Sugar. The tightest and possibly least attractive band of the 90s.

that first sugar record was great...for sure...as for Bob, well, have a lot of history and many friends involved...I will just say Bob, like Neil , has his faults...Bob is about Bob...but then again he was even like that way back in the Husker days...always a bit of a control freak when it came to Grant and songwriting...but what the hell...haven't heard much interesting stuff for a bit tho from Bob...could be wrong...

Every Everything was enlightening, fascinating, heartbreaking and disturbing.

The disco club stuff Bob was doing was interesting. He's been in a holding pattern but the quality's there. Also, as a kid from a misogynistic, conservative background, BM normalized a whole way of being for me. The professional wrestling thing was weird tho.

In the comforts of my own home I enjoy my stereo system. In My PU I enjoy the sound system playing whatever I can dial up which is not taking place in a nice quite atmosphere. I can't groove without tunes and I really don't care about the format. Sorry Neil.

Love the guy’s passion about what he’s passionate about. But, he probably made a lot, if not most, of his net worth when cassette tapes were the preferred format. Let’s not quibble about streaming audio quality 40 years later.

Don't keep us in suspense, who are your friends in SY?

I hope it isn't Kim AND Thurston, because that would make for some pretty awkward get-togethers.

not trying to keep anyone in suspense...not at all as all fairly meaningless now...but certainly no reason in this thread to talk about my crap...I was in a band called Volcano Suns...we played with Husker Du, Minutemen and Sonics big black buttholes all the time and toured etc...so yes, all friends from long way back...same record labels etc and lots of time on road...long time ago...

Serious street cred. I listened to your band but never saw you on tour. This so explains your sometimes curmudgeonly-ness. All is understood.

Very cool! I'm a big fan, that's a great band. If you were in the band when you toured with the Minutemen, I might very well have seen you--I saw the Suns on the Bright Orange tour in '85 or '86 (probably was '86), and possibly again (it all kind of blurs together). Both Bright Orange Years and All Night Lotus Party are great records, and your whole catalog is solid (I'm assuming you're not Peter Prescott or Bob Weston!). I've got a good friend who's also a big Suns fan.

Sounds as if you were in the band early, based on the other bands you mention, but if you don't feel like getting into it, no worries.

My cousin was the best man at Neil Young's daughter's wedding. He tells a story of sitting in the groomsmen room with Neil and trying to not sound or act like a super fan. He said he was a very good person.

Back to Neil. He's got a gift and is one of the few performers that can hypnotize thousands of people with just an acoustic guitar and his voice.

As for sound quality, he's dead right. If you've never heard a great vinyl record on a superb system you haven't ever heard reproduced music in all its potential glory. And a great turntable/arm/cartridge doesn't wear out records. Records handled and played properly will far outlast CDs. And turntables don't crash, at least not in the same ways as digital storage media.
