shit you're spinning that you haven't listened to in a while

since i'm in my final year of school at wmu, i've been on numerous nostalgia trips, including music. my period of musical enlightenment began in 01-02 when i discovered live pearl jam and it continues to this day. although i am in love with so many different bands that have come around lately, i have been spinning some shit that i haven't listened to in a few years. some good fucking memories:
flaming lips: soft bulletin and yoshimi. the lips are the first indie band i ever discovered. to think i saw the lips twice in one week and a total of three times in six weeks in 03 just blows my mind. they (like tool) are hardcore due for a tour. what a great band. i just wish i could hear more SB live, like what is the light-->the observer (heard once in pittsburgh, would kill to hear it again), sleeping on the roof, feeling yourself disintigrate. epic shit.
attn: psufan/pittsburgh natives, ever been to metropol? good shit, almost got kicked out for firing up a joint in the middle of the floor during the FL. this was my first small venue experience and after attending all the arena shows, i thought sparking during concerts was standard fare everywhere. oops. but lips at the pol = good shit.
speaking of tool, i have been listening to salival lately. third eye is quite possibly their most epic song live. 15 solid minutes that kicks your ass the whole way through. runner up award to pushit. possibly one of the most technically superior bands of our generation.
blind melon: self titled. people dog them for no rain, but they were so much more than that. dear ol dad and deserted are probably their two most epic songs, right up with galaxie and mouthful of cavities. RIP shannon, way too early.
depeche mode: violator. like seeing PJ pre-no code, i only wish i would have been old enough to see DM on the violator tour. enjoy the silence...nuff said.
american football: self titled. not a huge emo fan, but i'm a huge mike kinsella fan and the AF album continues to blow my mind. great guitar work and beautiful songwriting.
hum: downward is heavenward. pretty much the late 90s rush: progressive as fuck with a ton of neil young-style distortion included (ok maybe not so much rush). isle of the cheetah and if you are to bloom are as epic as it gets.
radiohead: ok computer. the greatest non-concept concept album to be released. how the tourist plays into airbag if you play the album twice through is sick shit. not to mention let down, karma police, paranoid android, electioneering, lucky, and climbing up the walls. shivers every time i listen to this album.
last but not least: rush: 9-27-84 capital center, landover. THE greatest rush bootleg ever. best way to convert a pseudo-rush fan: have them listen to enemy within and between the wheels live. if you aren't down with rush after listening to this boot, then you are just an idiot.
war great music. i truly pity dudes who don't enjoy music (we all know of one, instead they enjoy shitty mainstream movies because they lack the brain matter/attention span). they are missing out on life!
