The Cure - "Mixed Up": Man, I hadn't listened to this in forever. A great selection of pre-1990 Cure hits remixed for my pleasure.

Fat Bob shoulda put out "Mixed Up 2" instead of that "Greatest Hits" crap.

01-18-2002, 12:46 PM

Incubus - Make Yourself - really good CD. Really really good CD. I just find it infinitely listenable, save for "Drive", which I get really tired of. "The Warmth" is one of my favorite songs ever. "Out From Under" rules too.

um... vast - music for people

yay me, i've never posted to this thread.

actually i just like all of the vast stuff i've heard, so i picked this one. it's just...so good. yeah. maybe dave could explain that better than me.

Nickelback - How you remind me
a song rather than an album but its fucking good!
I love it!
Creed -Weathered
is great too. (CD not song)

01-18-2002, 04:59 PM

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction - this really is a great album. All of the songs are good, and some are just plain great. It reminds me of doing the air guitar thing with Jen back when we were little, and singing "Sweet Child O' Mine" on the stairs like a little idiot. Plus, it's just good.

devo devo devo devo.
Pioneers that got scalped. The Anthology.
to be exact.
I seriously can't get this out of the cd player in my car.
They are seriously underrated, and the cover they did of "Head Like a Hole" is just superb, better than the original.
course, when not devo, then The Residents.

You are no longer welcome in my house. That is such a bullshit statement.

That's alright though. I know it. Even Andrea knows it. You can live in your little dream world.

cornelius · 01-19-2002, 02:50 PM

My little dream world? Hey, it's all a matter of personal opinion. I enjoy listening to the cover more than I do the real song. I think Devos version is more....interesting, to say the least.

Undertoad · 01-19-2002, 03:29 PM

I agree, DEVO wins every time. IMO the original was hardly the groundbreaking work it is supposed to be. Reznor didn't come up with the idea of distorting the vocal track, and the whole thing is one step away from being a "rock anthem" with its overly simple lyrics. The only difference is that it's drenched in nihilism instead of cock-sure charisma. That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it.

Maybe he came up with the idea, thought "this really sucks", and tossed it out the window. Devo, in their awful lack of taste, decided to regurgitate the original for a shitty soundtrack.

jeni · 01-20-2002, 12:33 AM

MY opinion on the whole 'head like a hole' devo cover subject...

thumbs down.

i just...wow, that is one of the worst songs i've ever heard in my entire life. talk about nonsense, thrown together CRAP. i mean of course this is just my opinion and...

chris, you're still just AS cool but...

ugh. i can't find the words.

01-20-2002, 01:30 AM

i think the words "awfully shitty" and "horrendous" are the ones i'd use.

01-24-2002, 01:24 PM

Tom Petty - Wildflowers - there's something about Tom Petty that I'll always dig. I saw him live back in '99 and what I expected to be a good concert turned out to be great. His music is awesome, and he's involved in some great projects - namely The Heartbreakers and The Traveling Wilburys. Good good stuff.

01-25-2002, 01:48 PM

Pearl Jam - No Code - Pearl Jam is still one of my favorite bands, even after some 11 years. They continually put out great music. It just really appeals to me.

This is definitely a good album. Their two best are, undoubtedly, "Ten" and "Vitalogy". However, that doesn't mean they're the only two worth owning. I got this for Christmas '96, and there are some songs on here that have just really stuck. Hard to pick a favorite, but I really dig "Mankind". As well as the rest of the album.

Alanis Mosisette - Under Rug Swept
Its growing on me, fast. I still perfer Jagged Little Pill though.
