to say Nirvana is overrated is ridiculous. even if you don't like their music, that band pretty much single handedly changed rock music for the better. they put an end to the cheezy 80's cock rock bullshit and put the emphasis back to guitar driven rocknroll, and inspired a grip of kids to start playing music. their impact was monumental and i miss them. |

|
|
| jb |
You like him...he is a very nasty SOB who has 2 goods songs IMO...Brown Eyed Girl and Have I told you lately that I love you(as song by Rod Stewart)...I don't care for that other one about 'Moonlight"? |
|
|
| glencar |
What about "Cleaning Windows"? He has many good songs. Yes, he's an ass as I've heard from many Irishmen. But he can still write & sing. I saw him in concert a few years back & he does seem to...coast. But isn't the Who doing that 2 decades running now? |
|

| glencar |
BTW Josh, I agreed with twice on the other board. It's good we have this one area of disagreement left. |
|
|
| jb |
WE agree on the Beatles....The Who was really very innovative and we tend to overlook their greatness b/c of their numerous "final tours"..Nonetheless, they kicked the Stones asses both times on "Rock-n-Roll Circus" and the 9/11 concert. |
|
|
| glencar |
The Circus? Maybe but I really liked the Stones in that too. They did shit in the 9-11 concert. Daltrey's voice was poor. He really should hang it up post-haste! |

Van ain't overrated. The man is a master of R&B/soul and maybe some rock and jazz thrown in. He is simply brilliant and it's no wonder, jb, that those are the only songs of his you like. They're his only two big hits. His lesser hits are better. And these songs are all rock classics of the era:
"Gloria," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Mystic Eyes," "Here Comes the Night" (all with Them, a very Stonesy bad ass mid-60s group he had) as well as "He Ain't Givin' You None," "Astral Weeks," "Sweet Thing," "The Way Young Lovers Do," "And it Stoned Me," "Moondance," "Crazy Love," "Caravan," "Come Running," "Brand New Day," "Domino," "Blue Money," "If I Ever Needed Someone," "Wild Night," "Tupelo Honey," "Old Old Woodstock," "Jackie Wilson Said," "Gypsy," "I Will Be There," "St. Dominic's Preview," "Listen to the Lion" (breathtakingly good, kind of like the hushed ending of "Moonlight Mile"), "Warm Love," "You Don't Pull No Punches But You Don't Push the River," "Kingdom Hall," "Hungry for Your Love," "Full Force Gale," "Angeliou," "Bright Side of the Road," "It's All in the Game" and many more in the 80s ad 90s that were awesome. Check this shit out, it's great if you love soul music and folk-jazz stuff.
I agree about the Who though. Seeing my Christmas bestowed DVD of The Kids Are Alright reminds me why I love rock n' roll so much. The Stones don't have a definitive documentary chronichling their career but they stand for longevity, rowdiness, bawdy behaviour and pride like the old blues masters while the Who were destructive, restless, energetic and living for the moment in the spirit of punk kind of.

But, but, but what about 25X5? Yes, it's NOW dated but it was definitive up till that point. And certainly Gimme Shelter showed the band at its peak. |

And good points about Van the Man. |

He does drink a lot of it. But it also makes them funny & quite interesting. They don't get all quiet & brooding like some idiots. |

You need a new song
I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don't take me too long
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old
My fingers kill me as I play my guitar
'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails
My hairline ain't exactly superstar
But there's one thing that never fails
This never fails
I write the same old song with a few new lines
And everybody wants to cheer it
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
Admit you really want to hear it
Whenever I see you
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man
Just 'cause I please you
You explain, but you don't think I can understand
My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul
Nothing really ever changes my friend
New lamps for old
