Best band of the 80's
Gang of Four-Neo Marxist Funk! 
Tom Waits on Austin City Limits
I've seen it myself a couple of times,and I consider it very good,however as you didn't enjoy it,beg, borrow,steal,or even kill and watch a copy of,Big Time,and,if you don't like this also then you need to consider your allegiances! 
Rush remasters- thumbs up.
Unit 1865-somebody slipped LSD into your coffee.Did you read that website,(according to Mr T.Leary)ninety per cent of all Rush lyrics are about the mind expanding effects of acid and how the Goverment is denying us all access to a free collective ... 
8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real?
Well,the midle of the road always sucks,pick any genre,Literature,Art,Politics etc.Whatever has mass appeal, as a rule sucks,check any Top ten list-all the more reason to support talent.As an aside did anybody read about William Shatner's recent a... 
"Miles Davis Story" on Bravo
Also available from your local library!I watched it first and decided against buying it although,it is very good.Did anyone watch the Johnny Cash documentary afterwards? I never paid much attention to his music,but after the program I ordered live...

The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll
I'm 40 and the music of today bores me senseless.From '76 onward with the whole wave scene,Echo and the Bunnymen,Joy Division,Magazine,Gang of Four(neo marxist funk),The Meteors,even the Housemartins(who where Marxist's too)and then to Sonic Youth... 
Are new Rush remasters better?
I wish lincolnl would use a dictionary-I mean when your spelling one syllable words incorrectly there is a problem. 
Bud Powell
Thanks a bundle, Bud Powell fans,I'll be off to Borders Books on Saturday. 
Pharcyde.
I bought a Digable planets cd,'reachin',sorry buddy,but it sucks.The singers sound about 14yrs of age,and 'sing'with all the octave range of the speaking clock-pure monotone,it's the same format for every song.Couldn't hold a candle to the Pharcyde. 
Bluegrass question: Describe what the difference
Read this months Stereophile-'Building a library'.

Are you obsessive compulsive?

Every note that Kiss ever played,albums,rehearsals,tune ups replacing broken strings -everything.The worst rock band ever.Fleetwood mac-rumoursFoghat-anythingLed Zeppelin-anythingTed Nugent-anything 
What are the 5 most overrated rock albums?
This is a great idea,knowing that there are people who dislike 'hotel california' as much as I do feels good.Maybe somebody could start a worst jazz/classical cd string-Kenny G and Pavarotti spring to mind,anyway I nominate any Christian rock albu...
