Springsteen, Clash, Dylan, BOC, and R.E.M. -

I rarely play them nowadays (and most often in alternative or live versions); but still find them worthwhile.
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

I fucking loathe the Doors.


Me too.

Same here. I was surprised to learn that Greil Marcus devoted a whole book to them.

Pretentious, all too self-conscious, and often plain boring.

Edit: here's a recent interview. Greil Marcus asks Robert Christgau:

Interesting interview, but unless I missed it, neither mentions the Doors.

It doesn't. Christgau can't stand the Doors, and I'm surprised that Marcus wrote a book about them. Turns out it's been out for years and I never heard of it. That doesn't bode well... :lol:
