Speaking of bands that didn't "make it".
Here's the song that spawned about a thousand bands.

Gish was by far their best Album, Rhinoceros is on my top 10 all time songs.
Let's not forget this guy. He spanned Folk, Folk-Rock, Pop, Hard Rock, (A touch of) Country, Garage, Grunge and Punk.

Tonight it is All Along the Watchtower. Dave Matthews Band, Hendrix, Hodges, Pearl Jam, and Bob Dylan.
Siamese dream was so overplayed, overheard it I guess. Although Today is a phenomenal song. Mellon collie and the infinite sadness couldn't touch either. That is my opinion. Everyone is looking for their own style.I disagree. Even if you think Gish is the best album, it's definitely not "by far". Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie are both at least up there, and I'd say Siamese Dream is their best work, since it includes my favorite, The Rocket.

Gish and Pisces Iscariot were good but Dream was one of those once in a blue moon albums... It was like the a Rumors album of the 1990s imo, a historic album by a band that never hit that peak again... Pumpkins jumped the shark with sadness as that album never demanded being a double... There was a reason Dream was overplayed, bc it was so damn good.
If you're talking about Rumors by Fleetwood Mac, that was released in 75 or 76. They had a solid run after Rumors with a number of hits. But rarely do you see any band release an album like Rumors and duplicate it.
Been playing a little Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, etc. on Pandora this week.
Was at a HS bball game last week. The pep band playing had about 30-40 kids in it. They were very good and were rocking a lot of classics from the late 60's like "Vehicle" and "25 or 6 to 4".
Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but it's official. I have booked my ticket to see Rush in concert. I'll be at the San Jose concert in July and possibly the Atlanta show in May if my mom decides to get tickets.
Who else is going, and if so, which venue?
