Never even thought about that, but it's pretty damn near equal for me. Rain Dogs and Bone Machine, in particular, nail their themes so perfectly.

I only know one song by them.

I still cannot shake the Pavlovian effects of "Wake Up".
Oh, and I like Funeral and Neon Bible.

I'd be better off listing the songs on Blood that I dislike than the ones I like... it's one of my favorite albums.
That being said, I totally get why people "appreciate" Dylan over actively liking him, that much is certain.

Now two of my favorite quotes about sex come from you. Crack-up job.

The ending to Wake Up feels like one of those 80s songs with the up tempo beat but that was gloriously depressing and shoegazey. Does that make sense? It's ok if you think I'm nuts on that one.
As for Dylan. I don't get it, I grew up on him, was deluged with him, and I can still sit thru hours of it and love it. Just me, I guess.

I heard that song some time before I went to see U2, and I couldn't get into it. It's now one of my favorite songs of the decade. Coincidence?

Madonna kissing Xtina was hotter than Madonna kissing Brittney.
Madonna kissing ARod is just gross.

I'd heard it once, right before the first show on the Vertigo Tour. I then heard it another 15 times or so, all at U2 shows. So, yeah.

BTW, while we're on the subject, Coldplay tacking Chinese Sleep Chant onto the end of Yes was 10 times more awkward than the ending of Wake Up. That still cracks me up whenever I hear it. Talk about shooting for musical composition status and failing.

Out of curiosity, what was the other?

That you had a use a protractor to have sex with a pregnant wife. More of a paraphrase than a quote, but it's still funny nonetheless.

What? No way! That sound at the end of Yes as Sleep Chant begins is awesome! Besides, they're almost like 2 different songs.

Well that totally makes sense now why you hate the ending, I mean, U2 obviously does too...

The only thing I agree with.
If you'd agreed with nothing; my opinions would been completely unpopular and my dreams of complete indieness would of been fulfilled
The songs sound better live at least...
I guess I need to add another one
The ending of Wake Up is insanely awesome

I actually did not comment on the ending, but, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the ending. And, you're not completely wrong, actually....I finally listened to the whole song after the tour, heard the end for the first time and was all "WTF?".

I just picked up a used copy of Michigan!I'm looking forward to hearing it, finally.
Pfft. Buckley was talented. He was very talented! But his pre-death output was not nearly so outstandingly amazing that he should have been elevated to such sainted status, with every lip fart and murmur he ever recorded to have been released poshumously.
Well, as one who saw him perform many times during all stages of his career, I really disagree. I went to his memorial service and the outpouring of grief was astonishing. Most anyone who saw him perform more than once could see he was special and fans have demanded all these posthumous releases, and I haven't seen these releases particularly over-hyped but perhaps I haven't followed it closely. I also admit that I'm not particularly objective since he was also a neighbor and an acquaintance, and I adored him. But I do appreciate that the material we're left with is somewhat uneven. I just think his best was yet to come.

That and the "Sicy, no need to add" after you posted the picture of an old Asian guy was great, too.
