I think this band is rarely mentioned on ST. Spawn, David, everyone. What about the Who? -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 26, 15:50 47
- Still listen to Live At Leeds, Who's Next and Quadrophenia regularly. It's all good. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 26, 16:16 2
  - For my money Live at Leeds is the best live album in the history of recorded music. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:17 1
    - My favorite is a little gem titled "Performance-Rockin' The Fillmore. - zunkskunk Apr 26, 16:26
- I think y’all are some old folks. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:12 5
  - are you new here? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:13 4
    - It’s just fun to poke the olds. Especially since there are a few like Jax and JD that are musically young. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:15 3
      - You can be both. I think I am. I like new stuff and old stuff. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 16:29 1
        
        Of course. Though it is probably more likely not to really stay up with the newfangled music the kids like today. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 16:30
      - oh good point! -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:16
- This guy is a god. -- (pic) - Spawn Apr 26, 16:10 [Attachment] 12
  - He's a huge asshole, and also a musical genius, and still alive -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:11 11
    - Yes, he is. All of those things. -- (edited) - Spawn Apr 26, 16:12 10
      - arrogant prick, probly one of the reasons I'm less a fan. They're my brother's fave band, though. -- nm - mud Apr 26, 16:13 3
        
        Ridiculously arrogant prick. and IMO justified. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:14 2
        
        I'm sure Remlik has mentioned to you we have seen them rehearse a couple times. That was *very* cool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:22 1
        
        yes indeed, what songs did they play? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:24
      - favorite album, song? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:13 5
        
        Tie. Won't Get Fooled Again, Can't Explain and Love Reign O'er Me. Quadrophenia. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 16:19 4
        
        cannot dispute any of them. I actually think Can't Explain was Keith's favorite song. Every time they started it he was like OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE - loosilu Apr 26, 16:22 3
        
        I say those, and really BO'R, too because every time I see them I think during each of them, "No, this is my favorite." I am a huge Eminence Front fan - Spawn Apr 26, 16:25 1
        
        BOR is genius, and it's one of the songs that makes the crowd scream in the first notes. Also Pinball Wizard -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:35
        
        Can't Explain at Isle of Wight, 1970, it was 2 am, second song. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 26, 16:25 [youtube]
- Link -- (link) - spamlet Apr 26, 16:06 [Backboard] 1
  - I missed it!!! so we could discuss which WHO songs are the best of all time. I lean toward Won't Get Fooled Again -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:10
- Top 3 all time for me. And I think underappreciated. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 15:57 5
  - I 1000% agree underappreciated. Best live rock band of all time. And I think Townshend is the best SINGLE rock songwriter. - loosilu Apr 26, 15:59 4
    - They are brilliant and he is an amazing songwriter. I always sort of credit with them creating the "angst" in rock music. - pmb Apr 26, 16:05 3
      - I 1000% percent agree it's the seeds of punk. "I Can See For Miles" is from 1966. It's astonishing. - loosilu Apr 26, 16:08 2
        
        If you haven't read his autobiography, I highly recommend it. -- nm - pmb Apr 26, 16:10 1
        
        Sure did! also, my book rec, "Full Moon" written by Keith Moon's long suffering personal assistant/roadie/driver/babysitter. HYSTERICALLY funny -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:12
- One of the best ever. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 26, 15:55 1
  - uh oh, now that you said that, it's certain what David thinks -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:55
- Quadrophenia (1973) was their last album -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:53 10
  - No, *you're* an eminence front! -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 16:03
  - I love Who Are You (1977): Trick Of The Light, Sister Disco, 905, the title song, etc -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:57 8
    - I love Who Are You. Famous for the album cover with Moon sitting on a chair on which it was written "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY" and he died 3 weeks later. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:00
    - Quadrophenia (1973) was their last album -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:53 -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:58 6
      - For my money, Quadrophenia is the most underappreciated album of the rock era. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:03 2
        
        not at the time. They made a movie! It was one of the best movies of the 70s -- nm - mud Apr 26, 16:04 1
        
