I love this freakin song, man.  Not as much as 'A Girl in Port', but I dig it.

I enjoy this song. I just got the album, and it's pretty good throughout.

Agree with all of this except the Lions recommendation. I'd choose Amorica and Southern Harmony And Musical Companion as their greatest albums.
Agree with Southern Harmony. It's my favorite (by far) Crowes album, but I think Lions is at least as good as Amorica. Regradless, I'd love to hear more Black Crowes on RP.

Uh! Grooving in my office chair. I wish there were more reggae on RP, especially Burning Spear and Buju Banton. There is already a pretty good selection of Marley songs. Keep the Spear Burning!

Love Jeff Buckley. And Jeff loved Nina. He covers a few of her songs and does them all justice (I dare say he recorded better versions of some of her songs - esp. "Be My Husband").

I saw Alexi a few years ago, while he was touring on this EP, and he was great (if you like Nick Drake, and all). I don't know where the hell he went for the last few years, but I think he finally released a full-length this year. Have'nt heard it yet, though.

I love the Bruce and this is a brilliantly written song, but I also love this cover.  The accordian and Levon's voice just give it a really cool sound.

I absolutely love this version of this song.  I am a huge G.Harrison fan, and he wrote and recorded beautiful song in this one.  I just happen to think that Leon did a spectacular version as well.  The arrangement is more moving than Harrison's, in my opinion.  I suppose it's easier to add to an already great song than it is to write a great song, but I think it has been done a justice.  That opening salvo just slays me every time.

Boo.

Yeah.  Angst.  I remember it.  We're young, edgy, smarter than all you old folks and tough as boot leather.  When you geezers see us comin in our flannel shirts and work boots with our long, stringy hair waving in the wind like a Jolly Roger, you better know that we're here to stay and we ain't takin any more BS from you, The Establishment or our old man.  Generation X.  Changing the world.

Love Raul's voice.  So many parallels between his style and Roy Orbison's.

Worst. Song. Evah.

Mike Bloomfield makes my brain snap from it's cord and rattle about violently in my big ol' bucket head (you know, in a good way).

Sad bastard music.  It's not bad at all - just so wrist-slittin dreary.

Never gets old.  This song always has me singing along (poorly, but singing along).

Do. Not. Like.

I love Blues music.  This is more like someone clowning on the Blues.  Hotel lobby/Cruise ship/4th level of Hell appropriate.

Very sexy song.

There's A LOT of Elbow played here, anymore.  I like it, but man is it in heavy rotation.

Cool. I went from listening to Goldfrapp on iTunes to clicking on the RP stream and hearing it. I was confused for a second.
