I like how this explanation doesn't make him sound any less crazy.stip wrote:
again, I would prefer to listen to Backspacer to those bands. But there are precious few albums out there that I really like listening to from start to finish. So for pretty much all those albums there will be some songs that are really great, but if I was going to listen to something from start to finish I'd choose backspacer (over half of PJ's output too).
I would not say that Backspacer is more influential or culturally significant than what those other guys did.

No but at least it's conceding that Backspacer isn't "better" .BurtReynolds wrote:I like how this explanation doesn't make him sound any less crazy.stip wrote:

I get it though. I go through PJ phases where I'd rather throw on any PJ cd over any other band . Just the same I go through phases where I'd rather listen to any album that isn't PJ.BurtReynolds wrote:well I didnt really think he was that crazy.Thejambi wrote:No but at least it's conceding that Backspacer isn't "better" .BurtReynolds wrote:I like how this explanation doesn't make him sound any less crazy.stip wrote:

To be fair, I would rather listen to Backspacer than anything by Bright Eyes, Ani DiFranco, the Dresden Dolls, or Counting Crows too.stip wrote:

I wouldn't say that about every pearl jam album though
. I WOULD say that about Backspacer (and a few others)Re: The most stip posts of all time.

Haha...God bless him. I think music is not objective, its very nature is in subjectivity.
That being said, I almost feel that Backspacer is an objectively shitty album. I've said that about so few albums in my time...and then Stip likes that record more than No Code which is in my top ten records of all time (at worst!).
That's quite a dichotomy. Fuckit, if he likes the stuff let him go crazy with it.

The 2nd Counting Crows record is good.

Love the drumming on the first album. 2nd and 3rd album have a couple of okay tracks. Very boring band live.bada wrote:The 2nd Counting Crows record is good.

Counting Crows write better pop songs than anything. Hangingaround and Accidentally in Love are fun.bada wrote:The 2nd Counting Crows record is good.

I always got the impression that Duritz wanted to be one of those Bob Dylan, "I'm not going to sing anything live the same way I sing it on the record"-type performers, but he just had no gift for it. He always just sounded like he was forgetting how his own songs went.LetMeSleep wrote:Love the drumming on the first album. 2nd and 3rd album have a couple of okay tracks.

I have a soft spot for their first album, though.

Agreed. Furthermore, I'm convinced that Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky.Kevin Davis wrote:I always got the impression that Duritz wanted to be (...) Bob Dylan
