Weather Report

some good, some bad.

in it's unremarkableness beyond that: crap.

edit: also, this is where i heard the only not crap jaco playing. everything outside of this band is pretty crap.

Growing out of the "In a Silent Way" Miles Davis sessions, the first couple of albums are indespensible. On the other hand, if I have to listen to "Birdland" one more goddamn time there's gonna be more mall shootings.

Not Crap w/ lots of later period waffles.

Forecast: Partly Horrible with extended periods of Awful.

birdland rules.

Really- what in particular?
Do you feel that way about all music in this genre?

First album is really good, "I Sing the Body Electric" is amazing, after that they start getting poopy, little by little. Halfway into the Jaco era they were unlistenable already. "Mysterious Traveler" is a favourite from their fusiony world music period.

I like the early music enough to give it a "not crap".

what's next, acoustic alchemy?


CRAP.

Dammit, you beat me to this joke!

It looks as if you're really trying to sell your ignorance.

I'll try to make an analogy you can understand:
Acoustic Alchemy is to Weather Report
like
The Alan Parsons Project is to Queen

Try sticking to subjects exclusive to rock perhaps.
