QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Robert Hunter was the Dead's lyricist, very much in the vein of John/Taupin. Mad props to Brian Wilson though. John and Paul get my nod for top dogs in the rock songwriting arena, but honerable mentions must include: – Elvis Costello – Aimee Mann – Carole King – Andy Partridge (xtc.) – Zappa – Todd Rundgren I'm thinking primarily of the lyrical content of their songs, but none of these guys are slouches in the musical composition side of things either. i didn't think garcia wrote, but i was thinking it was bob weir who wrote it...good call though...and good call to whoever said the kinks lead singer, and last but not least...I heart Pavement.

i was also gonna say don't forget about george harrison... but it seems a little lacking in current songwriters... and even old ones... Elliot Smith and Ian Curtis have always struck me as just phenominal, love will tear us apart is just grrrrreat. Morrissey i've loved as a songwriter BRIAN WILSON...Jerry Garcia was NOT that great of a songwriter...he has his moments, but their music did not rely on their lyrics brian wilson is a definate... also scott walker and billy corgan... and a personal favorite but not really gonna be considered...Stephen Malkmus

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) I thought when Chris entered the A-ha video in the Lois being a klepto episode was the best thing I've seen on Family Guy. Flat out unbelievable. that was what i was gonna comment on...that was ridiculously clever and funny.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) It was on ESPN ... at least, it was here in Kentucky. espn was showing espn news...so i checked comcast, wgn and the u... no dice...plus i have no radio at home... but who cares the white sox took 2 outta 3 from those beautiful pinstripes...and left torre to get apparantly lambasted by da boss

how come i had to watch espn news for updates for 2 hours...was this on? why am i not of acceptable intelligence to find a basebal game on.

QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) For some reasons I thought both Deal sisters were in the Pixies. My bad. no love lost...i was pointing out that if there was ever an everyman in music...all three of them would be poster boys.

my ACT allowed me to get to virtually every school i wanted to ... of course, i didn't apply to that many extremely hard schools...but mizzou really called to me, they were the only one taht actively pursued me it seemed. They sold me their school...

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:09 AM) Firefox I heart my powerbook...safari kicks ass

i can't imagine any of the other pixies getting mistaken for a female...well, maybe black francis for being pregnant...but thats part of their charm...

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) No mention of Sleater-Kinney? I think they qualify, no? oh my goodness...good call, i love their latest album...since the night the fox was booorn he...bad ass

i'm leaving for mizzou for my first year in a week...i'm really excited...i'm gonna major in journalism, i'm pretty sure i'll go into print, but i might end up getting a communications major.

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:43 AM) Yesss... Aeroplane i don't know what caused me to put in in the aeroplane over the sea again...but i haven't taken it out

I'm in a jeff mangum fix right now... so i'm going to college a week from monday to the university of mizzou...and i'm gonna miss going to shows badly, KC has some great shows coming up but it appears the only way i can get there is through greyhound bus...and i wouldn't be able to make it back in the morning ever for class...it suckkkks

bikini kill and le tigre...

well, Okkervil river has an eclectic blend of instruments on their albums ala the decemberists, but they have very dark lyrics, and some really great songs. For real and black are my two favorites off of black sheep boy.

i do get tired of the media coverage of this... i have no idea what is the standards for making a specific kidnapping or murder a sexy case for the media... although it usually has to do with them being a young white female. (peterson trial, holloway, jean benet ramsey)

rarely do i laugh so hard at typed out humor

why are they protesting soldiers death?

i think takk is a norwegian phrase for thanks...i could be wrong... their lyrics are nothing more then another instrument as far as i'm concerned.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) Robert "Douchebag of Liberty" Novak seems to have completely melted down on CNN today during an interview on Inside Politics. Here is the video. During a friendly exchange with James Carville (Carville laughing) The host followed up with this as a post script. Presumably, Mr. Novak was once again "seething at the lack of fresh puppy blood in his mini-fridge." as old as i am i still get shocked when adults use the word bulls***

QUOTE(Cali @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) I can't pronounce half the words used in this thread. they are icelandic...which is...norwegian i believe...

i don't know what to say except...i like the album and it leaked.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) I've had live bootlegs for the last three weeks, and this is probably their worst album judging on half the songs. Von was better than this. But then again Von had Hún Jörð, which is fabulous. Edit: I'll probably give a listen to Göng and Glosloli because they're on the upcoming single. I'll wait until 9/12 to hear the rest of it. Until then, my OiNK ratio is gonna go through the f***ing roof. while milano is too long there is no f'n way that, NO F'n way that von is better than this...gong and glosoli are great and the live bootlegs were fantastic. in my opinion its aguetis byrjun > takk > () >>> von

its good, real good...i'm not ready to give it up to AB...i still think thats their best due to untitled 8 alone...but this is good, gong is my favorite...due to this being the first leak i'm sure the album prolly sounds better...

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) Dave Matthews Band is my favorite. However, they are nowhere near as good as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Stones, Bob Dylan, and Hendrix. Hell you can't even classify Dave Matthews Band's music, sometimes it's jazz, sometimes its rock, it just shifts from who's instrument is most prominent. classified as : lifestyle music
