eta: I hate to use phrases like "The best rock band in history," but really, who else comes close?
I am a heretic, because I don't like the Stones. I like their songs, but Mick's voice does nothing for me, and frequently actively bugs me.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ramones? Stooges? AC/DC? Hmmm....Pixies?
For pure riffs only AC/DC had as many great ones.
For depth of songbook, only the Ramones can stay close.
For impact and influence only the Stooges and maybe Zeppelin or Sabbath.

Thanks for the kind words from earlier, y'all.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Congratulations, Corwood.
And now, for the reason de-post: you can listen to the entire new Breeders album on their myspace. Yay!

If you're going to include the Stooges, then you need to add the Velvets.
Hmmm....Pixies?
I like the Pixies, but have always thought they were overhyped.
Oh, and YAY CORWOOD!

You know, much as I like the Stones I gotta go there too.
Of course, I've been earworming about 5 different Quadrophenia songs on a rotating basis for a few weeks now (along with Entwistle's bass solo in My Generation), so I'm not exactly objective on this. But, yeah!

along with Entwistle's bass solo in My Generation
"5:15" is an even better Entwhistle solo, I think.
