In terms of songwriting the Pumpkins are far better in my opinion (sorry if my post doesn't reek of indie snobbery :D).

Thank you.

ha! repped!!!!

and agreed.......

natures kids and they have no function....

stone temple pilots, elegant batchelors...........

i refuse to listen to the pumpkins because they are awful and billy no mates corgan actually was very rude to steve malkmus about the range life song calling him a waster and a stoner trying to be a rock star.......... it was in nme or something around the summer of 1992, i thought it was a tad....... ironic!

im not sure what part of that sentence to comment on first!!!!

ill leave it lie!;)

haircut one hundred and living in a box to reform and play double headliners.....

nah, i'd take the worst of pavement over the best of pumpkins.

Correct. If youre going to sing about nothing you should do it with some flair, which i think Pavement do.
And yeah, expect 3 dates at the Roundhouse by the end of 2008.

3rd King Crimson: Fripp, Bill Bruford, David Cross, John Wetton.

Yes!!! And with Palmer-James writing the lyrics! Bravo! At least one small problem, sadly: Bill Bruford's been dead almost a decade!

From more 'recent' years: Live Skull, Band of Susans, and Eric's Trip. (And I think it's about time some initiative was taken to collect and reissue all those old Eric's Trip 7", 12" and cassette-only releases.)

Fugazi is the only band that I can think of right now. Because I know they'd make a fantastic record, where as alot of the bands I may want to reform, may ruin their image for me if they were to make a stinker.

Wow! That's great! He's really alive--'back from the dead', as it were, considering as how he was a Jeopardy clue some 6 or 7 years ago:

"Sadly, this former drummer for progressive rockers Yes and King Crimson passed away in 1997(?)."

Or something like that. The exact anawer-question now eludes me.

I seem to recall his 'death' getting mentioned on Much Music as well....

Boz died in 2006 and Ian Wallace early this year, thats it for dead Krimso
