Spoon and The Walkmen occupy the same place in my head. Neither one has an album I'd consider a classic, but both deliver 3 to 5 songs per album that deliver everything I love about each band.

You mean Questlove?

I've also feel this season has seen a drop in quality, specifically after the hiatus. I think the show has had a great run, and I wouldn't be too mad if it ended after 3 1/2 seasons. Will I miss the show? Sure, but those two glorious seasons will always be there to watch on DVD. I hope I start enjoying it again and it…

Amnesiac is actually the album that would hold me back from making that claim about Radiohead. I'd also go one step further back with Sonic Youth and start the run at Bad Moon Rising, but I really do not like EJSTNS.

I personally agree with you, John, as I like all the electric Miles stuff, but it does turn off a lot of people. And I knew I should have looked up the actual name of Experimental Jet Set.

That's not all you've lost.

Both are better than Landing on Water.

Even if you are just looking at the 6 track EP, you still have The Fool on the Hill and I Am the Walrus, two of their more popular songs. Add in the tracks on the Capitol release in America and it's a pretty solid album.

I'd say that the 7 album run by Sonic Youth is a little shaky since both Experimental Youth and A Thousand Leaves leave a bit to be desired. A great seven album stretch is just unheard of. The candidates are basically the Beatles (Help! to Abbey Road), Stevie Wonder (Where I'm Coming From to Hotter Than July), and…

Maybe Zak Snyder made the trailer.

@avclub-21c3134ee5edcb618c4f9aae358d73a7:disqus , I am extremely disappointed in the lack of early Metallica instrumentals in that first link.

Agreed on Rock and Roll, It's one of their best straighforward, balls out rockers, and it all starts with that snare drum up front.

I caught Wild Thing on the radio the other night. It made me think of a great inventory idea: best samples. The Janie's Cryin' guitar lick absolutely makes that song.

Web if Front is a 90's classic, but Rock With You, Superstition and Funky Drummer would beg to differ with your assertion.

There are 65,000,000 million men ages 26-54 who would beg to differ with you.

That wikipedia article is completely ridiculous. San Diego is in California, not Texas.

Interesting, I was always under the impression that most bands got some up front money from the labels to record an album and live the rock star life. Then they got an insanely small slice of the record sales, with the lion share of that going to the songwriters.

Wasn't that always the case? For every U2 or Aerosmith who signed giant multi-album, million dollar deals there are thousands of acts who only make money by touring and selling merchandise. I think the record industry killed itself by not embracing downloading a lot earlier than it did. Hindsight is 20-20, but the…
