KRIS!!! Nice to see you. I'm with you on eMOTIVe. My fave is Fiddle and the Drum, then Imagine, then PL&U. I think Billy sounds sweet on that one. I got aMOTION, too, and as hide said, it's not too bad. I'm not usually a remix fan, but some of them are pretty cool. I like the ones for The Hollow.

Live Aid is great, but it has it's bad moments. Only it's bad moments with certain artists because I just don't like them, but the whole concert is amazing and for great, worthy cause. Eric Clapton is fantastic especially since he played White Room for the first time in 16 years! The Who are great, but their complete set wasn't show because some of it was lost, Bob Dylan wasn't at his best but good to me nonetheless, Dire Straits were very good, and a lot of other acts. Worth the money.

The Crossroads Guitar Festival is excellent! I can't say much more. You have to see the greatness for yourself. :D

MTV Plugged is the first time it's on DVD with a few new tracks. Bruce Springsteen in fine form as always.

Strange Pleasure was Jimmie Vaughan's first solo cd (he was in the Fabulous Thunderbirds), and it came out SRV's death. Pretty good cd, but I just love Six Strings Down and had to have the cd. Got it used to.

I only had VU's Loaded before this cd. I had heard a lot of tracks from it, really liked it, and thought it was time to get it. Even though this is usually most people's favorite VU album, or at least they prefer it over Loaded, I still have to go with Loaded.

Emotive by A Perfect Circle is my first APC album. I picked up a sample dvd that had a song, "Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm of The War Drums" playing as well. It gave a taste of both new releases. I liked the song a lot and was curious about their covers as well, so I bought the album. I really like it myself. For example, Imagine isn't as good as Lennon's original, but it's good I think. I like hearing the different take on the songs.

Electric Sweat by The Mooney Suzuki. The Mooney Suzuki are a great, young garage rock band. I like this album a lot.

Marah's album isn't as great as some made it out to be, but I like it. I can easily see in their stylistic approach how Bruce Springsteen is a major influence (they've been lucky enough to appear onstage with Bruce and he likes them), but they have a long way to go to be as good as him. The album just has it's weak parts that can't hold my attention. Still not bad.

I have that one, too, and it's a fun one. Good in the car.

BTW, don't judge APC on eMOTIVe...Their first two releases are much better, IMHO :D...

Yep, they are cool. Interesting little concert that comes with it to from the music store they played.

I've heard that, but I like Emotive enough that it actually makes me want to check out APC more.

That's cool. They have become one of my favorite groups. And they're very good live.

Good choice. A lot of fans seem tï like that one better than 13th Step, but I have a hard time picking a favorite :D. I love them both.

I think Mer De Noms is more accessible to the average rock fan.

I'm definitely not the average rock fan. :D
