Greg's Pre Vacation Reviews

Francis Dunnery – Tall Blonde Helicopter - 4
I didn’t like this at all….until I actually listen to it. He had a Matthew Sweet and even Cat Stevens sound, but not enough that I didn’t like him. This was a very easy cd to listen to. I needed a relaxing cd since I was just a little hung over when I listened to it. Really good stuff for a guy I’ve never even heard of. What’s with the title? This gets the coveted Greg's pick of the month award!
LLA Ices- Grown Unknown - 3
I have to say that I was hoping for a little bit more from this very hot chick. At least I think that she’s hot, she has a very suggestive thing in her mouth. As for her music. Unfortunately every song blended into the next and nothing stood out as being more than background drone. If I never heard of her I’d be okay with that, but if she popped up on my iPod I might not change her. Her voice is very beautiful and I wonder if she’s selling herself short doing the Sarah Brightman/Enya thing.
Ray Davies – See My Friends - 3.5
Since I like most of these songs to begin with, I liked these too. Who would have thought to Billy Corgan or Metallica with Ray Davies? It was a bit predictable when Metallica did You Really Got Me.
Sex Pistols – Never Mind The Bullocks – 4.5
I actually don’t own any fucking Sex Pistols cds, but I’ve liked every fucking thing I’ve heard by them. This was actually a disk I’ve fucking wanted for a long time. I believe that it will change my fucking life.
Mumford and Sons- Sigh No More - 4
I first heard these guys on XM and thought that they were nothing but a Dave Matthews rip off (shut up Mike), these guys are both a wicked downer and a blast at the same time. I don’t like the fact that they don’t have a drummer, just this rinky dink bass drum and a tambourine, but it seems to work pretty well. This is nothing but drinking music. If you aren’t someplace where you can get a beer or a shot then don’t listen to it.
Ghits -Funkadelic
Not my thing. I’m sure that there’s a shitload of talent going on here, but for me it was just shy of completely annoying.
Each member must explain their criteria for a YES vote.
Are they a household name? Have they had any measurable impact or influenced other artists that are in the HOF?
