Return of the Son of Closed For Monkey Business
To be honest, I just got nothing.
Hopefully inspiration will return after a leisurely, stress free weekend
Steve, I don't know if this helps or not, but I have an idea for a future Listomania. A few months ago on Sal Nunziato's site, you commented that while you generally dislike the music of the Eagles, you did think that "Get Over It", their comeback hit from their 1994 reunion, was a "great, pissed-off rock-n-roll song" (or words to that effect). So maybe you could do a list of GREAT ONE-SHOTS BY ARTISTS WHOSE WORK I OTHERWISE AVOID (or something similar). I'll try to think of some myself. Ponder the concept, and have a good weekend.
Steve,

I like that and will steal it--thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, J.
ReplyDeleteAnother one. Steve, what band(s) did you not get/enjoy/think were great/whatever until 7 or 8 or 10 or 12 albums in? And what happened afterwards?
Another cool idea-thanks. And I know who my number one I'd.:-)

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Bowie or the Dead.
