Why do so many posts reference me?Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostYeah it was a nice gesture by Gaffer .... but let's face it ... I don't think anyone is this draft would ask for it back. Chance was never going to ask Gaffer to give it up. Even Mith wouldn't ask for his favourite Rush record back in a similar situation

I needed an example of a drafter who has an extreme liking for one particular band to make the point.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostWhy do so many posts reference me?

I am pretty insane about Neil Young, but my level of insanity about Neil Young relative to the insanity of others in this draft about Neil Young isn't as great as Mith's insanity about Rush relative to the insanity of others in this draft about Rush. Same with DMT/Bowie, Sheep/Stones, etc. Thus "Mith = insane about Rush" is our go-to trope.

Hey, don't get me wrong -- I like Big Star. I liked Alex Chilton in the Box Tops. I like Chris Bell's solo work. I think they got a raw deal. I just think that if others were around at the same time doing the same thing, then it had to come from someplace else. I think it's cool REM is influenced by them, because if they weren't, then we may never have heard of Big Star.Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View PostComment

It's all good. I'm glad you posted that little history lesson. I even picked Chris Bell's album in the 80s/90s draft.Originally posted by revo View PostI'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

I really like the two bands often cited as indebted to Big Star: REM and Teenage Fanclub. But they've never clicked with me. I will keep trying though. It doesn't makes sense that I don't love that band. I'm sure the stars will align one day.Comment

wow. that's intense. were bowie shows that good?
or is the guy just nuts about bowieIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
