If I recall correctly, Mingo Fishtrap will be here for Oyster Bake Saturday night...of course I'll be glued to the Reckless Kelly stage, but if I see you I'll wave!

:lol

[Brodels]

The brodel is the nazz...

[Trooper 2112]

San Antonio is like Rick Emmitt and Triumph central. And he knows it. One of the most energetic performances I have ever seen. It was also badass he wore a duncan Jersey last time he came. One of my favorite live bands. My alltime fav live is IRON MAIDEN FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

[Trooper 2112]

As the years went by, Green DAy got worse. I can't stand thier new shit. It's all I hear everywhere. I loved thefirst album and Dookie though.

[Spurminator]

Green Day is in their prime right now. American Idiot is one of the best mainstream rock albums of the last ten years.

I think a lot of people are missing out on it because of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" which has been grossly overplayed on the radio and is probably the worst song on the entire album.

[MannyIsGod]

I agree Spurm. I've only given the entire album a few spins, but all in all it's a great concept album and I think they've gotten better with age.

[travis2]

Pretty much all over the road...

ABBA
Boston
Chicago
Def Leppard
ELO
Foreigner
Rush
Zebra

[xcoriate]

Anberlin - No shit Alvarez, got their CDs they kicks ass.

Hmm guess I'll make a list then, however its pretty spontanious, mainly the stuff I'm listening to now however and I'm sure I missed plenty.

Sorry for double post.


Glory punk days?? Those were over in the 80's. The beginning of Green Days' career was the rigormortis setting in on the "glory days" of punk. Everything after them that claimed to be punk was just poppunk crap!

That being said, I also like Green Day's album, while I dont think its totally punk I like the music and lyrics. I also dont put it into my hated poppunk category because its not stupid blink or NFG or new charlotte crap and the fact that they stuck with their political agenda proves that they arent just commercial rubbish as the aforementioned "bands" are.

[Spurminator]

Has anyone ever seen Umphrey's McGee?

I saw them last night in Dallas. Sick show. Think Phish mixed with a hint of metal.

They'll be in Austin this weekend.

Wow, that is uninformed. Like Blink 182 could write a punk rock opera based around a cast of characters and how they fit in and deal with the way there country is run and things that happen in it. Green Day evolved from being angry young teens/adults singing about being bored, hating the world, masturbation being boring and getting stoned, into a band able to do what I just talked about above and creating one of the best rock albums in recent memory. A concept album at that. You talk about them being commercial or whatever, is it there fault American Idiot and Boulevard were hits? The songs fit into a larger product, the album, which is just like one big song. To judge a band on there singles (in Green Day's case, those 2 happen to be the 2 worst stand alone songs on the album, but like I said when its listened through as one song, they are good) is pathetic.

To say they are commercial rubbish is one of the most stupid things I have read on this message board, get a clue. Sure, it's ok to not like there Music, but you have to know that they aren't commercial rubbish and to compare them to Blink 182 is like me comparing the Chilli Peppers to Maroon 5. A disgrace.

[nzkickass]

SHIHAD

You'll need to download / buy these guys album.

Great songs by them are

- Home Again
- Run
- The General Electric
- Walls
- Wait and see

.... they have so many great songs

just download 1 or 2 and see if you like them. (im sure you will)

[cqsallie]

In the past:
Queen (the greatest band on the face of the earth and dissed by Rolling Stone in its recent 500 greatest songs issue)
Styx (also dissed by RS, but who can forget "Sailing Away?"
ELO (Telephone Line, Mr. Blue Sky, et al)
The Stones (Satisfaction, Jack Flash, hard to name them all)
Derek and the Dominoes (the original Layla, with Jim Gordon's gorgeous piano bridge)
Eric Clapton (although SBC seems determined to make me learn to hate him due to the overkill in their commercials)
Jimi Hendricks (nuttier than a fruitcake and doped to the max at Woodstock I)
Janis Joplin (all of the above and more)
Bob Marley and the Wailers (reggae, mon! Can you drink that red, red wine?)
The Beatles (but they got really stale after awhile)
John Lennon on his own (Imagine is an anthem for our times)
REO Speedwagon (just because of that goofy drummer with the cigarette dangling from his mouth)
REM (also now - weird and wonderful. Losing My Religion still gets me)
U-2 (also now - Bono Rules)
Springsteen (the energy and drive of Bruce and the E-Street Band amazes me)
Billy Joel (especially all the great drinking songs like Cap'n Jack and Piano Man)
Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers (only a couple years ago, wasn't it. Where are they now?)
Carlos Santana - if you don't know that's Santana from the first chords, you've been living in a cave!
Currently:
Maroon 5 (Songs About Jane hasn't been in the top 100 for two years for no reason, eh?)
Matchbox 20 (sounds stupid, because they're really no longer a group)
Hoobastank (The Reason video just floored me)
Green Day (American Idiot just strikes a note)
Gwen Stephani (LAMB and the cool take on the Japanese girl entertainers is great. Also loved her as Jean Harlow in The Aviator)
The Arcade Fire (loopy, overwhelmingly musical, coupled with on-stage hi-jinks - listen to the CD "Funeral" and become an immediate fan.
Bright Eyes (two CDs - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn)
Monte Montgomery (an Austin artist who plays the sweetest guitar ever and writes some really insightful songs).
The Flaming Lips (Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, from whence the great medium-sized hit, Do You Realize?)
Elwood (comes and goes, but this group's cover of Sundown is positively fabulous)

I could probably list about a hundred more... Music is my passion and the one thing that really pisses me off is that we're caught in a Top-40 format and we have to really search for the new and different. Our airwaves are ruled by teeny-boppers. How many times did you hear "Mr. Lonely" today? Usher, Eminem (who I grudgingly like every once in awhile), 50 Cent, The Game, Ludacris, Nelly...

[cqsallie]

In the past:
REO Speedwagon (just because of that goofy drummer with the cigarette dangling from his mouth)...
CORRECTION:
I mean to say Cheap Trick (with the goofy drummer)!
I also left out DMB and anything written by Andrew Lloyd Webber - Evita, Phantom, Cats. Just purely eclectic tastes. Also Willy Nelson and early George Strait.
What the hell! Music is music! What's not to love... :elephant

Well, if you want variety and have extra money to spare, I say get XM cause you'll get your fix on their alternative stations. Believe me!!
