What in the actual hell are you talking about?

I know you’re not referring to 10:15 Saturday Night

I have a vast memory bank of useless knowledge.


I use to read all liner info if the band provided it. Black Crowes Southern Harmony, under band notes it list all the instruments that the band members play. Under Ed Harsch it say Piano, B3 Wurlitzer, and Rolling Papers. They listed a witness for any Defensive or prosecuting attorney. Drinks by Johnny Wongs

The three best songs on an all-time great album.

Yeah, great. I read that before i first played it and followed the instruction to the detriment of one of my woofers when it sounded like a teacup rattling on a saucer as the chimes for Plainsong faded. Thanks Bob.

Great album. But as I’ve grown older, I’m thinking Wish is their most complete album.

Perhaps this is known to those interested in this thread, but note that Fascination Street was inspired by their time on Bourbon Street.

Wow. I've got wish CD in the car right now (I hit "repeat" on song 4, over and over) and was thinking the other day that, top to bottom, TO ME, it may have more, better songs. There are a few on Disintegration that don't do it for me.
Fewer great songs on Wish, though.
