All this Gabriel talk made me run to Amazon - I don't think I've ever heard one Gabriel/Genesis song. - kelly Jul 9, 21:47 13
- Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is about the only one played on radio anymore. And I'm convinced Gabriel lacks a sense of humor - TWuG Jul 9, 21:48 7
  - they did well to split up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:51
  - while I don't know Gabriel/Genesis, I do love solo Gabriel (one of the weirder shows I've ever been to, but still enjoyable), and Collins/Genesis. -- nm - kelly Jul 9, 21:50 5
    - I love solo Gabriel so much, someone should call the cops. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:51
    - gabriel/genesis is very much a product of early 70's art school students who had talent..... - Remlik Jul 9, 21:51 3
      - apparently the band is as old as I am. wow. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:51 2
        
        started in 67 I believe. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:52 1
        
        older, then. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:55
- It's like two completely different bands. -- nm - Tim Jul 9, 21:48
- I recommend the Carpet Crawlers as a 1st listen, they both sang on it. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:47
- the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:47 1
  - This has been my earworm this evening because of the Peter Gabriel-Genesis talk. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:48
- prog rock! -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:47
Eureka casting Spoilers - amoxy Jul 9, 21:41
You guys sure are quick on the trigger finger for new Halo game searches. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:36
I still like to read him, but Roger Ebert makes the most basic plot errors in his reviews of any major critic. -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:34 1
- it's aggravating. The old excuse was that he was always going out for snacks. Now...? -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:37
mmm . . . grapes - chuckles Jul 9, 21:33 1
- I'm going to have some in a bit myself. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:35
fine, it's a poll: solo artist who surpassed his/her original band when they went out on their own? Neil Young - chuckles Jul 9, 21:24 68
- George Michael -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:47
- Sammy Hagar is the exact opposite of this. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:46 2
  - How so? He surpassed his solo work when joining Van Halen? - TWuG Jul 9, 21:47 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:49
- Micheal Jackson -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 21:45
- Dave Grohl? -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 21:44 2
  - not solo. and, as much as I really like the foo., not with them either. - b! Jul 9, 21:47
  - I don't think Foo FIghters counts as solo. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:46
- Rod Stewart. He started in Jeff Beck's Band -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 21:42
- peter frampton. my sister says paul mccartney, in part due to longevity; but I don't think the beatles could be surpassed for any of them. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:40 5
  - i'd put macca in the sting category. solid solo albums/projects but not beatle-level -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:41 3
    - same with George. John's solo work as a whole, while it had moments of greatness, was lacking as well. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:47 2
      - some people will shoot me, but I think Lennon was the weakest post-Beatles. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:52 1
        
        outside of Imagine (which one could say shot his load) and some of the tracks of his last record... - Remlik Jul 9, 21:54
  - I love me some Paul, but no. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:41
- Eric Clapton -- nm - eag Jul 9, 21:39
- Gwen Stefani, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Simon -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:37 7
  - ozzy better than black sabbath? this is the ultimate in wrong statements -- nm - dogbert Jul 9, 21:47 1
    - His solo career surpassed Sabbath. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:50
  - i don't like Gwen's solo stuff. Paul Simon is great, but I'd say S and G was equal. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:37 4
    - The Paul Simon one was hard because he was such a huge part of the success of S&G that it's a tough comparison to make. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:42 3
      - I do think Art was a better singer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:44 2
        
        You may very well be right about that, but the music was all Paul's. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:46 1
        
        agreed, but I don't know if he would have become as famous without great singer. - loosilu Jul 9, 21:47
- Did anyone say Neil Young? -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:36 6
  - or peter gabriel. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:38 1
    - shaddup. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:40
  - No. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:37 1
    - don't killfile me bro! -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:38
  - umm... -- nm - kelly Jul 9, 21:37 1
    - wow, I'm dum. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:39
- Gloria Estefan -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 21:35
- Jeff Beck, Robbie Williams, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:33 1
  - oh. Robert Palmer. Lionel Ritchie. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:36
- Diana Ross? -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 21:33 1
  - i would say not. Supremes songs are timeless. she was kind of all over the map solo -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:34
- Peter Gabriel. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:31 2
  - yep - he's awesome -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 21:33 1
    - at his best, he's celestial. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:36
- phil collins in some ways, eric clapton, beyonce, justin timberlake -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:30
- except Gabriel didn't surpass his original band. I consider them equaled. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:30 16
  - no. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:33
  - the first couple post-Gabriel still hold up, pop-wise, but Peter works on a whole nother level -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:31 7
    - he did. his last two cd's were less...than Gabriel-esque. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:45
    - Us is underrated, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:34 5
      - by who? not a whole lot of us. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:37 4
        
        out of curiosity, what is your favorite song? - loosilu Jul 9, 21:53
        
        it was about his own therapy, IIRC. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:42
        
        by whom, b. by WHOM! -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:41 1
        
        I first typed that, then second-guessed. I thought about correcting, but you're here to mock that. I took a gamble! -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:43
  - nuh uh. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:31 6
    - compare singles. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:32 5
      - singles are not everything. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:33 4
        
        fair enough. though I will say his last album was horrid. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 21:41 3
        
