I only got two at the moment. Haven't heard Jet's new one yet.


Last man standing - Jerry Lee Lewis

     This old road - Kris Kristofferson

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Gotta give the Modern Times album another spin. I somehow don't seem to connect with latter day Dylan all too well, yet the lyrics of "Thunder on the Mountain" have certainly convinced me to give it another try.

I can't pick any of the top of my head but my favorite song of 2006 has to be "Fresh Mowed Lawn" by Fresh Mowed Lawn. Incredible and transcendent. If someone locked Crowded House and Tears For Fears into a studio together and said they couldn't get out until they made an epic track, this would be it.

Good call.  I personally think Sea Change is his best but this new one is phenominal.

Many Beck fans I know claim Sea Change as his best, it's a great record but personally I find it difficult to listen to.  The Information however is a very fresh and dynamic sounding album.

Would you happen to know the title of the song that Beck performed on SNL a couple weekends ago? It was him on guitar/harmonica and his band rocking out with silverware on a dinner table and random objects. Sounded really good.

I know it had elements of One Foot In The Grave which was originally on Beck's excellent 1994 release Stereo Pathetic Soul Manure, it was a cool performance.

Whoops, that's My Latest Novel's Wolves.

I thought the Lips was their worst since they began working with Fridmann. Still better than most of the stuff out there, but not anywhere near their best.
