Meat Puppets – II – The eighties odyssey continues. This is unlike any other album in my collection, that’s for sure. The lead singer wanders around in some songs, not quite on-key, sounding a little bit like a less excitable version of Brak. I like it with all that, though. Obviously I first heard of these guys when they appeared with Nirvana on the Unplugged album, and I had always kinda, sorta wondered what the originals of Plateau, Oh Me, and Lake of Fire sounded like. Now I know, so cross another life goal off the list I guess. |
Random Ten Songs
Rolling Stones – Moonlight Mile
Yo-Yo Ma & Diana Krall – You Couldn’t be Cuter

Funny, about a week ago I finally picked up Meat Puppets II. I had it in college (that dates me I guess) but it never made the transition from vinyl to CD to digital. Great Album.

I have a cassette tape of a Meat Puppets concert at First Avenue from about 1988 or so. The show melts-your-face-off rocks

I, too, have Meat Puppets ll in vinyl. I now have it digital as well. Great record.
Thanks for the Heartless Bastards clip. That was swell.
Free,
My little brother learned the guitar solo to “One” and he would play it constantly whenever he picked up the guitar. As soon as I saw it on your list, I started humming that solo.
Andrew,
Burning Bright is a bit slower than the one Shinedown song I know – “.45”. A pretty good song though.
E-6,
I wondered when Deerhoof would make an appearance on your lists.
Thanks for sharing your lists guys, sorry I didn’t respond a bit sooner, busy weekend.
