Honestly, Elvis has never really been my cup of tea, but after listening to From Elvis in Memphis I can clearly see why so many adore him and I did find myself (to my surprise) thoroughly enjoying the record. I think Lowbacca described his vocals and overall presence on this record perfectly:

Incredible record, positively dripping with Elvis' soul, swagger and sweet sugar.

Overall, From Elvis in Memphis is a very solid and enjoyable record that has given me a newfound respect for Elvis. It's definitely something I would enjoy listening to again.

Some of my favorite tracks on the record are "Long Black Limousine", "Wearin' That Loved on Look", "In The Ghetto", "Gentle On My Mind", and "Any Day Now".

What a stud.

Shirley, you jest. It's a bad picture.

My apologies. The quality is pretty awful.

I'll try to find a picture that looks better, so you can observe badass 70's Brian in all his glory. 

A 90's masterpiece.

What a stud.

All I Wanna Do

There is a vimeo of Al & Mike interview with the Maharishi footage set to the song, but other than that, I never heard it being about or even slightly related to TM. Can you direct me to a rightful source?

I thought it was a well known fact that Mike wrote 'All I Wanna Do' for Maharishi.

 

This is amazing!!!

I really dig this album! I love jazz, and I love alt rock. It's pretty much a prefect blend of the two.

I was immediately blown away at how powerful and heavy these guys sound. I wasn't expecting something like this coming from a 3 piece band consisting mainly of a sax, a bass, and drums. It's a very neat, and unique sound; something I haven't heard before. Although I've never been a huge fan of baritone vocalists, I do think Mark Sandman's vocals end up fitting perfectly.

I think this album is definitely worth listening to again. Anything else by Morphine that's worth listening to?

Anyone else wishing to join is free to do so but they will go at the end of the list. I think if we aim for Sunday for the first selection that would be good! Then we will all have a week to listen and comment on it.

A bit late to the party, but I'm in! Sounds really fun!  

[NEW WEEZER F*CKIN' ROCKZZ!!]

NEW WEEZER F*CKIN' ROCKZZ!!

Yes! The new album is excellent; I couldn't be happier with it!  

It's awesome to have 'em back in top form!

Man, I kinda hope that title's legit! It's f***ing awesome!

Me and my copy of Surf's Up; it's the first record I ever got. My uncle gave it to me 3 years ago right after I got into the Beach Boys. Haven't stopped spinning it since.  

I'm damn sexy

No need to state the obvious, Billy.  

Love it!

I agree that Brian's coolest era was the 60's.

Pictures like this just ooze cool.

Love this guy!  

Any fans of Green Day? Are their albums worth getting into?

I like them. Kerplunk!, Dookie, Insomniac, and American Idiot are definitely worth checking out.

Just to point out, I find it hilarious that when I posted a picture of Bill Wyman here, nearly everyone went apeshit. When TheDumbAngel posted a picture of Jimmy Page, nobody cared.


 

Dude, don't start. Nobody's having an argument because nobody's saying that it wasn't a f***ed up thing for Jimmy to do.

I kind of ignored the argument you all had, but I must say, the stupid sh** a rockstar may have done in their life didn't have to be brought up in a thread where we admire how cool they looked.
