grunge is dead

Jimmy Page-Great studio guitarist but was sloppy/inconsistent/on drugs live.

Bob Dylan-Great songwriter but can't sing. Went to one of his shows in the 90's and walked out after two songs. Couldn't understand anything he was singing.

Radiohead-Invented a new sound that may live on for centuries.

You missed Dylan in his prime. He’s all washed up!

Actually got to see them do a reunion show with the Roots as their backing band quite a few years ago at Roots Picnic. What an excellent show that was.

Returned a few years later to see the Roots do the same thing with Naughty By Nature.

I played Papa Roach on shuffle during my bike ride the other day, and yeah, they are really really terrible.

I am sorry for the sins of my youth.

Arcade Fire is really good.

[Ello Sailor]

They were incredible. Now they're just aight.

I’m really into Everything Now now. I love how they just do whatever they want and make it work somehow.

[Ello Sailor]

I'll have to give it another spin. I really liked the song 'Creature Comfort'.

It’s a grower.

I haven’t listened to them in years. I am not sure how it happened but they were a band that no one had enduring patience for. We were all riding the wave on Funeral and Suburbs, and then Reflektor wasn’t great and they just fell off the map.
