re: SOUNDGARDEN - “Down On The Upside”

I was unemployed when that album came out, so I didn't get a copy of it until a year or two later. I liked Pretty Noose when it came out, but it's kinda hard to listen to now - half the time I skip that one. Rhinosaur is a great song. It's a solid album, but it's no Badmotorfinger or Superunknown....
Ratings talk is a pet peeve of mine. Unless you are a big shot with ESPN or a major advertiser, who gives a frick? LSU makes the national championship game, I’m going to love it, even if I’m the only person watching. ...
People pass along all kinds of silly MCU rumors to drive traffic. There was some clown who said Tom Cruise was going to have a cameo in the last Doctor Strange movie as Tony Stark. ...
Like Faith No More, Living Colour also helped smooth the way for grunge. They rocked, but they weren't hair metal and they were a little outside of the mainstream - I haven't listened to them in years, but I remember really digging their second and third albums. The third record got slept on becaus...

re: Why is STP so underrated?

They were initially seen as a Pearl Jam rip-off and they didn't come from a hip label or a big scene. (I looked down on them as only a 21-year-old could) But they stuck around and made good records. Scott Weiland's drug problems probably also kept them from getting the props they should. They were s...
GNR - they were a lot grittier and dirtier than the average hair metal band that had weak rockers and sappy ballads. Plus, they wore punk influences on their sleeves. ...
I was really in to 11. That was a great album. I think one of the reasons they are forgotten is grunge just kind of overwhelmed those second tier college radio bands. ...

You would have thought in the past 15-20 years they would have stepped up - Austin becoming a huge city kind of c...
Otis Redding would have thrived in the 70s. Lush soul music, deep funk, socially conscious R&B, early disco - he could have done it all. ...

I'm a big fan of the Sip & Feast guy. There's a baked mushroom and spinach pasta dish he did that my wife and I have made a couple of times. He had a shrimp, lemon and orzo dish I want to make....

re: the Kinks are vastly underrated

Posted by timbo on 5/14/24 at 7:42 pm
There’s an argument that “You Really Got Me” and “All Day And All of the Night” have proto-metal riffs, and there’s the distortion. There’s a reason why Van Halen covered the first song…....

My wife bought me a bottle of Japanese barbecue sauce from Red Stick Spice that I plan to soon use on wings. It's savory, not sweet at all, and has some heat....

Hell, I'm not a Bush fan by any means, but Greedy Fly is just a great sounding record. He really knew how to make guitars and drums sound good. ...
