[salin]

4. Leaning that way as well

[aquaman]

[sundog]

3. this is apples & oranges

:crazy:

[salin]

5. true

but kinda wondered if anyone else remembered (or even knew) either, let alone both... :D

[sundog]

6. I liked Meat Puppets

but am I even in the same space of my brain if I'm comparing "Backwater" to "So Alive" ?????

Different neurons altogether, man. :P

[salin]

firing off a whole lot of differnt neurons? ;-)

[sundog]

7. oh man you picked two of my favorites from that era.

I cannot pick one over the other. sophies choice. :P

[salin]

10. you always struck me as a cool one!

but will you lose respect for me, if I admit while I enjoyed these... I also secretly rocked to Robert Palmers "I didn't mean to turn you on..." ??

[jonnyblitz]

11. lol...i wouldnt lose respect for you for that

but I sure as hell aint tell you what i listened to when nobody was looking back in the day. :P: :hi:

[salin]

12. okay, but dang if you haven't suddenly made me curious

and nosey... sure you don't want to tell???

13. Let's find out what Wat_Tyler's take on this is!

Even seeing the word "progressive" might set him off!:evilgrin:

Having said that, I have to go with the Meat Puppets; I just never had much use for Love and Rockets.

14. I really liked Bauhaus, but... L 'n' R kind of sucked, except for "Express

However, the Meat Puppets, while not my favourite band, recorded "Sam", which is one of the most amazing songs ever performed.
