There is some very very good music listed there. <BR/><BR/>I stand with you on Psalm 69, and that's why i'm asking, where are the seminal albums that aren't purest indie?<BR/><BR/>Tool's Aenimia and Kyuss's Welcome to Sky Valley are only the obvious examples of music that should stand up equally with the best of this stuff (personally I would stick in Sublime's 40 Oz to Freedom too), but it seems to have dropped off these lists. Is this place a smaller tent than I imagined?<BR/><BR/>Tool deserve more than bracketing off as metal, and i'm pretty sure you have the taste to know it. Jangly english guitar rock is not the only promised land.Edwin Hesselthwitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319408252029736001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1143231676384013722006-03-24T15:21:00.000-05:002006-03-24T15:21:00.000-05:00you put it well Jeff. don't get me wrong, i've be...you put it well Jeff. don't get me wrong, i've been buying everything they put out and i can't wait to see them again live.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429785851064692794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1143231459830983812006-03-24T15:17:00.000-05:002006-03-24T15:17:00.000-05:00placebo is one of those rare exceptions i make for...placebo is one of those rare exceptions i make for a band. the last record was questionable, what i've heard of meds is good, perhaps better than last... but in the end i'll soak up everything they're doing out of a general infatuation with their charisma... which they have more of in one average song than most bands do in an album's worth. <BR/><BR/>all those slightly alt-tuned jazzmaster chords and the manic snare/tom hits on the first record remind me of a nice time back in high school... solid choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1143200169509694382006-03-24T06:36:00.000-05:002006-03-24T06:36:00.000-05:00I agree, Placebo is a really great band, I'm a big...I agree, Placebo is a really great band, I'm a big fan of them as well, I had never heard of them until they had that song every me every you on the cruel intentions soundtrack, I was blow away by that song and picked up there cd's, I like just about all there songs, the new album Meds is pretty good too , :-)Jupiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540529903266137944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1143182616090864182006-03-24T01:43:00.000-05:002006-03-24T01:43:00.000-05:00the new one is pretty good!and Nancy Boy is such a...the new one is pretty good!<BR/><BR/>and Nancy Boy is such an immense song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1143123852866846962006-03-23T09:24:00.000-05:002006-03-23T09:24:00.000-05:00crap, you're right about "Pure Morning".

I still like the band, but their last few albums have been pretty wishy-washy hit-and-miss affairs. Nice song choices! I'm also a big fan of Bionic.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the "friend in need" song you're thinking of is "Pure Morning."The Trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334671583030695425noreply@blogger.com
