As much as I like Pixies and Clutch, I can't say I'm a big fan of nonsense lyrics. They are kinda annoying.

Ultimately Buckley had more potential in him than I think he had fully realized greatness, but there are 4-5 songs on Grace I really, really love, chief among them "Corpus Christi Carol." Man that's a lovely tune.

Andrew Bird took the reins but added whistling to make up for the lack of vocal range

Now I'm just confused.

Good to see my Jeff Buckley opinion seems unpopular though. #threadintegrity

I guess I like actual good musicianship. The Clash strikes me as all (distasteful) attitude.

I don't mean to be a dick here, but this makes me think of you as kinda young.

Or perhaps more accurately, me as old.

I just don't vibe with the style. i know it's unpopular of me ... I guess I'd maybe compare it to like, maybe The White Stripes? In that the style is more than the substance. But I like the white stripes
