Never heard of her. I do agree that TCU sucks.
I don't think anyone has posted about Marvin Wilson in this thread yet. If Marvin Wilson was a hotdog, would you all eat him?
They're pretty damned good i must say.

Completely agree. I just think it is amazing that in a market as large as DFW we can't have a decent rock station.

They're up there. Their two night show at the old Gypsy Tea Room in Deep Ellum in like 2005 or 6 was amazing.
Saw Jim James solo at the Dallas HOB recently. Incredible show. His recent solo album is really good.
Gary P Nunn is totally unappreciated on this board.

yep, the double show was 2006. I was on the front row, and still have Carl's picks. I can't count how many times I have seen them, but they never, ever disappoint.JasonPhillips said:LateSteak69 said:

I highly recommend a book called "All The Songs" that discusses every song recorded by the Beatles. It tells the genesis of each song, who wrote it, who sang lead, who sang backup, who played which instruments, who was the producer and who was the engineer and recording tidbits. Fascinating read.Crash Davis said:Ok, a minor point of clarification, but what most people would consider the Beatles "silly little love song" phase (Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Days Night, etc.) was really pretty revolutionary. Sure, there were some songs during those early years that didn't have a lot of meat on the bone, but there were also a lot of songs that were sneakily-complex. "I Saw Her Standing There" was a pretty wild track for 1963. The usage of Aeolian cadences (whether intentional or not) in "It Won't Be Long." "All My Loving" stands the test of time. "From Me to You" is pretty unique. "I Feel Fine" might have been the first use of recorded feedback and has a great riff.The Hound said:

The Lennon-McCartney debate is almost an impossible question to answer. And yes, when someone is asking who the best Beatle is/was it is a Lennon-McCartney debate...George Harrison was massively talented and one of the most underrated musicians of all-time, but his catalog simply does not stack up.
I am a slight McCartney lean, although I think Lennon is the "cooler" answer. It is kind of funny, if you ask me what I think the 10 best Beatles songs are I would guess 7 or so would be songs that were primarily composed by Lennon..."In My Life", "Strawberry Fields", "A Day in the Life", etc. But McCartney's diversity as a song writer simply astounds me. The same guy that wrote "Back in the USSR" wrote "Elenor Rigby"? The same guy that wrote "Mother Nature's Son" wrote "Oh Darling"? The same guy that wrote "Honey Pie" wrote "Helter Skelter"? I'm sure I'll get slaughtered for even bringing up "Honey Pie", and it is not even in my top 100 favorite McCartney tracks because I don't listen to 1930s music hall/ragtime music, but I can acknowledge how incredible it is that he was able to write good songs in pretty much any genre he wanted. McCartney is the most talented and diverse musician of the 20th century.
Paul was a pop icon, John was a rocker, sometimes darker than others and George may have written some of the best songs the group laid down. And Ringo was a solid drummer.

The Beatles were the right band at the right time and thank goodness they were...as they paved the way for true greatness from Britain that followed. While I think the Beatles sound leaned too pop for my taste, I can certainly appreciate why they were so beloved. However, I don't think they came close to creating a rock album that holds up to the Stones' Exile on Mainstreet or Let it Bleed.
If I could go back and see a band live that I never got to see live...it would be Zeppelin. They were significant for so many reasons...and I would have loved to see Plant on stage. My favorite Zeppelin album is probably Houses of the Holy...have always been partial to that one, although a tough choice.
Van Morrison is the standard, for me. True greatness.

From where? The FT line? 3 point? Top of the key?
I would take Rick Barry from the FT line. Larry Bird from 3. Reggie Miller from anywhere else.
But I could be persuaded otherwise.

Irrelevant, assuming I am armed as well.

Brady Heslip or Lace Dunn.
I'd agree with Byrd. Guy could make some of the most impossible shots ever.

Larry Bird...and it's not close. He's not the greatest player of all time (although he's one of the best 6 or 8), but I've never seen anyone better in the clutch.GoldMind said:

Yea, I'm giving it to Robert Horry. CLUTCH.

I swear dude could hardly dunk. That he was so good sort of defies logic. He probably had like 12" of vertical lol.
He was also one of the best **** talkers of all time.
Clearly the correct answer is Manute BolGoldMind said:

George Martin? Would we even recognize their sound without him?
George Harrison was great. He wrote two of my favorite songs in My Sweet Lord and Here Comes the Sun
Was anyone else at Baylor when the Spin was there? Talk about nostalgia. Those parties/shows were a lot of fun.
