Since I am a self-proclaimed music snob, I have this ongoing argument with my friend Jessica, and it is this:\n\nConor Oberst of bright Eyes has been called the Latest Next Bob Dylan. In fact, one person went so far as to say, "Some people say he's the new Dylan... I don't think so. I think Dylan's the old Conor." \nHe is a talented songwriter; that fact is undisputable. The question is, \nis his singing inspired and heart-felt, or is he virtually talentles in the vocal department? \n\nI'm all for his voice, myself. \n\nPlease help settle the debate!

The thing is.. he's just got such a whiny bastard voice - and ug, pretension. I like my pretension and whine perfectly mixed. He's just a bit too much of both for me.\n\nI mean, I guess he's heart-felt enough and the hipsters sure are feeling it.

First of all, I would like to address the fact that this person may not spell the BEST, but they are, nevertheless, asking a question. If you have already seen someone who has commented on someone else's spelling, then why must you continue to point out the obvious? I have seen so many people on here comment on the spelling issue, and in retrospect, you STILL understood the question, and some have even answered it. So, why not give this person a break? Because no matter how many times it is mentioned about the spelling, it is STILL there. So to keep pointing it out is really dumb.\n\nAnyway, now that I have said that, I would like to say that Toby Keith's song is really good. I can relate to some of the words in the song because it is something that I would like to say to some people who think that they have gotten the best of me. I just would like to tell them " How do you like me now that I am on top?" I like this song, and I like his album. I hope that he continues to create more great music like this. I also think  that the video is awesome because he tells the stuck-up girl off. It's really nice!!

It's good.  I don't know whether it's up to the standards that I've set in my mind for tool's music, but it doesn't suck.  I'll have to hear it a few more times (and again when the come to Dallas on May 8th!!!!) to really decide.\nIt sounds like Lateralis with a little Undertow mixed in.

I like them both for different reasons.  More emphasis is usually put on Dylan because of the time.  But I think Neil Young is just as good a writer and musician as Bob Dylan.  If I had to pick I would pick Neil Young.  He seems to be much more versatile than Dylan.  He has done so many different types of music and to me a sense of evolution is what makes a musician great.  The fact that he can go through so many changes and his music still holds up.

What an excellent song!  So true how we are all raised in various ways, and we all make different choices.  Not that I agree with all the choices, but that's the way our broad aspect of life is.  I can't say that I identify totally with either brother, as one chose the dark paths of life (not me) and the other was very devoted to God (I was in mind, but not in action).  But I love the verse "Welcome home, said the hot moonlight/We were born and raised in black and white/One lives to pray, one prays for life..."  Very poetic!\n\nThank you for sharing this song.  I don't know if you wrote it or are just sharing an existing song with the rest of us to see our thoughts on it.  But I very much enjoyed it.

Well, he was on Oprah and told her that the song was about his ex girlfriend.  That kind of makes me think he has serious stalker potential.  I am not really fond of the song anyway.  It kinda sound whinny to me.  But, I guess that I am in the minority.

I was moved to tears by all three of his renditions of ♪Jingle Bells♪ so he must have made the right choice.\n\nSnoopy though? Now, there's a drummer. He could be the next Keith Moon, I tell you!

Procal Harum crafted an unknowable piece of poetry with those lyrics. Perhaps those words don't even make sense to the songwriter(s). I don't know. I think the fun is in the mystery. That song probably means something different to everyone who has ever heard it.

Some quality picks mate, very good tracks, well impressed.\n\nOthers you might want to give a whirl are Parisienne Walkways (Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore), Perfect Day (Lou Reed), Brothers in Arms (Dire Straits), Hotel California (the Eagles), Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) and Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd).\n\nThey're the ones off the top of my head. I'll check my I-tunes when I get home n post any more.

Good evening, Ireland calling...\n\nRonan here, im diggin the new album, although i have to say that i wasnt too sure about the almost electonic-ish edge to some of the songs, however, i have listened to it numerous times now and i have very much warmed to it.  Ive always admired their pioneering low end sound and if you got a good sound system there is no better band to listen to in my mind, the crunchy chalky low end is just awesome and gets into every part of you.\n\nIn "Coming Undone" i really like the Queen - Rock You" beat thats in there.  Can you imagine that with 6000 people booming along with them?  Stomp stomp clap, stomp stomp clap...  Awesome...  And in "Getting Off", 10 seconds into the song, have you ever HEARD something so low and powerful as Fieldys bass?  Awesome squared!\n\nI have to say that im slightly biased in favour of them because they are my favourite band anyway, but thats fine i reckon.  Cant wait to hear some of the new album here in Ireland in 2006, bring it on!  Are you ready?

ok. so i noticed a lot of johnny depp answers. he's one of the best, but he ain't what i would consider a "young" actor. he's 43.  maybe young compared to the likes of sean connery and kirk douglas.  if there's no line between actor actress then dakota fanning.  if there is then i go spencer breslin.\nas for the best young singer?\ncan't think of any current teenagers that are any good... or that i'd want to listen to.

Listening to it now ( jeepers!! It's been a long time since I played this CD.. ) Just by listening to it I couldn't really decide, I could definitely "see" your point, but it didn't really convince me..\n\nThen I thought to open up the cd cover and see whether the lyrics were printed inside.. They are, and according to the cover it's:\n "Who could be proud of this blank generation\nwho could be proud of you blank"\n\nListening to it after reading that and I definitely hear "you blank" every time...

Umm.  I don't.  But his next two songs "Him" and "Answering Machine" I did like.\n\nYou know he wrote that song Timothy about canibalism...

I agree, there's something about the heavy rock voice that blows everyone else away, and albums like "Machine head" have an operatic majesty that crappy little pop groups can't even touch\n\nBut crap vocals can be great too - just listen to Bob Dylan

I hate U2...self rightous bunch of muppets...\n\nMr. Everyone-else-should-feel-guilty-because-of-the-poverty-in-the-world-Bonio:\n\nU2 facts...U2facts.....U2facts.....U2facts....\n\nCocktails in the Octogan bar (he owns it in Dublin) $20 \nRooms in his hotel $500-$2000\nTickets to see U2 - $100-$1000\nHot Dog at gig: $10+\nBottle of water: $10\n\nListening to an aging rocker re-sing the two decent songs he wrote over 20 years ago for the 27,000 time....PRICELESS\n\nNo wonder there is so much poverty, everyone who has anything to do with U2 from a fan point of view is blooming broke....\n\nMay I just interject a further 'grrrrrrrrrrr' at this point and be done with it
