Sustaining o's would make it look like I'm saying "stoop"

I think it's the production as much as anything else that turns me off.. just sounds like shit.. worst of that 80's sound.. but i guess some people like that kind of thing.. nobody's wrong here. . sorry to offend you higgs

The Call Up

This is my favorite, along with "Rudie Can't Fail."

I need to explore these guys more, all I really know is the singles album and London Calling.

seven nation army is the best rock riff of all time

the band>bob dylan

more songs should have saxophones

The riff in of itself means nothing without the white stripes flare

1) it’s a great riff

2) confounded because I would probably reach for an album by the Band before a Dylan album overall, but when Dylan hits the mark nothing hits the mark like it.

3) agreed with the right sax. Clarence Clemons’s work and middle period Rolling Stones are confirmation that when done right it’s incredible.

You dudes with the saxophone jones should come hang out in the jazz thread. Lots of saxophones over there. Lots.

Jeff Buckley is way overrated.

He’s been dead for like 25 years and his two(?) albums are reissued every few years. He’s rarely talked about outside of very specific circles of diehard fans and general music fans of 90s singer songwriters. Is that overrated?

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.

"Morning Theft" is my favorite

yeah real tragedy.. who knows how great he would've become.. such potential.. fairly rated

Fairly rated for me too.

I don't come back to Grace, but there are some astonishingly good songs on Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk (Witches' Rave, Nightmares by the Sea, Everybody Here Wants You, Vancouver, etc.)

He was definitely getting better as he went along.

Michael Jackson's music is overrated. Good dancer.

i'm confounded myself. i think i've liked dylan less as i've gotten older. i didn't really discover the band until my 20s, but i fell in love with them pretty quick. considering their connection, it almost doesn't make sense lol. as a dmb nerd, i'd have to include leroi moore in your list of 'sax done right'.

hard disagree. i've seen audioslave cover it and it was great. i've also heard thousands of people chant it and it still sounds awesome.

[tree_]

yeah but they're all imitating the white stripes' flare

there are a gazillion riffs as good as or better than that one that simply never popped cause of lack of charisma or whatever

Weirdly, despite being a huge Dylan fan, I've always struggled to get into the Band. It's mainly down to Robbie Robertson's guitar, which I've always found trebly and grating. Of course, I can listen to Dylan Live '66 pretty much any day of the week, so I guess I've confounded myself too.

Also yes on Leroi Moore. And yes on the jazz thread - I have a goal in life to appropriately familiarize myself with jazz more. I end up having a hard time knowing where I should focus - I like Miles, Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, etc. - when it is good, I can get into some of the fusion stuff but it lacks something for me compared with the bebop stuff. I end up always meaning to get into it and not following through.

Check out Sonny Rollins! He's the sax player on the Stones' "Waiting On a Friend," and has one of the most illustrious bodies of work in jazz. Start with Saxophone Colossus!

Thanks! Will do.

Edit: this is playing - as good as Sonny Rollins is, Max Roach’s playing on St. Thomas is pretty incredible.
