A friend of mine's band started off as almost Church rip-off in the early eighties. The Church had some very good songs. I seem to remember some pretty cool album art too.

"Ungarded Moment" springs to mind as a good song.

The Church, Tear it all away is good too.

Maybe it's just me looking back, but I think they had some good songs.

Like, bordering on ancient you're so old.


I'm 33 and listen to anything but Garth Brooks - present "Country".    Kind of funny because last week I had a conversation with a 65 year old man about Willie Dixon.   He straight up said "I didn't think many white guy's cared about the old Blues."   We probably talked for about an hour about various styles of music and influences.

Roger that.  I have EC's "From The Cradle" in my Z right along with Jimmie Vaughan's "Do You Get The Blues?" which won grammy for best blues album that year.  I also have those with Band Of Gyspies "Live At The Filmore" (the double CD) and BB King's "Live At The Regal".  Great stuff man, timeless.

lol :D :D :cry






Are you saying the Church is emo? sigh

They are probably the most underated musicians still alive.

If you play, take a listen to that album and be inspired.




Just gotta love the narrowminded people that haven't a clue wtf their talking about.

Now go back to your radio top 40.


are you trying to tell me
you cant judge a record by it's cover?
maybe not, i just wanted to pull off the emo-icon thing, but dont call me narrowminded.
people have told me i have a big head & i once defended Traffic's The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys as "not gay" - the high heeled is a reference to cowboy boots & it is teh gud muzik

- i forget, are cowboys still gay or has that worn off yet?

That album cover for "the best of mor-sissy" cracks me up. That guy is an ugly mo-fo.

That cover screams "IM GAY!"

I wonder what look he was going for? Where is that left arm? Mayb his hand is giving himself a reach around.

I never understood what the big deal was about that band. I was a freshmen in HS in '79 and remember the "buzz: about them. I got all excited, until I heard them.

to me the cover says "i'm leaning on this wall & i'm not happy about it:mad: "
but if you rotate it 90 degrees clockwise, maybe it says "i've fallen & i cant get up"

Pffft Garth lives less that 2 miles from me. Drank long neck Buds with him once after balin hay. Great sense of Humor. He's just regular folk around here... the way he likes it.

BTW I couldn't tell ya a song he sings....

You outta see the spread of land he got his Mom...sweet.

That's why I love it here.

Maybe your mind is skewed.   First, I RARELY listen to country.   If I do, it's not "recent country".   IMO, Garth Brooks ruined country music with the commercialized hits.   Newer "country acts" are nothing more than pop wannabes.    Gimme Hank, Hank Jr, Merle Haggard, willie Nelson, Alabama, Chet Atkins, etc.

Only Traffic album IMO better than Low Spawk is John Barleycorn Must Die.   Winwood and the late Jim Capaldi were amazing.

Not sure which band I detest more... The Police or Steely Dan. I'll stubb a toe running to the radio to change the station if I hear either one. And be happy about it.
