1. nice to meet ya buddy. I'm from Brooklyn. I'm just curious...when you introduce yourself to someone...do you say hey, im from Albany/Buffalo/Rochester....or do you say New York. Because I kinda feel like upstate New York doesn't count...haha

    But I did work at Wegmans bakery for 4 1/2 years...best job I've ever had....true

    and don't worry about being overwhelmed...i still have plenty of time for other bands...other bands can be your driving music!!! I'm in the car a lot, so I get a chance to listen to a lot of bands...also check out Radiohead's new record "in rainbows"...their best record yet in my opinion!!
  2. nice intro,,, welcome

    I am origianlly from Vermont, but live in upsate NY now. Not to sound like John Cusak, but a little about me:

    Top 5 bands:
    1) U2
    2) The Beatles
    3) The Velvet Underground (and Lou solo)
    4) Oasis
    5) The Rolling Stones

    Top 5 new bands:
    1) The Killers
    2) The Strokes
    3) Arcade Fire (though the second album is terrbile)
    4) Jet
    5) The Arctic Monkeys

    Top 5 U2 albums (love them all though):
    1) ATYCLB
    2) Achtung Baby
    3) The Joshua Tree
    4) HTDAAB
    5) Boy

    Top 5 U2 songs not named Streets, One, and Bad (love them all though):
    1) Walk On
    2) So Cruel
    3) Out of Control
    4) Original of the Species
    5) Gone

    Top 5 U2 bootlegs:
    Well that is why I am here. I am bored with the fan club releases after so many repeated spins and I need to expand my U2 live mind. My only concern is that diving in too deep will engulf me too much into U2 and neglect the rest of my catalogue, but I am willing to give it a shot.

    Thoughts on bands compared to U2:
    Like some Coldplay songs, but not necessarily the albums.
    Like some Radiohead albums. Absolutely love the Bends and warming up to OK Computer lately.

    Peace
