Criminally Underated Song #1

NIRVANA - YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT I think this song (Along with Do Re Mi) showed that if circumstances allowed, the 4th album would have been another masterpiece from Nirvana. Grohl's Druming has never sounded better, Cobains voice sounds as pained and raw as eve...

First Timers

Who do you think will finally chart this year from a band that's never charted before? (excluding newcomers) I think Apples in Stereo and (Obviously) Of Montreal and Blonde Redhead.

Most overrated genre

Hey, why not? For me, it's classic rock. can't stand it. Led Zep, Deep purple etc. next would be jazz. I don't get jazz at all.

I'll be there for you/ You're all I need to get by

Well, in my opinion this is just one song (in fact I've got the 12" of it). So why is this song listed two times in the Top 3000? First at #668 as Method Man feat. Mary J. Blige "You're all I need to get by" and then at #1208 as Method Man feat. Mary J. Blige "I'll...

Who here plays an instrument?

I play guitar. When i was younger i played piano, but unfortunately i didn't keep it up. Still play a little bit every now and then, but i'm not very good at it. Lately i've been really wanting to learn bass. Maybe when i have a little more money i'll get myself one.
