Dude, I wore out my cassette of "Sports". And no once admits it, but everyone likes that first Hootie album.


Nerd.

Oh, and I'll admit to the first Hootie album. I have it. I still play it. I've karaoke'd once in my life...Only Wanna Be With You.

Damn Globule. No, everyone did not like the first Hootie album.

While Hold My Hand got more spins than some people's moms it still sucked.

My pathetic little life only requires one album to satisfy me:

That's the live one, right? YES, that IS a fantastic album. How did I forget that one? DS really likes that, too.

Yes, that's the one! Brian Wilson is a great running song.

Strangely enough I've never really liked any of their regular studio albums. They're really funny live though.

There are three kinds of people in the world:

a) People who like Cracked Rear View
2) People who say that hate Cracked Rear View, but secretly like it.
D) People who hate Cracked Rear View with every fiber of their being, but at a deep subconscious level, actually like it without ever realizing it.

You, my brother, are the third. Tongue

John Frusciante - Smile From the Streets You Hold


I did not know Frusciante had any solo stuff. I think he's one of the best current guitarists out there.
