Tortoise, Polvo and their ilk sound to me like Weather Report minus the chops.

I called bullshit on vinyl about 10 years ago.
You can't drive 55 rockin' out to a 10"

I actually like "Raygun...Naked Raygun"

I don't get The Smiths and don't understand why Johnny Marr is considered a brilliant guitarist.

I've sold back Fugazi "Repeater" twice but have never considered selling back Gentle Giant's "Free Hand".

I don't want to watch a live band if I'm not familiar with their music.

Indie-lite ala Feist makes me want to smoke crack and listen to GG Allen.

i own two different Split Enz greatest hits CDs.

i used to have a crush on Lisa Germano.

Shiina Ringo makes me weak in the knees and big in the crotch.

Pere Ubu's Dub Housing, although lionized ad nauseam by many smart people, was actually a tremendous falling-off from the material they had previously recorded, and, although there are three or four pretty neat songs on it, the rest of the album modulates between bland dinky-dink and unlistenable "experimentation".

If one more band forms with the word "wolf" in its title, your ass is grass.

Agreed.

"In general" being the key clause, though. Sometimes live shows can be incredible. But those are becoming increasingly few and far between.

This whole thread is really a bummer.

I love music, I really do.
