Someday all that will be left of us will be our internet personas, archived for the ages, and posterity will remember me as an Iowan who loved the Star Wars prequels more than the original trilogy, hated Cheap Trick, thought Godfather III was the best, and who, most of all, just wanted to have fun.

Well done, gentlemen. Well done.

I can dig those...except the fucking Frampton.  Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Adding...in no particular order off the top of my head.

Wilco - Kicking Television
Depeche Mode - 101
Zeppelin - How the West Was Won
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis/Live!
Oingo Boingo - Farewell
Frank Zappa - Fillmore '68 (with the awesome Humble Pie story -- I think it was Humble Pie)
Ministry - In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up
The Roots - Alive
Grateful Dead - Dick's Picks Volumes 1-36, not including volumes 12 and 29, which suck

Yeah...maybe top 10.  Maybe top 5 is you leave the live compilations, like 101 and Alive.

edit:

I forgot The Band's Last Waltz and Dylan's Before the Flood, which was with The Band.

I wanted to clarify a position that doesn't need clarifying - I don't think people that like Cheap Trick are lame. I don't listen to them. Maybe they don't suck but that's just something I say to be cool.

Here's a line I'd like to draw: there's a major difference in actively hating a band (Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend, anything Weebs likes) and just not caring about them much. If someone told me they listened to Cheap Trick I would think that's nice. He likes Cheap Trick. Good for him. If someone told me they think that Heidi Montag's album is a pinnacle of human achievement, I am full-body hating that person and wishing vile things upon their person.

That's just something I wanted to lay out there. Hopefully it's had little to no impact on your lives.

Cheap Trick is decent power pop. Not up to the Raspberries or Jellyfish's standards.

But the Budokan album caught them hitting on all cylinders. I've seen them live, and nothing they did in person approached what was captured on that album.

I dunno. I'd say the best of the Raspberries levels Cheap Trick, but the Raspberries' ballads have shades of Eric Carmen's solo career. And as we all know:

"Go All the Way" : "All By Myself" :: Caddyshack : Caddyshack II

Fork, you ever heard of an LA band called The Quick? Mid-70s, apparently opened for the Ramones a few times on the West Coast. Not earth shattering, but pretty good as far as "bands that never quite made the cut."

Cheap Trick is decent power pop. Not up to the Raspberries or Jellyfish's standards.

I dunno. I'd say the best of the Raspberries levels Cheap Trick, but the Raspberries' ballads have shades of Eric Carmen's solo career. And as we all know:

"Go All the Way" : "All By Myself" :: Caddyshack : Caddyshack II

Fork, you ever heard of an LA band called The Quick? Mid-70s, apparently opened for the Ramones a few times on the West Coast. Not earth shattering, but pretty good as far as "bands that never quite made the cut."

I know LA's goalie is Mike Quick, if that helps.

It's Jon Quick. Mike Quick was a wideout for the Tecmo Super Bowl Era Eagles along with their famous quarterback, QB Eagles.

But the Budokan album caught them hitting on all cylinders. I've seen them live, and nothing they did in person approached what was captured on that album.

Man, I keep forgetting about Jellyfish...I used to love that band.  I need to get back on that...

I wanted to clarify a position that doesn't need clarifying - I don't think people that like Cheap Trick are lame. I don't listen to them. Maybe they don't suck but that's just something I say to be cool.

Here's a line I'd like to draw: there's a major difference in actively hating a band (Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend, anything Weebs likes) and just not caring about them much. If someone told me they listened to Cheap Trick I would think that's nice. He likes Cheap Trick. Good for him. If someone told me they think that Heidi Montag's album is a pinnacle of human achievement, I am full-body hating that person and wishing vile things upon their person.

That's just something I wanted to lay out there. Hopefully it's had little to no impact on your lives.

Okay, I'm downgrading your status to apathetic. Which is much better than the actual "incorrect feeb" status of SKO and PenFoe.

I'm not involved in this any more than Slak is.

I never forget about Jellyfish.  What a fucking band.  The only mistake they ever made was not to release more than two albums.

I went to see them live at the Town & Country in North London, probably around twenty years ago now.  Andy Sturmer *stood* at the front to play drums and sing lead vocals.  They were tight as a duck's arse.  Beautiful.

I had one music teacher who insisted Keith Emerson and Isao Tomita were the future of music. I always found the synth-in-place-of-an-orchestra pretty cold sounding. Especially when Stevie Wonder showed the world how awesome synthesizers could be.
