Thread: Green Day "Bullet in a Bible"

I don't know if you mean "unnoticed" by yourself, or by the rest of listeners, but they've been pretty big for quite a while. I guess I first heard their stuff in 1994. "Dookie" was their breakout album in that year. I bought "Nimrod" in 1997, too.

I'm a big fan of the "1990s rock." Nirvana, Soundgarden, Silverchair, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon, etc.

Then there's the older rock. I've got hundreds of old LPs in my collection. You name it, I've got it.

Got anything by Legs Diamond?

Gary - My daughter turned me on to GD back in the eighties. Good stuff.
btw, I saw Tull in concert a couple of times in the seventies at the Forum.

JL - agree on SRV

I have all SRV's recordings (I think) and I find each one absolutely brilliant. His style and tone has not been equalled since he died.
Having said that John Mayer's early acoustic stuff is pretty impressive and his version of 'Lenny' on his live DVD is outstanding.

Music from Big Pink by The Band. Man am I showing my age!
$10 for a baggie!

They say that a sure sign that you are getting old is when you don't have to enter a music shop to buy the albums you want cause they are all in the bargain bins out the front.

No, the worst thing is when you get into the elevator, you're tapping your feet and whistling along to the tune wondering "hmm, that sounds familiar" when all of a sudden you realize what it is... and the last time you heard it was at 100+ decibels with screaming guitars out of a stack of refrigerator sized speakers in some squalid little hole in the wall drunk out of your mind with a half naked redhead who didn't even have a name wrapped around you... and now... it's elevator music.
