Greg's Posts ON TIME!

Jedediah Parish – 3.5
Cool name. Cool album. Just plain cool. I felt like I was in a different time listening to this cd. My favorite of the month, next to Pucifer.

Kate Nash – Made of Bricks – 3.5
I can’t help but picture Morrissey in a dress when I listen to this cd. I really like this disk too, but I found that it made better background music than a “play in my car to get me psyched to go out” cd. Dickhead was kind of different, I’m sensing a little anger here. All in all, I think I’ll keep it on when it shuffles through my iPod.

Thin Lizzy – Greatest Hits

Joe Ely – Letter to L. A. – 2.5
A little too bluesy for me and the mood I was in when I listened to it. Obviously a real talent, but I didn’t hear anything original enough to really blow me away. Best to listen to this in a bar where they serve only beer and whiskey.

Pucifer – V is for Vagina – 4
Maynard might be a little odd, but he’s diverse. I was hoping for something a little more Tool like, but was pleasantly surprised after listening to this cd a few times. Some of the songs drag on but I still listened.

Nirvana is given much credit for being revolutionary and changing music but were they. Did they in fact change anything and was it for the better. Please includes thoughts that include radio, live performances, and music business as a whole.
Yes! Maybe they had timing on their side, but all of the planets were aligned for Nirvana to get the acclaim they received. It could have been any band though, that’s why chance was such a factor. After the 80’s, a change was desperately needed and Nirvana was there to pick up the pieces. With that said, they were also a very talented group of guys. Not only was Dave Grohl a perfect fit as a drummer, but he’s an immense talent in general, I believe I read that his ideas weren’t readily accepted by Kurt Cobain. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that a million other bands could have taken place of Nirvana, but they were there when it counted.

And on a lighter note. What was the first song that you remember really liking. To us older folks I am guessing its an AM classic, because Ken I don't think Blood on the Tracks was the first song you latched on to.
Three songs for me that made me into the music lover I am today
Bridge over Troubled Waters – Simon & Garfunkel
Dance the Night Away – Van Halen
Dream Police – Cheap Trick
After that I can’t even tell you the number of songs that if I heard them today act as time machines for me.
