And put me down as another "Strangest Tribe" enthusiast.
Don't forget o'brien and his damn piano, all thats missing is some sax to top it all off. You know, people allways mention lasers, where in the song are they? i cant hear them.
+1 strangest tribe, eddie's voice is velvet smooth
I love the production on the Lost Dogs version of Wash, it sucks you right into the song.

The studio version of speed of sound always made me think of a circus, the way all the extra stuff they added in sounds

There's a lot that this band does well. Obviously, as we are all still here. But there's some that....I'm heading over to the bitching thread.

Then you've never heard the last three minutes or so of Rhapsody In Blue.
Edit: Or a million other pieces of music throughout history that aren't just fist pumping wankery.

Pearl Jam praise: I really like "Let Me Sleep". The song, not the poster. I'm okay with the poster. But I love the song.
