Speaking of bad music. Ever listened to Little Steven's Underground Garage? Terrible stuff there.

I just wait for The Raveonettes.
You know I was messing with you, right?

Not sure any of those albums are as good as Rumours, Aja, or Hotel California.

I don't know what y'all want from me.
I defend The Beatles on here all the time from "snobs". I'm even fond of The Beatles (White Album), but it is not their best - Abby Road, Sgt. Pepper and Let it Be are the best Beatles albums - White Album has a lot of fluff, IMHO.
Beggar's Banquet? Loaded with great singles, but doesn't have the cohesive feel that those top 3 from 1978 have.
I'll admit that JT is milquetoast, but some of the very best of the genre - I mean a lot of the folk/soft/acoustic acts had a lot to say, (Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, Mitchell), Taylor was one of the best. And JT was his best album.
Obviously, soundtracks are a unique category, but tougher to find a more seminal one than John Williams' Star Wars.
But, Hotel California, Aja and Rumours are 3 of the best "albums" of all time, period.

No. I wasn't crazy about The Disciples of Soul. For that matter, I think Springsteen is overrated (although there are some guilty pleasures in there, for sure - it is no wonder his only #1 was by another act - Manfred Mann was a "no shite" rock and roll outfit. Without The Big Man, the E Street Band is relatively uninteresting in the grand scheme of things.)

Chris Rea
Elvis Costello
The Cars
Toto
A Taste of Honey (winner)

Meh. You called Steely Dan pretentious - Bruce was kind of feeling his "pretention" oats, here, IMHO.
I like Tenth Avenue Freeze Out and Born to Run off the next album, but I always felt that Bob Seger did "that" style of rock and roll a lot more sincerely and, quite frankly, competently than Bruce did (and, again, Blinded By the Light is probably his best song and he never recorded a competent version of it - sounding like Dylan with abdominal cramps, typically).

That is funny. Steve P. probably got a chuckle out of that, having invented modern drumming already at this point in his career.

While you can call a lot of BS pretentious, I don't get that vibe from "Rosalita" -- in fact that's probably the lightest thing he ever did
Seger is a strange case -- I like a lot of his '60s stuff, but he got more and more pompous as he got more famous; eventually ("Old Time Rock & Roll", "Fire Lake", "Turn The Page") he became unbearable. He ironically began to sound like a Springsteen imitator -- despite the fact that he came first.

You're using The Grammys as a reference of any sort for good music?

And Dylan's ASM is a great record -- IMHO it should've been a single. I much prefer it to actual singles from BOB, "Just Like A Woman" and "Everybody Must Get Stoned"

I like the JATS cover, but if there is a remake that might be superior, it would be The Flamin' Groovies' version

They just redid Dylan's terrible performance.
