Lol. My wife hates that I like and occasionally wear patchouli. Reminds me of a band out of Nashville in the 80s, The White Animals, if anybody remembers them (? @cbo)-damn they were good. Here’s one of my favorite Strings: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger friend of mine went to a different Isbell/Ryman show and said "it was great, the crowd was standing the entire time." I said "that's cool" while thinking "My God, that's awful why would they do that there are perfectly good seats." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,682 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Admittedly, I’ve struggled with how I think I should feel about John Mayer. That said… This. Dude. Can. Play. The. Damn.

Hard to be too critical because that’s probably true of a lot of us. His has been because he’s enjoying just being famous and hooking up with hot chicks so I’m especially understanding, lol Edited October 30, 2021 by fredst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 8,066 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I just listened to OK Computer for the first time in a while and, in case anyone was wondering, it is still one of the greatest albums of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude….now you’ve done it. We’ll have a couple of pages of Radiohead talk now. I was a huge REM fan back in the day, saw them in Birmingham in 1995; the opening act : Radiohead. Freakin’ awesome concert even though Radiohead wasn’t really familiar to me at the time (I kinda knew “The Bends”). My wife is never sure what to make of it and my girls roll their eyes but I love playing this song for my wife: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bends is a perfect guitar rock album. And then they went on to do some other pretty cool stuff, huh?

Really cool how their sound evolved over time. "In Rainbows" is honestly my favorite album to just listen to but I really like most everything they've put out. "OK" is a very close second. Having said that, Thom Yorke is one weird dude lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Kid A was my into to the band. (Fair to say Creep doesn't count?) Probably not what many would think of as a gateway album. It coincided with my Monk & Mingus phase. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought: They had one kinda interesting song “Creep” then a great album in “The Bends”. If you got to Radiohead through Kid A…..good on you, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavericks are one of those bands for me where I like what I've heard, I know it's a cool band up my alley, but for whatever reason, I haven't dug in. Thanks for the reminder.
