This is not a Dawes reference.

Axl says turn around Heart, Joan Jett, and Donna Summer.  He's got a use for them.

Dale Murphy was only great for 5 years and then fell off hard.  He just misses (like Cone and Mattingly).  And take out Perez, Sutton, etc.

I think they'd put it in Atlanta.

One awesome album (Rio), one pretty good album (Duran Duran) and a lot of dreck (I said it: Seven & The Ragged Tiger sucks).

What if Dawes was one of us?

Took me a long time to come around, but you're right.  You also need to throw the song "Don't Look Back" in there.

Yowza….

Besides, you ain't got nothin' better to do/ And I'm bored.

I feel like my true best of 2011 list won't be finished until I've had time to check out all the stuff on everyone else's year end list, but here goes:

Who knew it was another term for golden handcuffs?  I'm sorry Billy.  You're 1% less pretentious than I thought you were.

I feel like they've been shoehorning "Home Field Advantage" into their set lists just to give her a turn at the mic.  It's a nice little song but I think they played it the last 3 times I saw them.

MMJ did one in like 02 or so called "MMJ Does Xmas Fiasco)".  Had a cool version of "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" on there. 

You guys ever hear the Sleigh Bells guy's old band Poison The Well?  Not very Sleigh Bells-esque.

Def. one of my fave albums of the year.

This might make you feel worse, but Sammy Hagar said they're his favorite group in ages (for real).

I liked Gish a lot at the time, and looking back most of their singles were quite good too.  But I remember hearing "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" for the first time on the radio when it was released and not knowing it was the Pumpkins.  I remember being really turned off that groups had taken to ripping off Smashing…

Pop off like a mobster boss/ Angel hair with the lobster sauce…

Hipster Street?  Though I may be confusing it with Indiescum Road.

Like I said, I love GBV and am not bashing them at all.  I worship Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes and saw them on the reunion tour.  I'm not just trying to be obnoxious here.
