I need to get some RRE! Have you checked out Mostly Autumn yet?

As for the NME, they’re into style and attitude, not music.

What a crock.

For example, Railroad Earth’s new live double-disc, ELKO, destroys a lot of this. Check it out — the mandolin player is an old prog-head, and they stretch songs out to 16+ minutes at times, with incredible musicianship.

It ain’t really bluegrass, despite the traditional instruments.

The NME considers Indie and Punk to be the only valid musical forms. Heavy metal and prog rock are beyond the pale to them.

I really don’t understand why people still take it seriously. Circulation is apparently nosediving.

What the hell!

No Sabbath!?
No Floyd?
Not even a token Zeppelin album?

The Stone Roses had a few good songs, but their overall lack of output seriously keeps them out of the top 10 of any list. Blur and Pulp and the rest of the Brit-wank bands …. you know the drill.
