R.E.M. was great as well, though whether they were rock or alternative is the big question, eh?

I saw them at WS as well.

Jealous . Though, I guess I was born at the wrong time. My dream would have been to see Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and The Who back in the mid 70s. I'd be ultra jealous of anyone that got to do that .

I have a bunch of Final Fantasy music done by a metal band.

G,C, E minor, D. Repeat over and over.

A retarded dwarf could play that song on a guitar. So much for that argument.

Yourself or Someone Like You is an exception. Due to legal issues and record label pressures, Rob Thomas wrote that entire album in a month, and recorded it over two days.

He didn't have much choice because...well, he was homeless.

Lucky for him it sold something like 25M copies.

I knew a guy who did. I was ultra jealous.

Gotta say, The Who Live at Leeds was my favourite album for years. I was overjoyed when they brought out the extended versions on CD.

Gotta get that one . "Who's Next" is one of my favs. Though I must say that I do prefer "Physical Graffiti" by Zep .

[Agathon]

I still have to get all the Led Zep albums on CD. I had them on vinyl, but I bought the two box sets (which have all the songs on them). In my irrational state I'd like to have the albums as well.

One day when I get a DVD player, I will get the West was Won DVD (the CD is brilliant).

Who Live at Leeds is essential. The extended jam on My Generation is one of the best things they ever did.

I love Who's Next, Quadrophenia and LAL. The rest are pretty good too.

My Dad once played in the opening act for the Who in the mid sixties. He said they were too wasted to play and just smashed up all their equipment.

Sweet .

Though I guess I don't understand the fascination some people have with pop bands which are one step removed from 'New Kids on the Block'.

Don't insult the New Kids by lumping them in with Matchbox 20. Step by Step is miles better than anything Rob Thomas and Co. have ever shat out...

Great, great album.

There's a How the West Was Won DVD? I have the self-titled DVD from last year (which is completely awesome, BTW), but I can't find anything about a How the West Was Won DVD...

You like New Kids on the Block and Duran Duran.

That's still hilarious to me. You must've been the only boy in Nebraska to actually enjoy that music.

[Drake Tungsten]

I never said I like New Kids On The Block. I just said they were miles better than Matchbox 20, which is a pretty obvious statement, I think.

I do love Duran Duran, though...

[Imran Siddiqui]

Duran Duran... a far better band than Matchbox 20!

Whackjobs.

Have you even heard Duran Duran's new single?

It is unabashedly horrible. It sounds like an upbeat inspirational type song, but it's way too slow for that.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Who cares about their new single? The 80s and early 90s Duran Duran is their peak.

What? Can't you look beyond the 'new single'?

[BustaMike]

Duran Duran isn't bad.

I actually don't care for Rio that much, but the Wedding Album is great
