So I like how DMB's Under the Table and Dreaming got a Roundtable a few days ago, and yet here it is, correctly noted as Least Essential.

RAAAAABIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!!

Fear of a Black (Clad) Planet

I still have a few drinks a week, but the older I get, the more I feel alcohol is kind of a problematic drug, for which the risks and side effects just aren't worth the 'high'. Plus it makes me sleep like absolute shit.

I didn't know you were Scottish!

Well, Drozd "kicked", except for some pretty spectacular relapses, IIRC? So do they count?

It's anecdotal, but the recovering alcoholics I know kind of have…anger issues, IMO. This is seemingly specific to alcoholics, not other drugs.

The original (Groovies) "You Tore Me Down" always makes me think of Stone Roses for some reason - maybe because it's shimmery/jangly, and I associate the title with "Shoot You Down"?

This looks about like my ranking, though Fade was damn strong.

"Somebody's Baby" is great, but I think their cover of "Dreaming" is even better.

Here's "Blue Line Swinger" at Matador 21. Sorry about the sound quality, but I was there, and it was just VOLCANICALLY loud. Plus you get to see Mitch Mitchell from GbV nearly get his ass kicked by Security for bum-rushing the stage.

A classic.

I kind of regret making that comment, because "Two Princes" has been stuck in my head for the last couple hours. It's catchy all right; again, more than you can say about DMB.

It's even funnier to me if you reverse it to Casual Gramps.

I regret that I had but one comment to give, to receive this bounty in return. Bravo, good sir.

Someone needs to register as 'Dawes Matthews Band', stat.

And into our collective earholes in the 1990s.

What he said^^^^^.

The popularity of this band mystified me then, and the fact that this album is being discussed at length in 2014 is baffling. Nasal vocals, faux-'funky' instrumentation.

It's when you put a white sheet with only one 'eyehole' over your lap and make "WOOOOOOO" sounds.
