Jack Blades is great, and doesn't get nearly enough press around here.

I agree 200%!! Jack is a great singer, songwriter, bassist and entertaining as hell to watch onstage. One of three bassists that I list as influences. And I get funny looks every time I mention his name. :hmm:

He is the reason that I own and love a 31-year-old S.D.Curlee bass. A truely talented person....:bassist:

It's funny, that's one album that was off my list from the start. While I love the music, the sound itself doesn't hang together at all. You can just hear the space between and behind the sounds. Not the space you have to be sure to play, but the blank empty space that sucks the life from a track. It's one of those albums that I've got to listen to on sub-standard equipment to mask the production.

Definitely the "Big Two" Pink Floyd albums (Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) for me. It's like watching a movie, it's like, you shouldn't stop listening because all the songs put together tell a story.

I've seen the film version. That was pretty scary. The only music video I find scarier than the videos from that film is the Rock DJ video. I HATE that ****in' video.
