I would pay $100 for a copy without thinking twice.

That reminds me that their name started out as “B.E.A.S.T.I.E. Boys” the really dumb acronym for “Boys, Entering Anarchistic States Towards Inner Excellence”…uhh Boys.

I'd like to add Kendall Roy in the opening scene of Succession to this list.

LOL! It’s certainly better than his rap at is Pop’s birthday party.

L to the OG is a classic, but this is the only thing I can think of when I hear this song now. He at least punches the seat on beat.

So pretty easily confirmed that the ‘82 album is Nebraska, cut at half speed by Barry Grint.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the placement of Y on this list!

Is the B definitely for artists? Seems like a long shot but maybe a quick Pharcyde one-two and they picked Bizarre Ride?

Not sure where the B came from, but Black Monk Time for '66 would work if it's album names

 

[Viking Dan]

Yeah, It’s better than it had any right in being considering all that was going on with Yauch around the time of its release.

There are also some Mike D verses that are next level.

That would be a crazy essentials pick but I would support it.
