(Title taken from a Rheostatics' song)
I was sitting here watching the Colbert Report today, and he had REM as a guest.
That's one band I've always really liked, even though I haven't bought many of their albums.
This got me to thinking of some other bands that I really like and know, and although I don't have many (or any) of their albums, here are still some of my "other favorites".
The list would be as follows :
Neil Young - A legendary Canadian singer whose lyrics are like no other.
U2 - One of the world's biggest bands, I had the pleasure of seeing these guys play in Calgary years ago.
The Dead Kennedys - A classic punk band. It's interesting to think what would have happened if Jello Biafra actually won his political seat....
Nirvana - They have too many good songs to list.
The Pixies - Another band whose reunion tour was too short.
Rush - Finally making another appearance after 25 years here in Winnipeg. They were mad that their last show only attracted 6000 people, and vowed to never return. On second thought - do we want them here?!?
The Sex Pistols - A must have for any "mad at your parents & I wanna be a rebel" teenager.
Tom Petty - Classic easy listening American rocker
This post really made my day. The more I think about music, the happier I get. Who are some of your "other favorites"?
This title describes everything. If somebody is acting crazy, if you're just not feeling right, if you are feeling right, what keeps me employed. It's the meds.

My main "other band" is The Beautiful South. Not sure about their international fame, I doubt you will have heard of them. A fun band with some very quirky songs such as "I love you but you're boring".