        I heard some clips and just couldn't. buy it. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:44
        
        have not heard it. He is reputedly bipolar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:42 1
        
        duck from mick.'s judgment! -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:45
- Justin Timberlake - JenBro Jul 9, 21:28
- Cher - JenBro Jul 9, 21:28
- Michael Jackson (if the Jackson 5 counts as a "band") -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:27
- Sting (though I expect arguments about that), Ted Nugent -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 21:27 7
  - if by arguments, you mean punching. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:30 6
    - Dream of the Blue Turtles is good but better than the Police? - chuckles Jul 9, 21:30 5
      - I think that Sting as a solo artist has far surpassed the Police, at least in terms of quality if not sales. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:40 3
        
        The Police is the best band ever, so I don't see how that's possible. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:43 2
        
        I like 90% of everything the Police ever did. But they have a "sound". Sting has gone places Police never could have - TWuG Jul 9, 21:46 1
        
        This. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:47
      - exactly. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 21:32
Despicable Me gets a B. Cute, funny in places, but nothing special. -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 21:21
Also, have we posted the video for Brandon Flowers solo single starriing Charlize Theron? -- (link) - Dano Jul 9, 21:09 [youtube] 13
- I thought this was about the CB for the Chiefs. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 9, 21:36
- go girl! I like that and the song. and, nub, it can allow a singer to do different kinds of music/songs that aren't quite in line with - b! Jul 9, 21:20 3
  - Bruce Springsteen's solo stuff, for example. - kelly Jul 9, 21:39
  - heh -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:21 1
    - :) - -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:21
- I don't understand "going solo". You're just trading in a good band for a less experienced one. What's the point? -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 21:16 7
  - Depends on if it's a "Genesis" type band or a "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" type band. - TWuG Jul 9, 21:35
  - Peter Gabriel could never have made an album like "So" if he stayed in Genesis - chuckles Jul 9, 21:21
  - "creative differences." -- nm - Tim Jul 9, 21:19
  - And it doesn't sound any different than a Killers song. -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:19 2
    - heh. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 21:20 1
      - heh -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:21
  - because it's about relationships, I'm guessing. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:18
Repost: The July pick for the ST Film Festival is The Vicious Kind (Netflix link) -- (link) - Dano Jul 9, 21:07
y'all are still talking food? heh. I meant to post this earlier - wsj had a story on adult picky eaters this week. nm but: -- (link) - b! Jul 9, 21:03 3
- wow, that sounds very unpleasant. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:15
- poor spawn :( -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:12 1
  - My dad (who did graduate work in experimental psych) told me he thinks foods taste different to him than they do to me. - loosilu Jul 9, 21:17
Ender (Eureka spoils) - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 9, 20:49
Poll: Would you eat head cheese? - loosilu Jul 9, 20:46 10
- Sure -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 21:52
- Nope -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 20:58
- I just looked at images, and realized I've eaten it, and liked it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:50
- It's all good, edible, meat....no worse than liverwurst :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:49
- not even if you offered me a triple blind koozie - 'lia Jul 9, 20:47 5
  - and that reason is mispronounciation -- nm - Roger More Jul 9, 20:55
  - The new market that just opened locally (Jon's) carries all kinds of 'specialty' meats.. - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:51
  - would you be interested in a shipment? -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:51 2
    - oh yummy yes! -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 20:55 1
      - you would have to pay shipping charges (probably under $20) but beer is free. - loosilu Jul 9, 21:01
Amoxy - I fixed pork tongue last week....deeeeelicious! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:39 5
- This is the recipe I used....... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:43
- I kinda like pigs' feet. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:41 3
  - ew! ew! ew! - 'lia Jul 9, 20:42 2
    - what? they're tasty. - loosilu Jul 9, 20:42 1
      - Oh my, another flashback...when we were first on the farm in Australia (I was kindergarten age) and we went down to the city, we used to stay at the - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 20:48
loosi I break out in hives if I eat a certain mushroom. my ex thought it would be funny... - Remlik Jul 9, 20:37 2
- yikes!!! eggplant gives me severe stomach cramps ... for up to 10 days. - loosilu Jul 9, 20:39 1
  - Apples did the same thing to me. -- nm - Eve Jul 9, 20:40
so ... I decide to join netflix - their free trial - and I am so proud of putting the movie Dano mentioned in to my "que" to watch on the computer - JenBro Jul 9, 20:32 17
- dano has . . . distinct tastes - chuckles Jul 9, 20:33 16
  - he really likes movies with creatures terrorizing humans. I mean, *really* likes them. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:39 12
    - That's me. Deep Blue Sea, Predators, Aliens, oh yeah baby. I thought Dano had very different taste than me, like dysfunctional family dramas. -- nm - ceregon Jul 9, 21:04 10
      - and Pirahnas -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:05 9
        
        when I had him for Secret Stalker, I sent him a stuffed piranha. - loosilu Jul 9, 21:06 8
        
        *dreams of the day Loosilu draws me as a secret stalker* -- nm - ceregon Jul 9, 21:11 1
        
        oh, you want a piranha? or maybe a tarantula encased in lucite? - loosilu Jul 9, 21:19
        
        I still have it as part of my collection. -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:08 5
        
        I thought you needed a real one. the jaws are so impressive. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 21:10 4
        
        It goes well with my autographed movie poster of Piranha. -- nm - Dano Jul 9, 21:13 3
        
        i would have sex with groiny for an autographed "Baby It's You" one-sheet -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:17 2
        
        Is that supposed to be motivation? - Dano Jul 9, 21:20 1
        
        don't go to any trouble on my account, really - chuckles Jul 9, 21:22

      - you don't want to know what we say behind your back. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 20:35 2
        
        i'm sure the discourse positively sparkles with erudite wit. -- nm - TFox Jul 9, 20:36 1
