One of my fav Cooley songs.

hard to do.......for if I bought it, it was important to some extent......so here goes......in no particular order..... Let it Be........Beatles GP...........Gram Parsons Return of the Grievous Angel............Gram Parsons Still Feel Gone............Uncle Tupelo Pauls Boutique.......Beastie Boys It...

Wilco started as the alt country thing but then became more experimental rock..........Son Volt stayed very Uncle Tupelo like. I can see why one would like those two and not Wilco. I love all three. Wilco's title of America's Radiohead is pretty fair when one listens to Summerteeth,Yankee Hotel Foxt...

1) Drive By Truckers

2) Avett Brothers

3) The Low Anthem

4) The Felice Brothers

5) Wilco

6) Blitzen Trapper

7) Jason Isbell

8) Trampled By Turtles

9) Jay Farrar/Son Volt

10) MMJ

Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers were such a great band..........Chris will be missed.

I appreciate the fact the Crows did this album and the songs they chose to do. It is a collection of songs by artists that inspired Duritz and the other Crows. For so many who listen to music on a top 40 level their whole life, and currently with the state of top 40, would never know of these artist...

Stars and Satellites by Trampled by Turtles

my fav album so far in 2012.........great all the way through.

great song........great bassline.

I see Keith Richards/Gram Parson era style influence for sure.

I am coming forward to say Wham was not where it was at in the 80's..................sorry

Beastie Boys are long overdue to be in.........I am also happy to see Eric B and Rakim get in. Their album Paid in Full should get them in by itself........that important to hip hop. RHCPs is a band I loved when I was a lot younger and more reckless. I understand their importance in music for their ...

agreed........to me absolutely no negativity with that line.

I like Empty House and California. I just missed the coutry rock vibe they have previously displayed . I will say a lot of this album is similar to 80's alternative music where keyboards and synthesizers etc. were popular with bands like New Order, OMD, Erasure etc. It is not that that era is bad f...

They are completely different........but yes New Multitudes imo is much better overall. I however do not think they are the best supergroup recently..........that honor goes to Middle Brother. Love that album!

Smitty wrote:so now before you can express an opinion on an album, not only do you have to wait a few months, but also see how the songs are live?

True, live is a final judgement..........but right now this sounds like an album full of songs the Killers didn't want to release on their last one.

I love Anders stuff on New Multitudes as well as his collab with Farrar on Gob Iron(one of my fav albums ever!)..........but his more recent solo stuff kind of stinks imo. ? really? to each his own opinion. truly. but the self titled album(*) 2006 wounded astronaut 2005 and tell it to the dust (*) ...

Been listening to it for a while.........and yeah it sucks. It has not improved.

I really liked anything after Black Sabbath most..............Road to Nowhere is an all emcompassing song for him lyrically, so I guess I will say Ozzy solo stuff.

As much as I love Farrar and I do............Tweedy by a landslide. Farrar was good early on with Tupelo and early Son Volt whereas Tweedy has improved a great deal with age and time. That may have to do with the overall talent of musicians around him more recently too. But great idea for a cage ma...

I cannot stand it and I really loved The History From Below before it. It will go right into my crates of new cds never to be seen again. Kind of like stuff that went into the trash compactor in Star Wars.

Next cage match.... Farrar vs Tweedy I'm calling a draw. As much as I love Farrar and I do............Tweedy by a landslide. Farrar was good early on with Tupelo and early Son Volt whereas Tweedy has improved a great deal with age and time. That may have to do with the overall talent of musicians a...

Any Cooley is great Cooley............I personally love Lisa's Birthday and Weakest Man. His strength really is in his ability to write great old time country songs. Weakest man to me is so good because of its duel meaning......could be about a girl could be about alcohol. Regardless of what the tru...

Replacements.........not even close.

Dolly for two reasons





































Jolene and I Will Always Love You..............wow what did you think I meant?

There is no comparison in my eyes for two reasons..........Baba O'Reilly and Pete Townsend. Sorry Led Zep, The Who has got you here.

CF imo is evolution and artistic growth.........nothing more. I would not want them to make their self titled album 5 more times over just changing the name of the songs and album title. Maybe for some they should say they prefer their older stuff to their new stuff not that CF is really that bad of...

Elvis imo was more important overall to music and its history and evolution etc. However I prefer Cash by a large margin.

Good song.......I just have never loved it. There are too many other classics on TDS for me for this one to really stick out.
