  1. Wish You Were Here is a top 10 album for me, in large part due to being a tribute to Syd. As for Syd, I will take Barrett and especially The Madcap Laughs over most early Floyd albums.
  2. Physical Graffiti is my fav LZ…. high school years, good times.
  3. Yeah, Joshua Tree really turned me off to them, very overrated with tons of filler and I didn’t care for the hits either. After that, I’ve only liked some songs. First time I saw them was the War tour in Shea’s Buffalo, incredible show, I was under the balcony and thought it was going to crash from people jumping up and down. Achtung Baby in retrospect was pretty good, but I had stopped following them by then, band full of t* ats.
  4. I tend to agree now about the Beatles later stuff, but I was 4 when they first broke and just loved them. Later when I was 7, I was like what the hell is this weird sh##? What happened to my band? That only lasted a couple years though, I got a little older and saw the light.
  5. Yes, Neil has never gived 2 f###s, he does what he wants to do. I do like Reactor though, it rocks pretty hard, though I did like it a lot more back when it came out. I saw him on the solo Trans tour, that was something.
  6. Fleetwood Mac: Rumours is a top 10 album for me, and I also love ":Fleetwood Mac". The earlier blues era is very good, but I just don't play it compared to the big 2. Tusk was a major disappointment, never into them after that. Rolling Stones: my favs until they morphed into the Vegas Stones with the Steel Wheels tour & album. Springsteen: 1978 thru 1981 tours. BITUSA has some great songs, but the tour while great felt like he was selling out, and I loathe Tunnel Of Love. Still capable of putting on great concerts, but he's a total clownshow as a person these days. AC/DC: Back In Black is a great album, but in general, no Bon Scott, no sale. The Band: only when they're backing Dylan. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: only when they're backing Dylan. Bowie: Jumped the shark for me with Tonight/Never Let Me Down. Elvis Costello: LOVE the 1st 3 albums, lost interest after that. LZ: love everything studio, live stuff best when Plant could still wail. Prince: great album every summer until Batman. Talking Heads: everything until Little Creatures. U2: all downhill after Boy. Neil: made a comeback for me in the late 80's/early 90's, but honestly all downhill after Live Rust (maybe Reactor). Dylan: early folk era = zzzzzzzz, 65-66 incredible, 74-78 next best.
  7. These tweets don’t mean anything to me, I will feel better the next time I see Josh playing.
  8. Here’s to Diggs going off against his old team, 3TDs plz.
  9. For who’s been mentioned: Floyd: I’m not a fan of The Final Cut, so I will say anything up to & including The Wall. Rush: everything up to & including Permanent Waves. Geddy’s gotta wail. Beatles: all great. After the split, only POB, Imagine, and All Things Must Pass. Some Macca & Ringo songs. Dead: 60’s and 70’s. Some of the new Dead songs after that they added to rotation are mediocre. Who: gotta have Keith Moon.
  10. Yes, that’s one of the things that I have had to work on: no one’s opinion is ever wrong. All my takes in this thread & elsewhere are only my opinion and nothing more.
  11. That song's OK, but this is the only 'Til Tuesday I listen to:
  12. Yes, a great live show (not a big fan of the studio stuff). He's 3rd on my most-seen behind the Stones and Dylan.
  13. I agree that Thunder Road is Springsteen's best, but not with the hillbilly twang and not in the OP zzzzzzz and certainly not in the studio. 1978 thru 1981 with full E-Street Band is the show-stopper ticket for me, gotta have the Big Man.
  14. I'm not saying the other material by these 2 isn't any good, but this is all I ever need to hear:
  15. Guilty pleasure, 2 songs but played as one. I like them both except for the parts when Steve Perry is singing,.
  16. RIP to a great NFL player & great Boilermaker.
  17. Never should’ve let Sammy get away.
  18. Not the best, but my top 2 favs are Dirty Harry and Gimme Shelter, no idea how many times I’ve seen them but a lot.
  19. RIP Ray, the GOAT of punters, and 3 rings isn’t too shabby.
  20. Nice weather Sunday night, and Josh struggled against the Packers. Maybe he plays better when it’s nasty outside, good thing the new stadium doesn’t have a dome.
  21. Don’t forget Goodell.
