Not the strongest singers on the planet, but a lot of great songs.
Thumbs up.

i once owned fight songs and sattelite rides. Traded 'em both in. Nothing really bad about them, but I thought the songs were entirely forgettable.

I have a couple of albums by them. The only one I really listen to is Too Far to Care. And it's good.

I've got a couple.. never listen to them. To me they are like Drive By Truckers... kinda dated in a pleasant way. Sometimes a little noisy without a money shot. Not a lot to dislike.... a lot to like, but little memorable.

Too Far To Care is a fucking classic. You must put down whatever new garbage they are peddling now and pick that one up.

Like 'em enough. They're a good band to see live. I don't listen to their albums too much though. I agree with those who say they're albums are a bit forgettable.

I'm a fan.

I tried to find somebody of that sort that I could like that nobody else did - because everybody would adopt his group, and his group would be _it_; someone weird like Captain Beefheart. It's no different now - people trying to outdo ! each other in extremes. There are people who like X, and there are people who say X are wimps; they like Black Flag.

Damn. Lotta love for that record. I have Fight Songs and Satellite Rides and like them a lot. I'll have to remedy this Too Far To Car situation.
