I think I still have that podcast on my computer if you want it, Anders.

I’d love to hear as well if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

[Anders]

Yes please, and thank you.

I meant to get this up last night, but it slipped my mind. Here it is, the Vs. 25th Anniversary episode of PJ Radio: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4da6c41n4815 ... 8.mp3?dl=0

[Ms Harmless]

anyone have that crazy mary demo they played on the Sirius XM Vs. walkthrough? I could swear they played another alternate version in that Sirius XM interview... one with more acousticiness ... but maybe I am imagining things.

Do you still need this?

That podcast reminded me how much control Stone had over the band in those early years.

I know this have been talked to death, I just cant find the post, but would you have liked an album between Ten and Vs maybe with all the outtake material? Something like:

- Wash
- Breath
- Solat
- Hard to Imagine
- Brother
- Hold On
- Chinese
- Alone
- Cready Stomp
- Footsteps
- Yellow Ledbetter

Or you prefered them being just bsides? I think theyre strong enough to carry their own album.

[Hypnos]

Wow, there is a thread initiated by me. I guess this topic have been always on my mind.

This album right here is better than anything Billy Joel ever crapped out.

[Bammer]

But to answer your question it was fun seeking out those B-sides at the time, and hearing something like HTI in concert was amazing.

[Strat]

man alive. Go is really good huh

[VinylGuy]

man alive. Go is really good huh

Its fucking amazing. I still remember the first i listned to it...i put the cd and got my brain blown. I had to put the volume down a little bit

[Leatherhead]

Replace Glorified G, Dissident, Rats, Leash, and Indifference, with Wash, State of Love and Trust, Hard to Imagine, Brother, Alone, and Footsteps. And you've got a much better album.

[stip]

the best songs on this album area as good as they've ever been.

No way -- I like a lot of those songs but except for maybe "Alone" they have an entirely different feel.

I've recently been reawakened to the awesomeness of Ten and Vs.. Because I listen to them so rarely, I mostly just think of them in relation to the records that I like even better (No Code et al.), and end up short-shrifting them. But both of them kick serious ass.

[stip]

There is just an epic sweep to them both that they've never come close to reproducing (though other than a few moments here and there I also don't know how hard they tried)

[Kevin Davis]

I still like what they moved onto even better, no question, but setting aside for a moment mankind's undying need to compare and rank things, these albums really do what they do very well.

Honestly at my most generous I think that's true to an extent of every PJ album except Lightning Bolt, which I just don't like.
