Re: Song of the Moment: Not For You
Mr. Ament’s playing is the best part of NFY. Vitalogy might be his best album. Some of the most rewarding moments on key tracks NFY, Tremor Christ, Corduroy and Immortality are from Jeff.
Every sentence in my head, someone else has said.

That's why I would like to once again return to my point about NFY needing to be a bass-riff driven song, which it sadly isn't. But could have been. And would have been BOMB

It’s a great answer. My guess is if you polled 100 random people at a PJ concert and asked for their top 5 PJ songs, Corduroy would come up the most.Ms Harmless wrote:Corduroy is what I say when people ask me my favourite PJ song

I’m down to hear that however… If you mean JA should be playing and driving the main riff instead of the more intricate pattern he does on record, I disagree. The bass notes on NFY elevate Ed’s chord progression.Lounge Lizard wrote:Absolutely.Matters wrote:Mr. Ament’s playing is the best part of NFY. Vitalogy might be his best album.
