I could take or leave their other songs, but I love "Found Out About You".

I dunno, I always thought it added to the creepiness, like he's been driving back and forth past her house for hours, and he's getting tired of the news channel telling him what time it is every half hour.

Yeah, I kinda notice that too. And the shittiest mainstream rock acts like Nickelback seem to be going country too.

And Les' comments about modern country have me nodding. I'll listen to pretty much anything Jason Isbell has ever done, and then I scan the top 200 singles on iTunes and see that Luke Bryan is singing about how "corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes my girl friskey" (or whatever the fuck the lyrics are) and that Bryan

Ah, "Blaze of Glory". Because "Wanted Dead or Alive" wasn't stupid enough, they had to re-write the song and make it even more inane.

Journey fits the Best Worst band mold perfectly (as does Foreigner), and I'll admit to having a few songs by each on my iPod (don't worry, I have a lot of Sonic Youth to make up for it).

"I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all."

If they just took the twang out it would probably be Daughtry. Making it less twangy wouldn't make Toby Keith any more tolerable.

Oops. Reading is Fundamental.

So between "Seven Nation Army" and "Enter Sandman", apparently this is "rock songs played in sports venues" week at "Hear This". I guess "Hells Bells" and "Crazy Train" can't be far behind.

Rolling Stone initially gave "Ritual de lo Habitual" 2 stars, now they think it's one of the 500 greatest albums ever. I'm not sure who the hell it was that thought something was wrong with "Ritual" in the first place.

No, I love Get Behind Me Satan too (just not as much as Elephant).

Amen. It was a great song a decade ago, and it's still a great song even with a bunch of drunk "Jersey Shore" extras chanting it before a New York Islanders power play (and I'm an Islanders fan). I don't blame the songs for their popularity in unexpected places.

I was kinda disappointed by "BTCD", maybe due to the lack of Isbell (his songs on the two aforementioned albums are *phenomenal*). Not to take away from the stuff Cooley and Hood wrote on those records. The first time I ever heard "The Dirty South" and that opening chord following with the ominous thumping bass drum

No.

I feel like in the future, if I watch "Gone with the Wind", I need to chase it with "Django Unchained".

Skynyrd or not, you can have my "Decoration Day" and "The Dirty South" when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

Yes, that's pretty much the entirety of my familiarity with "Rent".

He mixed up Cecil Fielder with Cecil Cooper, however.

"Supersonic", "Go Let it Out", "D'Ya Know What I Mean?". All guilty pleasures. Now lemme go fire up my "Snatch" DVD and enjoy the climactic scene with "Fuckin' in the Bushes" playing.