        It's now considered a cult movie. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 16:05
      - spoken like a good prog rock fan -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 16:02 2
        
        out of my brain..on the train -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 16:17 1
        
        Seats are seductive, celibate sitting - loosilu Apr 26, 16:18
- Absolutely brilliant, so David probably hates whats left of them -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:51 3
  - Favorite album? For me Quadrophenia. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:52 2
    - Who's Next -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:53 1
      - Absolute genius, and you would easily convince me it's the best. Genius. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:55
these folks just went down my street: -- (link) - mud Apr 26, 15:18 10
- About the same number we get here, but here they just drive, so they a) are safe from the disease they don't believe exist; b) occupy a lot of space; - Marlowe Apr 26, 15:36 2
  - hear about the health workers attacked in Mexico? -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:47
  - It sounds like your senate is just waiting for the right moment to impeach? -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 15:47

Dangerous Lies looks fun. -- nm - Todd Manning Apr 26, 15:14

  - I hope it's just SO busy they can't handle the traffic. -- nm* - Andie Apr 26, 16:27
- Who are the stars? -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:28 13
  - everyone. name a Canadian and they are on it essentially -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 15:28 12
    - Loosi -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 16:05
    - the one who plays hockey - crash davis Apr 26, 15:43 2
      - Like a hockey player could ever social distance. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 15:43 1
        
        But their sticks could be perfect measuring devices -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 15:49

    - Bill Shatner. Celine. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:29 2
      - Alanis. Avril. Men Without Hats. MJ Fox. Neil Young. Geddy and Alex. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 26, 15:32
      - no Shatner yet, but Celine was. -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 15:32
I don't have words to express how sick I am of TV commercials with compassionate piano music. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:03 1
- ...in these uncertain times... -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 16:02
Strangest shopping trip ever! Found pretty much everything I wanted except the pepper-jack cheese that was on sale. Got my comb and colored pencils :) - Meg Apr 26, 14:18

Extraction: B/B-. The action scenes - one chase sequence in particular - were very well done, But it felt overly long. And it needed a lot more Golshifteh Farahani. -- nm* - prayformojo Apr 26, 12:13 4
- But you say that about every movie. -- nm - Dano Apr 26, 12:42
- Approx when was the sequence? I might fast forward to it later. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 12:35 2
  - edit: start at the 35 minute mark -- nm* - prayformojo Apr 26, 12:48 1
    - Awesome. I seriously clicked on it last night and thought, "There is probably something in it I will like... but probably not enough." and rewatched - Spawn Apr 26, 12:57

  - In this situation it's best to just head to the open bar. -- nm - Max Apr 26, 11:53 1
    - rhymin'! -- nm - mud Apr 26, 11:57
- Very Cavallari was really good the first couple of seasons because Jay and her are so clearly head over heels in love. - David Apr 26, 11:49
- Uhm, wasn't her show still running, like, a week ago? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:49 1
  - The most recently was a month ago, but it was filmed 6-8 months ago. -- nm - David Apr 26, 11:51

I need some air in one of my tires, but felt bad just getting the free air at the gas station, so I filled up too. - Open Baron Apr 26, 11:29 6

    - Sounds like fukkin socialism to me, comrade. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 14:06 1
      - On the contrary! They offer you something free to get you in the door where you buy something you don't need. The highest form of capitalism! -- nm - Open Baron Apr 26, 15:28

Pink Floyd songs I can stand: What Do You Want from Me, Money, Another Brick in the Wall. - David Apr 26, 11:18 21

  - Sorry Qale, better is better. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 15:01 7
    - I would have tagged you for a Zep guy rather than Floyd. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:02 6
      - I like solo Plant more than Zep. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 15:03 5

        Except for Zep 4, there are not Zep albums I loved, only songs. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 15:40 2
        
        Love Zep. I'll stand up for Spawn. How many live songs did Plant ruin by going "baby baby baby" -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 15:48
        
        fair enough -- nm - mud Apr 26, 15:46

    - Sorry David. This is straight up DLC. And to pick on Wish You Were Here, which is a truly brilliant and accessible song that requires no stoner - pmb Apr 26, 13:39
