Paul McCartney's solo career > John Lennon's solo career (and george's and ringo's)
Re: Paul McCartney's solo career > John Lennon's solo career (and george's and ringo' Different strokes. I preferred John's work with the Beatles more than Paul's. I just like his style of music more than Paul's sappy pop. I always thought of John as more of an artist while Paul was more of a...- pistolpete

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (Official Thread)
Re: Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band I like Seger. Don't really know a whole lot. I have Live Bullet and the Greatest hits Volume 1 and Volume 2. Live Bullet is consistently in my rotation.

George Harrison (Official Thread)
Re: The Official George Harrison Thread He was very into Eastern religion, especially Hinduism. He was introduced to it when the Beatles made a trip to India in 1966. It was a mind-opening experience for all of them, especially George. He started to learn the sitar from Ravi Shankar, who...- pistolpete

Tom Petty (Official Thread)
Re: Official Tom Petty Thread First of all, great write up on the band eberg :cheers2 I'm surprised you don't like the Last DJ though. I always kind of dug it. Although I understand that the writing isn't as clever, but I think he was trying to be to the point. Definitely not his best work...- pistolpete

Most Underrated Rock Band (One Choice Only!)
Petty was my first thought when I saw this thread too. I think most people like Petty, but they should like him a lot more. Best thing about him...he's still going just as strong after 30 years.- pistolpete

Best Songs to Drive to?
Tom Petty - a bunch of good ones but Runnin Down a Dream stands out Springsteen - Born to Run Bob Seger - again a bunch, but Her Strut is a good one Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode And most Doors and Zeppelin songs are good driving songs.- pistolpete

Best Rock Album of The Last 20 Years...
Couldn't agree more. It's not my cup of tea, but the impact it made on people and music is enormous and therefore the best album in the last 20 years. My personal favorites would be Wildflowers by Petty or (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis.- pistolpete

Your Five Most Influential c.d.s (Share Why, Stories, etc.)
1. Abbey Road - The Beatles Before I really listened to Abbey Road, I never thought of an album as a piece of art. I just thought they were collections of songs. I can still remember when the light first came on, I listened to this album nearly every day for about a month. I never got tired of...- pistolpete

A Day in the Life to end Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. Quite possibly the best song by the best band on the most influential album of all time.

Foo Fighters (Official Thread)
Re: Foo Fighters Saw them live a couple years ago. If you like any of their songs and get a chance to see them live, GO! Great show. Great band. Dave Grohl is the f***** man. This song blew me away when I saw them and quickly became one of my favorites by them. Jk44WlYkF00- pistolpete

Third Eye Blind (Official Thread)
Re: The Official "Third Eye Blind" Thread I liked all their hits and I started to get into more fan favorites before I saw them live a couple years ago. They put on a great show. They rocked out more than I was expecting, but it was a great time. I'll always dig them.- pistolpete

Ben Folds: Five or Solo?
Solo. Whenever I want to listen to Ben Folds, I listen to Ben Folds Live. None of the album versions are as good as they sound on the album IMO.- pistolpete

Radiohead (Official Thread)
Re: Radiohead I've been wanting to get into Radiohead for a long time. I recognize their talent, innovation, and that they are probably their era's Beatles. I just don't know about Tom Yorke's voice. When he starts to do his screams or holding out notes, it just really rubs me the wrong way...- pistolpete

Bob Dylan (Official Thread)
Re: Bob Dylan People always give Dylan credit for influencing the Beatles, but I think the Beatles influenced him just as much and that's one reason he went electric.

Bob Dylan (Official Thread)
Re: Bob Dylan I don't like every Dylan album, but if you're a fan, you're missing out on some good albums he released after Blood on the Tracks. Especially Desire, Street Legal, and Love and Theft in my opinion. I like Modern Times, Together Through Life and Tell Tale Signs too. I don't...- pistolpete

Jimi Hendrix murdered by manager says roadie
I always think of Jimi when I hear Neil Young sing "The Needle and the Damage Done" when he says "Every junkie is like a setting sun." He was absolutely beautiful as a person and as an artist, but he didn't last long because of drugs. I never really heard these rumors before. I agree that there...- pistolpete

Neil Young vs Bob Dylan
I absolutely LOVE Neil Young. I love everything from his folk to his grunge. His voice always sounds so heart felt. He's not in Bob Dylan's league though, at least in my eyes. Dylan can make you laugh, cry, happy, angry, etc. They are both in my top 5 favorite artists, but when it comes...- pistolpete

Favorite Beatles Album
1) Abbey Road. Completely agree that it is George's best and at least one of Paul's best. John's songs aren't too shabby either (Come Together is my favorite song). There's not a bad song on Side 1 and Side 2 is even better. It's an absolute master piece. 2) Revolver. In my opinion it is...- pistolpete
