'like Van Morrison if he was signed to Disney'.

Oh man, wow. "Let it Rain" started playing in my head as I read this.

Van Morrison. Hm. Some of my friends love him, and I love him, because of exposure as a child. Others of my friends, whose parents did not listen to Van Morrison in their childhood, think that he is HORRIBLE.

Also, he wrote that song Gloria.
My roommate hates the Doors, which is weird because... I feel like I 100% understand how someone could hate the Doors, but I like them so much.

Speaking of old men embarrassing themselves... boy, someone should really take Pearl Jam behind the barn and commit the Merciful Act on them (they have a "new" "rock" "album" out, that's why I mention)...

I hadn't heard much up until your post, but it had been mostly good. I guess it's pretty bad?

Either way I probably won't check it out. I lost interest after Vitalogy. Well, I really lost interest after Vs., because I went through this annoying phase in high school where I didn't think I could like contemporary bands that had signed to major labels. That ended when Built to Spill signed to Warner Bros., because I wasn't going to give up Built to Spill for some bullshit anti-corporate stance. But Vitalogy is the last album I really like.

Van Morrison. Hm. Some of my friends love him, and I love him, because of exposure as a child. Others of my friends, whose parents did not listen to Van Morrison in their childhood, think that he is HORRIBLE.

Astral Weeks is one of my favorite records ever. He can be pretty annoying though.

Oh and the Doors. Most of my friends with similar tastes hate them, and I get it too. But I really like LA Woman, and their first album.

Yeah, the doors first album is soo good.  ill take a no comment on the others.

Oh, shit. I've got a story.

I hate Pearl Jam. Last week, I was listening to the radio, and I thought I was listening to Kings of Leon, who I love, but then the song ended and the DJ (is... that the right term?) said it was Pearl Jam, one of their brand new songs. I kinda blew a gasket and spend the next ten minutes attempting to rationalize my liking this song. In the end I decided that liking one of their songs wasn't a crime, and let myself off the hook.

Ha ha, don't you hate it when that happens?

[theinevitable]

wait, is Kings of Leon drifting towards metal-ish-hard-rock, or is Pearl Jam getting dancey, or am I confusing Kings of Leon with some other band??

Pearl Jam's first album was completely written before Eddie Vedder joined the band.  It's a great album.  Vedder quickly exerted his control over the band and they started sucking as a result.  It took a couple more albums before he had totally ruined them.

This reminds me of something I saw on Twitter from hotdogsladies: Something my pal Jonathan taught me: 1. Sing "Evenflow!" like Eddie Vedder 2. Now, instead sing, "Trader Joe's!" 3. Now, try to stop.

...shit

Shouldn't that be posted in the Earworms thread?
