did you not listen to their last one? They need to do another Warning-type album to get me interested in paying for the music.

I don't think I've heard anything since 21st Century Breakdown

Uno/Dos/Tre probably has a good to decent Ep of songs between them and Revolution Radio was so very generic.
I recently completed a listen to the My Morning Jacket discography because they're on a list of bands I need to check out. There were a few songs that were musically very interesting to me but for the most part I couldn't get into them at all. I don't know if it was the voice or the vocal stylings (they're different for me) but I just couldn't get into them at all. Again, some pretty interesting parts but I just couldn't get into the whole.

My thoughts on MMJ are that their genius reveals itself in repeated listening. The first few times I heard them I thought they were awful, but then seeing them open for Pearl Jam in 2006 and checking them out again they slowly became one of my favorite bands.

I haven't heard anything else by the band, but Something to Remember Me By by The Horrors started playing last night while hanging out with my eldest at a local coffee shop and every foot in the place started tappin' by the end of the song.

LOL
You went through the trouble of posting that, but couldn't be bothered to find a version without useless subtitles.
The next journey through the full catalogue is coming down to Tom Petty or R.E.M. - I am leaning Tom Petty first then R.E.M. but can’t decide. Both of them I have heard the vast majority of their catalogue and have never gone straight through.

Has there ever been a worse band evolution than Jefferson Airplane?
Their 60s output was amazing, then the 70s started dropping off, then the total nosedive of the 80s and beyond.
Yuck.

To be fair though - Jefferson Airplane was quite a different looking band compared with Jefferson Starship. As far as output goes though - you're bang on

Dave Grohl is vastly overrated as a drummer

Jefferson Airplane broke up in 1972, dude.

Aerosmith: 1970s was pretty good, 1980s showed early glimpses of them trying to reach for glam when their foundation in the blues was their strength, by the 90s they were a shell of their former selves. In the aughts they became b-celebrities, total caricatures, and game show hosts.
