It'll be quite awhile before I think of Smashing Pumpkins as "iconic."

I like them quite a bit, but they don't stand on top of the icon hill flashing neon like a Dyan or Young or Stones or Beatles or Kinks or Who or Cohen, etc.

Well, we'll just have to wait & see to how many responses you get to this post before you go knocking songs/groups off the list. :wink:

Oh, it's a good song and all. I just thinks it's funny how "iconic" status has moved all the way up to Billie Joe Armstrong-level with some peoples.

I had one guy explain to me yesterday how he prefers the "classic days of Collective Soul-Live" sounds to "today's crap."

Hey, cool tune. Thanks.

It's lyrically and emotionally Waitsian, but sound and excecution-moodwise it's much more Lambchop-East River Pipe-Eels.

Anyway, I'll have to checkout more of this guy.

It's "Mansion On The Hill" with bits of Pink Floyd's "Money" snuck in.

Well ok then.

At the rate Skid Row are going, soon they'll have more studio albums with the new guy than they did with Bach.

'Thick Skin' was horrendous, and I just heard the one coming out in a few weeks, and its even worse.....but at least they are making music.

sebastian has put out one solo cd, which was basically a live record, performing skid row songs with 5 or 6 new tunes on it... fuck sebastian. fuck new skid row.

old skid row however was the bomb!!!

Don't know this group, I don't think. What's the song name?

If it's genuine jangle pop and not just some post-millenial adolescent thin-whiner pale version of jangle pop, I'll want to hear them.

It's the former. They're an excellent band. They have an EP called "All Songs Written By: Human Television" and a full-length "Look At Who You're Talking To" that came out early this year. My favorite on the new one is called "In Front Of The House."

You mean Trials And Errors? If so, that's early 2005, but there must be something on the new rekkid that's as Crazy Horse as it gets. Haven't heard it yet.

Apparently, the new Elton John actually sounds like the Elton John of yore... meaning: GOOD.

Can anyone verify this?
