    It's only been a huge influence on over 4 decades of indie rock.

    Yard Trauma

    Thanks, I have lots of 80's and 90's era garage rock sitting around. I found that Yard Trauma album just a couple of years ago, when we were in Boston.

    Looking for a song with Roxanne in the lyrics.

    The Jim Capaldi song is from 1983, so it's not that one.

    The great 180 gram vinyl rock n roll swindle

    Vinyl has become a viable niche market again, thus all of the $30 vanity pressings. This includes thicker vinyl, limited quantities, colored vinyl, etc. A label like Norton releases new vinyl LP's for $12, if that tells you anything about how pumped up the price has gotten on this other stuff.

    Most Overrated Artists/Bands of 70s?

    I agree it can come off as too brash or whatever for some people's taste. I know a few folks who's taste otherwise lines up pretty well with mine that don't like it at all. That aside, it's also more rock and roll than about 98% of what gets discussed here.

    Most Overrated Artists/Bands of 70s?

    Nonetheless, it's a great record. Side one just rips from start to finish. The idea these guys couldn't play well enough to make a great rock and roll record is a well worn cliche and a completely silly argument.

    Most Overrated Artists/Bands of 70s?

    I don't know, I hadn't listened to this album in a few years and bought a used copy in a record store this week. Despite all the naysayers, it's pretty freaking great . I just don't get why people who profess to love rock and roll don't like this record. It's pure rock and roll, loud, trashy...

    Looking for opinions on U2... positive, negative all welcome!

    Somewhere between neutral and hate them. A lot of their stuff borders on tedious but I don't even care enough about them these days to work up much hate for them.

    That one album,,,,

    Dark Side of the Moon, perhaps as recognized by the masses as any album and saying that I can't stand it is an understatement. Overproduced and dreadfully dull, it's exactly the opposite of what rock and roll ought to be. I don't know whether punk rock had to happen but it sure as hell needed...

    "US rock scene has never recovered from grunge"- Rob Zombie

    Everything. That article is all over the place. He talks about punk rock, Joan Jett and tape trading, without ever really tying any of them into his topic. I read the article and can't figure out if he thinks those things were positives or negatives. He contends that home taping came...
